Johann (went by John) Georg (usually spelled George in later years) Spach was the 5th of 12 known children of Johann Adam Spach (1753-1816) and Catherina Tesch (became Tesh) (1759-1829), who married 23 Nov 1779 at Friedberg, Surry County (became Stokes County in 1789 and Forsyth County in 1849), North Carolina.

John married first to Maria Sarah Schor (became Shore) (1792-1843) on 28 Mar 1811 at Friedberg, Stokes (now Forsyth) County, North Carolina. John and Maria were the parents of nine known children, six boys and three girls. Six of the nine children grew to maturity. John and Maria lived their lives in the vincinity of the Moravian community of Friedberg, present-day on the border of Forsyth and Davidson Counties, North Carolina. Many of their children spelled the surname as Spaugh, instead of Spach, starting usually sometime in the 1860s. The nine known children were:
