Classification: Query
Surnames: Spann, Steadman, Barr, Fox
This posting is in answer to a question from Pat Sabin and Sharman Ramsey.
Phillip Norman Spann, Henry Fletcher Spann and Marcellus Steadman Spann were all brothers and sons of Phillip Churchill Spann (1836-1911) and Jane Adella Steedman (1838-1904). Their paternal grandparents were Rev. Henry Hammond Spann (1808-1870) and Caroline Christina Barr (1815-1883). Their maternal grandparents were Anderson Steedman and Lucretia Fox.
In 1901 these three men along with another brother James Barr Spann removed to Dothan, Alabama and founded the Spann Brothers firm in that place. The company owned 21,000 acres of Florida lands and were stock holders of the famous turpentine company Consolidated Naval Stores of Jacksonville, Florida. In Dothan, Alabama the Spann Brothers were merchants and farmers on a large scale.
Phillip Norman Spann was born 20 June 1869 in Lexington County, South Carolina and died 18 May 1927 in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama. He was married on 24 Nov 1897 in Orangeburg County, South Carolina to Miss Viola C. Stoll and had issue.
Henry Fletcher Spann was born 4 April 1863 in Lexington County, South Carolina and died 30 March 1932 in Bamberg County, South Carolina. He was married about 1894 to Miss Catherine Edna Johnson and had issue.
Marcellus Steadman Spann was born 29 July 1874 in Lexington County, South Carolina and died 12 May 1952 in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama. He was married to Miss Bessie O'Hara and had issue.
Dr. Charles Lewis Spann was a great nephew of the above named men. His father was Joseph Elliot Spann (b.1893) and his grandfather was John Albert Spann (b.1865), another brother to Phillip Norman Spann, Henry Fletcher Spann and Marcellus Steadman Spann.
I am unaware of any connection between the Spann and Wardlaw families.
