   Alabama & Florida Maps showing location of  early Spear/Speir Families!
   The earliest known Spear/Spears/Speir/Speer families in southern Alabama and the Florida pan handle have been plotted on maps to illustrate their location.  Some of these families traveled frequently across the Alabama and Florida state line and probably maintained dual residences.  "Spear, Speir, Speer & Family" book owners can refer to these maps to locate areas where families bought and sold property.  The maps are in PDF format which can be opened by any Adobe Acrobat program.
