The SPEAKMAN family has been traced back to the SE corner of Cambridgeshire, where Thomas SPAKEMAN married Alice HAILOCK in 1629
His grandson, Thomas SPEAKMAN, moved to Finchingfield in Essex around 1700 where he improved his lot from bricklayer and labourer to farmer.
His son John married the daughter of a farmer and migrated further south through Gosfield to Terling, where his sons became farmers and prosperous members of the Terling vestry. One of them, William, left over £1000 in his will of 1813, while another son, Thomas, occupied Fairstead Hall (an extensive tree of his many descendants has been constructed).
John and Ann were buried in Terling in 1793 where their gravestone is inscribed "A father kind a mother dear, two faithful friends lie buried here".
Their youngest son Francis became a farmer in the adjacent parish of Gt Leighs. He had only one child, a daughter, Ann Martha, who married John SMITH, a farmer of nearby Lt.Waltham in 1799.
