 Speed Family Genealogy
Many Speed researchers have attempted to conclusively prove that their lines are descendants of John Speed who was born at Farrington, County Cheshire, England in 1552 during the reign of King Edward VI, the same year in which Sir Walter Raleigh was born and twelve years before William Shakespeare was born.
The Encyclopedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition indicates that he was the son of a London tailor and that John followed in his father's trade, being admitted as a member of the Merchant Taylors Company in 1580.
Much historical debate centers on several Speed family sources which tie James B. Speed, son of Dr, John Speed of Southampton, England (1628-1711), who was born in Southampton, England on September 28, 1679.
