William was the son of John Speight and wife Elizabeth. The proof of this can be found in the will of William Powell of Isle of Wight Co, VA, Bk 4, p. 85. John Speight and brother William Speight were the executors of William Powell's will dated 13 Sep 1747, pr 12 Nov 1747. William Speight of Edgecombe Co, NC sold 75 acres in Isle of Wight Co, VA given to William Speight by the last will & testament of William Powell, dec'd. William Powell gave a deed of gift to his dau-in-lw Elizabeth Speight now the wife of John Speight 70 acres in Lower Parish of Isle of Wight during her natural life land on the western branch in Isle of Wight. Bk 4, p. 200 deeds, 1732. Deed BK 4, p. 230 to my loving kinsman John Speight and his wife Elizabeth 50 acres adj. Richard Hutchins & Jacob Powell (1733). William Speight & Abigail sold land in Edgecombe (Halifax deed Bk 8, p. 431 stating he was of Johnston Co, NC. Wake formed in 1771 from Johnston Co, NC.

On 18 November 1760, William Speight requested his brother John's patent of 300 acres be transferred to him since John had recently been killed (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 6, p. 341).

NOTES BY DORIS SCOTT: William Speight was probably born in Virginia as the Speights were in Nansemond County, Virginia, in the late 1600?s and early 1700?s before migrating to North Carolina through Perquimans and Chowan Counties and settling in Craven County in the section that became Johnston County in 1746 and then part of Wake County in 1770. Several land grants are recorded for William Speight in Craven County from 1751 to 1765. William Speight served as a captain in the Johnston County Militia in the French and Indian Wars in 1754.
