Andrew Speer who married Elizabeth Shelton was a son of another Andrew who was born in 1731 in Somerset county Maryland. This Andrew married Elizabeth "Betsy" __________? I believe she may have been the daughter of the Kennerly who was the father of Sarah Kennerly who married Aaron Speer, Sr. This Aaron was a brother to this Andrew. They were sons of Henry and Jane Calloway Speer who were married in 1711 in Somerset county Maryland. Henry was a son of Andrew Speer, the immigrant ancestor of our Speer family. The Andrew Speer who married Elizabeth Shelton left Surry county North Carolina about 1800 and went to Lee county Virginia. About 1805 He went with his family to Shelby county Ky. and from there some of his children and grandchildren came to Lawrence county Indiana. Andrew and Jacob Speer, sons of Henry and Jane Calloway Speer left Somerset county Maryland in 1771 and went to Surry county North Carolina. They were followed there shortly by two other brothers, Aaron, Sr. and John. Most of the Speer families in Yadkin county North Carolina today are descended from our Speer ancestors. The Michael Speer that Rollo referred to came from Germany to Virginia. His family had thousands of acres in Eastern Kentucky that was massively under pinned with coal. This Michael was not related to our Speer family, at least not in the states. Virgil B. Long Tax List of Somerset 1723: Andrew Speare.
