John Spearman's wife's name was Susannah.[1]
John Spearman was born in 1644. He passed away in 1683. He was bured in St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, Virginia.[citation needed]
There is no primary source showing that his wife's maiden name was Catlett.
Furthermore, a primary source has yet to be found that shows a daughter Susannah for John Catlett I and Elizabeth Underwood. Their son Nicholas married a Susannah, who was "believed to be" a Meriwether and who appears in Essex Co., VA records as "Susannah Catlett." [2]
Father: Not likely to have been the John Spearman who is not known to have been alive past 1608 - see John Spearman (bef.1596-aft.1608). His profile was detached as father of this one as the relationship was not supported by sources, in addition to the probability that he had died 30 years or so before this John (Spearman-18) was born.
