He married Mary Unknown. She bore him three known children, two sons and one daughter:

1. Daniel Spangler

On 3 November 1787, when he was in his early seventies, he died in Franklin County, Virginia, of unknown causes.^[2] He was buried in Pigg River Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Callaway, Franklin County, Virginia.^[3]
