- A Spurlin Family in America (1987 genealogy) · Genealogy weak
A Spurlin Family in America is a 230-page family genealogy compiled by Quincy Haggard Spurlin and edited by George Spurlin, published in 1987. It follows one line from Jeremiah Spurling (1680–1725) down to George W. Spurlin (1854–1921) and a Texas branch; WikiTree places a man of that name in a Georgia and Alabama family that moved to Texas. - Owen and Amanda Spurlin Family of Mississippi · Genealogy weak
