Message Board Post:
I am searching for information regarding James Victor Spead, born 1888 in N.H.,
blacksmith. He was the father of my 83 yr.old cousin, Margaret Spead, born 1921,
Newburyport, Mas. and her sister Barbara born 1922/23. Their mother was Carrie Torrey of
Newburyport. James deserted the family shortly after Barbara was born and was never heard
from again. I cannot find any records of him after 1917 (WW1 draft registration card) but
did find a grandson James Spead living with the Champagne family in NH in one of the
censuses. My cousin would be very interested to hear any addt'l info re her father -
especially any medical information or living relatives as they wonder if a bi-polar
disorder might have been inherited from their father. Thank you for any info post 1917
you can provide.
Best regards, Diane Torrey
