DOes anyone want to exchange or discuss info. about the two Speed brothers' who traveled by boat to New York then to La Grange, tx. and Blackjack,Tx. via Galveston?(originally from England). There is a Speed reunion held every year in La Grange, tx. and is very interesting. Many Speed's possess a book started in late 1800's when two brothers came to New York and Texas from England and can trace their ancestry. Even though it dates backl further than this. Let me know by e- mailing me. Thanks! Jimmy D. Speed

Were the two brothers from Leeds,Halifax or Bradford, if so I'm interested.

Dean, One brother (thomas speed) was from Lincolnshire, England(b.1819) (d. 1869) in Muldoon, Tx. Fayette County

Where in Lincolnshire was Thomas 1819 born? Do you know who his parents were?

John Taylor

He was born in Osbournsby, Lincolnshire, england on May 19, 1819. I am presently trying to research his parents names. Sorry it has been 5 years before I responded! Jimmy

John Speed was his dad. Not sure of mom. New Sleaford is where he was born. Do you know any Speed's in that area?
