Research Notes

It is unclear if Vance is the son of Ed Griffin and Sally Spears. A few census records show an interesting relationship between the family and Vance.

It is possible Vance was born out of wedlock and although in one census record he has the Griffin family name, in another he has the Spears family name. More research is needed.

Two children from 1900 census not yet added.
