Spence, a native of Texas, and a daughter of John Spence, one of the early settlers of the Lone Star State from Maryland. He belongs to an old Scotch family that came to this country during colonial times, that assisted in founding and became members of the first Presbyterian Church in America, at Snow Hill, Md., and from that time down to the present day some member of the family has been an elder in that historic church.
