Ahnentafel #216 - John Speer

John Speer

Born: August 17, 1785, Morgantown, Burke Co., North Carolina

Died: November 12, 1856, Oldham County, Kentucky

Buried: in family cemetery on the Speer farm in Oldham County, Kentucky

Married:  ca. December 1805 Mary Grove in Morganton, Burke Co., North Carolina.  As his son John Grove Speer described it:

At that time he liked nine months of being twenty-one years of age.  Now something occupied his attention and another bargain had to be made, and he was not slow about it.  There resided in the town a sturdy Dutchman, engaged in the tanning business, and who had several industrious, healthy daughters.  One of these, shall I say it, bewitched him, so that he could not rest satisfied until he got her indentured for life, at the same time giving her a like pledge on his part, which they faithfully kept.  She was the third daughter of John Grove, and was named Mary Barbary Grove.  After the marriage she was at home with the young smith, at his father's where they resided for about five years, or until they started West. [Speer, John. Reminiscences of the Speer Family, pp. 16-17].

In 1822 William Goff, of Sheldon, brother of Hezekiah Goff, came to town, and for the sum of $1,000 bought the falls and much of the land surrounding.  He put into the saw-mill previously built by Blaisdell a run of stones for grinding.  Mr. Goff afterwards built the grist-mill now standing.  In making repairs on this mill, in 1884, the following inscription was found on the back side of the bolt: "The first grist-mill built in Richford was built by Colonel Seymour in 1797, burnt up in 1800.  The second built in 1803, by Jonathan Janes, and stood until William Goff built another in 1824.  William Goff built, in 1837, the mill now standing.  Men worked on this mill:  A. Newton, S. Brown, W. Davis, A. Squire, C. Smith, F. Lamb, J. Wells, Jon. J. Combs, R. Lathrop, J. Harvey, A. Carr, and J. Upham.
