SPURRIER

Thomas Beale Spurrier married Mary Ann Margaret Albaugh 1850

In 1974 John and Gertrude Hamlin published Spurriers In America. This well-researched genealogy covers this family so thoroughly that I hesitate to repeat much of the material therein. Therefore, after Generation 4 I shall present only that which is pertinent to my own family.

The first documented Spurrier in my lineage is William who on 7 February 1702 in St. Peter's Parish, Talbot County, Maryland married Elizabeth Turner d/o Edward and Sarah Meridith Turner. Nothing further appears in Maryland records concerning William and/or Elizabeth but Edward Turner, in his will, lists a bequest to his "grandson, Thomas Spurrier."
