  • Notes 
    • Clarence Everet "Pete" Spang wrote in 1963 that Michael was married twice but had no children by his first wife. This statement is inconsistent with the census records which show the following: 1850, Salem, Westmoreland County, PA (image 16/57)
      Michael J Spang 36
      Susan Spang 35
      Sophia Spang 15
      Josiah 13
      Barbara 8
      George A 7
      The 1860 census for Leechburg, Armstrong Co. PA (Page 48, Stamped 322 (image 5/10)) Michl, 44, brick maker, is living with his wife, Martha, 46, and 2 children, Anne A, 20 and George, 18, brick molder.
      Although the ages are a little off, the family composition is correct. It would appear that Michael did not have any children by his second wife, Martha. Also, Leechburg is about 35 miles from Salem so the family could easily have moved.
