General Notes: Husband - Joseph H. Spayd
He obtained a liberal education; was a graduate of Yale College; studied law and was admitted a member of the Reading, Pennsylvania, bar in 1826. Two years after his admission he was appointed by attorney-general Ellmaker, prosecuting attorney of the courts of Berks County. Being possessed of considerable means he relinquished the practice of his profession early in life and devoted his time to liberal reading, having a strong partiality for general literature. He accumulated an excellent library and was especially interested in the study of natural science, his favorite branches being geology and natural history.
