"SPRADLIN, Jesse and Jincy "Jeany" Canterbury. Surety, Josua Phipps.Married 21 November 1813 by (Racoon) John Smith. Endorsement on Bond:"Parties of age". (Since Jesse would have been about 69 years old,this note may have been made in a facious or sarcastic manner.)
Early American Marriages, Atlantic South Regions gives the sameinformation as above, but calls her "Jenny" instead of "Jeany".

His son James wife, Elizabeth Mounce, was born about 1792. If weassume James was 21 years old when he married her on Nov 12 or 19,1809, then he would have been born in 1788. This indicates that Jeany(or Jenny?) Canterbury could not have been James mother since she didnot marry Jesse until 1813. His mother must have been ElizabethColquitt if in fact this is the correct Jesse. There are other JesseSpradlings alive at this time and I don't know anything about theirgeneaologys. One of thehese other wives of a Jesse Spradling is SallyStone who did not marry until 1820, so she could not have been themother of James. Also, Gene Starks page on the internet indicatesthat Jesse Spradling married a woman named Mary Appling, but there isno indication of where or when.
