Thank you for sharing this do you know if he was married twice 

Graves-2359 Lucia (Graves) Spearman (abt.1766 - abt 1794)

Adkinson-138 Grace (Adkinson) Spearman (abt. 1763 - abt. 1823)

I got another Spearman-103 James Spearman (abt. 1764 - aft. 1820) I’m getting them mixed up trying to get information correct 

Thanks

Two James Spearman’s on the 1800 census 

This is him he has 6 living in household https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/502646:7590?tid=&pid=&queryId=534d1d8d4c4374afb075db5fe9a0a23e&_phsrc=xnz1&_phstart=successSource

This isn’t him he has 11 living in household https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/502660:7590?tid=&pid=&queryId=f6e9801191ebfcdf7b924fdbebff6df8&_phsrc=xnz6&_phstart=successSource

I believe the second one with 11 in household is his nephew Spearman-103 James Spearman (abt.1764- aft. 1820)

Son Graves Spearman in Findagrave has the following recorded by someone:

"Son of James died about Dec 1, 1800 in Newberry and Lucia Graves Daughter of Francis Graves

also married Grace Atkinson or Adkison ?

Grace and James daughter Betsy half sibling to Graves Spearman"

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/20461054/graves-spearman

James mentions in his Will leaving his wife Grace Spearman one feather bed & furniture. Also bequeaths to daughter Betsey Spearman "...all the Land House and furniture and money arising etc which I lent my beloved wife after her death...." So 2 marriages it looks like.

Still some doubt about birth date. Findagrave is a transcript  with no shown image or reference to accuracy. If indeed he was born earlier then this may be him:

Yes I believe he was born a little earlier and I have him listed with two brothers Edmund and Thomas Spearman

Thanks for sharing this information
