Person:William Spahn (1)

NOTE: I have not found him definitively before 1930. There is a 'William Spohn', son of Henry Spohn and Susan Tuers, listed in Essex Co. in 1900-1930.

 In the 1900 census for Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, in the Children's Home, there are listings for Mabel Spohn 9 b. Mar 1891 NJ; Arthur 11 b. Mar 1889; and William 6 b. May 1894 -- all born NJ (parents not recorded).

 NOTE: I am not sure if this is the correct William in the 1920 census.
 In the 1920 census for Montclair, Essex Co., New Jersey, William 'Spawn' is 24 NJ (NY, NY), single, 'driver - automobile'.  He is boarding with Charles Pierce 35 NJ 'driver automobile'; wife Louise 33 NJ (father 'at sea', mother NJ); and their children Albin 13; Charles 11; and Marion 1 and 6 mos.
