Comment Detail: Source identifies Isaac Mongomery[Montgomery] as an heir of James Spear, but since his surname is Mongomery, it is presumably his wife Elizabeth who is the heir (she is already known from other sources). The source does not provide sufficient evidence to denote the type of parent/child relationship. In common practice, the term heir usually indicates a child (or a child's spouse) of a person, as opposed to legatee, who is a named beneficiary in a will.
