William SPENCER was christened on 11 Oct 1601 in Stotfold, Bedford, England.⁽⁸⁶⁸²⁾⁽⁸⁶⁸³⁾⁽⁸⁶⁸⁴⁾⁽⁸⁶⁸⁵⁾ He was a town clerk before 1638 in Newtown (Cambridge), Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁸⁶⁾ He moved in 1638 to Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁸⁷⁾ He was townsman and record keeper between 1638 and 1640 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁸⁸⁾ He Granted, as an original proprietor of Hartford, 40 acres on 3 Jan 1639/40 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁸⁹⁾ He signed a will on 4 May 1640 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁹⁰⁾ He died after 4 May 1640 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁶⁹¹⁾⁽⁸⁶⁹²⁾⁽⁸⁶⁹³⁾ Parents: Gerard SPENCER and Alice WHITBREAD.

William SPENCER was born about 1545 in Edworth, Bedford, England.⁽⁸⁶⁹⁴⁾ Parents: Yeoman John SPENCER and Anne MERRILL.

William SPENCER Parents: Henry SPENCER and Isabel LINCOLN.

Ann SPRAGUE was born about 1614 in England.⁽⁸⁶⁹⁵⁾⁽⁸⁶⁹⁶⁾⁽⁸⁶⁹⁷⁾ According to Stratton (715), the nature of the relationship between "Anna" and Francis is not known. It is known that Francis was part of the 1627 cattle division, as were Anna and Mercy Sprague. Mercy is known to be a daughter but the relationship between Anna and Francis is not proven. She may have been his daughter or his wife. Parents: Francis SPRAGUE and First wife.

Dorcas SPRAGUE was born about 1632 in Massachusetts.⁽⁸⁶⁹⁸⁾ Parents: Francis SPRAGUE and Second wife.

Francis SPRAGUE was born about 1590 in England.⁽⁸⁶⁹⁹⁾ The date is just a guess based upon knowing that he had children born before and after 1623. He emigrated in Jul 1623 to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁰⁰⁾⁽⁸⁷⁰¹⁾⁽⁸⁷⁰²⁾ Francis arrived with wife and daughters, Ann and Mercy, aboard the ship Anne, which was only the third ship to arrive at Plymouth. He granted 3 acres as passanger on the Anne between Jul 1623 and 31 Dec 1631 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁰³⁾⁽⁸⁷⁰⁴⁾ Includes land grant in 1627 division. He was taxed Taxed 18 shillings according to Plymouth tax lists on 25 Mar 1633 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁰⁵⁾⁽⁸⁷⁰⁶⁾ He appeared in court in 1634 in Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁰⁷⁾ Edward Doty sued Francis Cook and on this day, the court awarded Doty six shillings six pence plus a half peck of malt. He was taxed Taxed 18 shillings according to Plymouth tax lists on 29 Mar 1634 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁰⁸⁾⁽⁸⁷⁰⁹⁾ He moved between 29 Mar 1634 and 1638 to Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁰⁾⁽⁸⁷¹¹⁾⁽⁸⁷¹²⁾ He paid taxes in 1634 in Plymouth but in 1638 he was granted a victualling license in Duxbury. Francis was one of the early settlers of Duxbury. He is one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, but there is no record of him ever living there. He sold "all his right and title" to his land in Duxbury in 1637 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹³⁾ He took the oath of a freeman on 7 Jun 1637 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁴⁾ He Slave or indentured servant owner Owned an indetured servant for one year named James Leighhorne in 1638/39 in Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁵⁾ On 4 Mar 1638/39, James Leighhorne indentured himself to Francis SPRAGUE for a year. The terms are not quite clear but I think Francis must give him £6 and 2 pounds of tobacco upon completion. He was an Inn and tavern keeper and planter between 1638 and 1666 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁶⁾ Francis kept an ordinary (inn and tavern) but had a run in with the court over his liquor license. He was licensed 1 Oct 1638 but the license was suspended 5 May 1640. He was not relicensed until 7 Jul 1646. This license was recalled 20 years later on 5 Jun 1666. It is not clear whether this recall was a court imposed action or whether Francis was simply retiring being about age 76. It is also not clear to me personally whether Francis was able to run a dry tavern while his license to sell spirits was revoked.

An unknown source suggests that the 1638 license was actually a RE-license following an earlier suspension for "...drinking overmuch and tolerating too much jollity" and knowingly serving guests beyond the legal limit.

According to an unknown source, Francis Sprague was granted a license to sell liquor on 1 October 1637 and established one of the first taverns and inns in New England. Four other ordinaries existed in the region at this time. James Cole (just north of Plymouth) operated one. The other three were either owned or operated by Constant Southworth or Isaac Robinson. Ordinaries were regulated by religious colonial authorities. There were officials appointed to monitor the intake of liquor of patrons who could require the tavern operator to stop serving anyone that the official thought had drunk too much as well as check for other activities forbidden at ordinaries, including tobacco, card playing, and dice gaming. The officials were occasionally nuisances themselves. Tavern owners were responsible for the sobriety of their patrons and could be charged equally for the actions of intoxicated patrons. Generally, licenses to operate a tavern and serve liquor were typically granted only to respectable persons, not to those were themselves drank to intoxication. Francis Sprague's liquor license, however, was suspended for his "...drinking overmuch and tolerating too much jollity" and he was admonished knowing serving guests beyond the legal limit. That suspension was lifted in 1638.
He appeared in court on 2 Jan 1638 in Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁷⁾⁽⁸⁷¹⁸⁾ Francis was fined 6 shillings for beating William Holloway, a former servant of William Bassett, but Holloway was fined 5 shillings as well. He appeared in court on 4 Dec 1638 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷¹⁹⁾ One of 9 men fined three shillings for failure to appear in court, however, he was not one of the 7 who were fined a second and third time. He appeared in court on 3 Mar 1639/40 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁰⁾ Francis was fined 20s for drawing wine contrary to court order. He two acres of march meadow on 28 Mar 1642 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²¹⁾ He appeared in court on 2 Aug 1642 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²²⁾ On this date, Francis was accused of selling a "fowling piece" [a gun] to an Indian. He one hald his share of land to "his son-in-law Ralph Earle of Road Island" on 1 Apr 1644 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²³⁾ He took the oath of a freeman on 7 Jun 1646 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁴⁾ He was Duxbury surveyor of highways on 7 Jun 1648 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁵⁾ He was Constable between 1650 and 1653 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁶⁾⁽⁸⁷²⁷⁾ Was constable twice during this period: in 1650 and on 4 Jun 1653. He was Duxbury surveyor of highways on 3 Jun 1657 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁸⁾ He sold 50 acrs to William Lawrence "my son-in-law" on 26 Oct 1659 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷²⁹⁾ He Deeded house to his son John with the provision that he could not take pocession until Francis died. on 27 Apr 1661 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷³⁰⁾ He all of his land (about 50 acres), his house and other builfdings (deeded over to son John) on 3 May 1664 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷³¹⁾ He died between 1670 and 2 Mar 1679/80 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷³²⁾⁽⁸⁷³³⁾ According to Stratton, he his listed on the 1670 Duxbury freeman list but his name is crossed out which suggests he died soon after. He was educated signed his deeds with his mark.⁽⁸⁷³⁴⁾ Anderson's The Great Migration Begins uses deductive reasoning to postulate that Francis had two wives.

He married to First wife about 1614 in England.⁽⁸⁷³⁵⁾ This date is Anderson's estimate based on an estimated date of marriage. Children were: Ann SPRAGUE, Mercy SPRAGUE, John SPRAGUE.

He married to Second wife before 1630.⁽⁸⁷³⁶⁾ Children were: John SPRAGUE, Dorcas SPRAGUE.

John SPRAGUE was born about 1630 in Massachusetts.⁽⁸⁷³⁷⁾ Parents: Francis SPRAGUE and Second wife.

John SPRAGUE was born about 1635 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷³⁸⁾ He Samuel NASH and John SPRAGUE were fined £3 for witnessing a document for seprating William and Mercy in 1664 in Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷³⁹⁾ The document was written by William Pabodie. He died about 1676.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁰⁾ Parents: Francis SPRAGUE and First wife.

Mercy SPRAGUE was born about 1617 in England.⁽⁸⁷⁴¹⁾⁽⁸⁷⁴²⁾ She emigrated in Jul 1623 to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁴³⁾ She arrived aboard the ship "Ann" with her father francis and mother. Ann was the third vessel to arrive at Plymouth. She moved in 1631/32 to Duxbury, Plymouth, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁴⁾ She appeared in court on 2 Mar 1651 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁵⁾ Mercy TUBBS, wife of William, was ordered by warrant to appear in court in June. She been charged with "mixed dancing" but "was cleared of this charge with an admonishment." She appeared in court on 3 Mar 1662 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁶⁾ Rebecka and Allice Peirce apparently informed the court that they had seen Joseph Rogers and Mercy TUBBS "lying under a blanket" together. Joseph sued the pair for liable asking for 20 £ in damages. When the case was called, however, Joseph was a no-show, and one might well assume that the charge that he and Mercy were having an affair had was indeed true. She appeared in court on 1 Jun 1663 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁷⁾⁽⁸⁷⁴⁸⁾ The court was next informed that Jospeh Rogers had "frequently and from time kept companie with Mercie Tubbs, the wife of William Tubbs." This time the court was not about to tolerate an adulterous relationship. It found the there was now cause to suspect thyat there had been "lascivious acts committed by them." The court ordered Joseph to "remove his dwelling" and warned that if Rogers is ever again found in the companie of Mercy TUBBS, he shall be "severly whipt." She appeared in court on 5 Oct 1663 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁴⁹⁾⁽⁸⁷⁵⁰⁾ Although the court had previously ordered that Joseph Rogers keep his distance from Mercy TUBBS, they were caught again. Testimony was submitted that Mercy TUBBS was not only seen "carrying on" in front of Joseph Rogers but that at another time "they were both lying together one night on a bed, under a rug, before the fire." A jury issued a verdict of "true presentment (guilty)" and Joseph and Mercy "were heavily fined." Mercy left William at this time and was soon living in Rhode Island. She appeared in court on 1 Aug 1665 in Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁵¹⁾ On this day, John Arther appeared in court to answer to charges of abusive speech towards William TUBBS, but he claimed he could produce evidence that could clear him so the court released him until October. I have, however, no further record. She moved between 1 Aug 1665 and 1668 to RI.⁽⁸⁷⁵²⁾⁽⁷³⁷²⁾ Mercy self-exiled herself to Rhode Island, a state which had been founded upon the principle of religious freedom by Roger Williams, who the Puritans exiled from Massachusetts in the winter of 1636. Although the Puritans left England because it was intolerant of teachings inconsistent with the Church of England, they were themselves intolerant of non-Puritan religious views and behavior.

"Expelled from Massachusetts in the dead of winter in 1636, former Puritan leader Roger Williams (1603-1683) issued an impassioned plea for freedom of conscience. He wrote, 'God requireth not an uniformity of Religion to be inacted and inforced in any civill state; which inforced uniformity (sooner or later) is the greatest occasion of civill Warre, ravishing of conscience, persecution of Christ Jesus in his servants, and of hypocrisy and destruction of millions of souls.' Williams later founded Rhode Island on the principle of religious freedom. He welcomed people of every shade of religious belief, even some regarded as dangerously misguided, for nothing could change his view that 'forced worship stinks in God's nostrils.'"

"Although they were victims of religious persecution in Europe, the Puritans supported the Old World theory that sanctioned it, the need for uniformity of religion in the state. Once in control in New England, they sought to break 'the very neck of Schism and vile opinions.' The 'business' of the first settlers, a Puritan minister recalled in 1681, 'was not Toleration, but [they] were professed enemies of it.' Puritans expelled dissenters from their colonies, a fate that in 1636 befell Roger Williams and in 1638 Anne Hutchinson, America's first major female religious leader. Those who defied the Puritans by persistently returning to their jurisdictions risked capital punishment, a penalty imposed on four Quakers between 1659 and 1661." She resided in Jul 1668 in RI.⁽⁸⁷⁵³⁾ She died after 7 Jul 1668 in RI.⁽⁸⁷⁵⁴⁾
The court fined Joseph Rogers 5 £, gave him 19 days vacate Namassakeesett, and from the TUBBS' house and from being with Mercye TUBBS "alone in any place" or else Roger will be "scuerly whipt." Interestingly, the court ordered William TUBBS "not to tolerate [Rogers] in his house to come to his house or where hee hath to doe att any time, as hee will answare the same att his pill." So it would seem that if Roger violated his order, TUBBS would have to deal with him in some way or be whipped himself. Parents: Francis SPRAGUE and First wife.

She married to William TUBBS on 9 Nov 1637 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁵⁵⁾⁽⁸⁷⁵⁶⁾⁽⁸⁷⁵⁷⁾⁽⁸⁷⁵⁸⁾ Judson states that he was "probably" married in Duxbury. She was divorced from William TUBBS on 7 Jul 1668 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁵⁹⁾⁽⁸⁷⁶⁰⁾ On this date, William TUBBS was granted a divouse from his wife after trying to do so for 17 years after Mercy was first admonished for unpuritanlike behavior, and 4 years of repeated petitioned for divorce from William TUBBS, during which time he and his wife were estranged, the court decided to give Mercy just one more chance. it sent a notice to Mercy , now living in Rhode Island, "to return to William or lose all rights and claims against him." When her negative reply was received on 7 Jul 1668, the court granted William his divorce that day:
"Whereas a Marcye, the wife of William Tubbs, being a woman of ill fame and light behavior ... hath for ... four years ... [dwelt in] another colonie ... and ... will not be reclaimed nor pswaded to returne and abide with him as shee ought to doe ... and ... liue with him as shee ought to doe .. that he should be divorced from her ... and she hath since, before competent witness, professed and affeirmed that shee will never return againe unto him while her eyes are open ... This court, therefore, sees cause and doe hereby declare, that the said William TUBBS is legally cleare from his covenant of marriage formerly made with Marcye, his late wife ... and Marcye hath cutt of herself any right henceforth to the pson or estate of the said William TUBBS, her late husband, and hereby allowing him liberte to dispose of himself in marriage, if hee see fitt soe to doe." William and Mercy probably had other children, but no records have been found thus far. Savage says that William was one of the first proprietors of Bridgewater, but it seems likely that William ever lived in Connecticut. Children were: Samuel TUBBS, Bethya TUBBS, William TUBBS.

Jane STAINWOOD died on 18 Aug 1706.⁽⁸⁷⁶¹⁾ Their is another Jane Stainwood living at the exact same time also in Gloucester.

She married to Phillip STANWOOD Sr before 1653.⁽⁸⁷⁶²⁾ Children were: Phillip STANWOOD Jr, John STANWOOD, Jane STANWOOD, Samuel STANWOOD, Jonathan STANWOOD, Niomi STANWOOD, Ruth STANWOOD, Hannah STANWOOD.

She married to John PEARCE on 12 Sep 1673.⁽⁸⁷⁶³⁾⁽⁸⁷⁶⁴⁾

Phyllis STANE

She married to Henry LYMAN on 15 Jun 1587.⁽⁸⁷⁶⁵⁾⁽⁸⁷⁶⁶⁾⁽⁸⁷⁶⁷⁾ He married Phyllis Scane only two months after Elizabeth was buried. Siemiatkoski (627) says it was 19 Jun 1587. Holman (616) says it was about 1576 but does not even attempt to separate the children from each mother suggesting not much thought went into the marriage date. Children were: Henry LYMAN, William LYMAN, Phyllis LYMAN .

She married to William GREEN on 26 Apr 1608 in Navestock, Essex, England.⁽⁸⁷⁶⁸⁾⁽⁸⁷⁶⁹⁾

STANLEY

According to Trumbull (679), John Stanley died while emigrating to New England with three children but, presumably, no wife. The youngest died before 3 Mar 1634/35. John was adopted by bother Thomas. Ruth was adopted by brother Timothy. Children were: Sergeant Thomas STANLEY, Timothy STANLEY, John STANLEY.

STANLEY was born before 1624.⁽⁸⁷⁷⁰⁾ He (or she) died on 3 Mar 1634/35.⁽⁸⁷⁷¹⁾ Parents: John STANLEY.

Thomas agreed to adopt John. John had a sister Ruth who was adopted by the third brother, Timothy Stanley. The third and youngest child of John died in 1634, probably at sea as well. Parents: Sergeant Thomas STANLEY and Benet. Parents: John STANLEY.

Mary STANLEY died on 13 Sep 1688.⁽⁸⁷⁷⁷⁾ Parents: Sergeant Thomas STANLEY and Benet.

She married to John PORTER.⁽⁸⁷⁷⁸⁾⁽⁸⁷⁷⁹⁾ Children were: Hannah PORTER.

Nathaniel STANLEY was born in 1638 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁰⁾ He moved in 1659 to Hadley, Hampshire, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁸¹⁾ He moved in 1669 to Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸²⁾ He died on 14 Nov 1712 in Hartford, Hartford, CT.⁽⁸⁷⁸³⁾ Parents: Sergeant Thomas STANLEY and Benet.

Ruth STANLEY was adopted abt april 1634 or may 1634 in at sea.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁴⁾ Parents: John STANLEY. Parents: Timothy STANLEY.

Sarah STANLEY Parents: Sergeant Thomas STANLEY and Benet.

Sergeant Thomas STANLEY emigrated in May 1634 to Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He came on the Elizabeth and Dorcas, which, along with nine other ships, was delayed on the River Thames on 22 Feb 1634 because an Anglican Bishop disliked so many dissenters going to Boston at once. The men took a loyalty oath, were released on 28 Feb 1634, and the ships probably sailed soon after. Most of the fleet arrived between May 12 and 17 (about 75 days), but the Elizabeth and Dorcas was damaged and did not arrive until late June or early July (over 100 days). It had hit a rock in the Scilly Islands and went ashore for repair. The Scilly Island were owned by Lord Godolphin, who repaired ships damaged on the rock for years. Since a thorough repair would take a month and the Elisabeth and Dorcas left sooner, It is assumed that they were merely given a "sea patch" and pressed on. The ship was smaller (20 canon, 262 tons) then many that weighed as much as 600 tons. Unfortunately, the ship was unable to keep up with the other ships. It was also not properly provisioned. The longer voyage further reduced its provisions and resulted in starvation and probably scurvy before its arrival in Boston. An entry in the ship's log reads "six died but all others recovered except....". Records indicate that at the time of their arrival, the sick child of the deceased John Stanley was still alive, but since there is no mentioned in the division of John's estate in Sept 1634, it is assumed to have died by then.
He moved before 1635 to Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁵⁾ He took the oath of a freeman on 4 Mar 1635 in Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁶⁾ He appeared in court on 2 Sep 1635 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁷⁾⁽⁸⁷⁸⁸⁾ On this date, Thomas was fined for not appearing in court to fulfill his civic duty as deputy to the General Court. Love (680) concludes that Thomas had at by this time left Lynn and was preparing for his removal to Hartford with Hooker's company. He would become one of Hartford's very first settlers. The removal by Hooker was not permitted by the Colony. He moved in Oct 1635 to Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁸⁹⁾⁽⁸⁷⁹⁰⁾ He was constable in 1636 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁹¹⁾ He Granted, as an orginial proprietor of Harford, a 42 acre home-lot on Main St. north of Little River in 1639 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁹²⁾⁽⁸⁷⁹³⁾ He was not just a proprietor but one of the 25 "adventurers" who came with Rev. Hooker to settle in Hartford commemorated in 1935 on "Adventurers Bolder" on Main and Arch Streets. He was constable between 1644 and 1653 in Hartford, Connecticut Colony.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁴⁾ Served during the years 1644, 1648, and 1653. He moved in 1659 to Hadley, Hampshire, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁵⁾ He was townsman in 1659 in Hadley, Hampshire, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁶⁾ He died before 31 Jan 1663 in Hadley, Hampshire, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁷⁾ He was buried on 31 Jan 1663 in Hadley, Hampshire, MA.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁸⁾ He Commemorated as one of 25 "Adventurers" who settled Hartford. on 15 Oct 1935 in Hartford, Hartford, CT.⁽⁸⁷⁹⁹⁾ On this date, a plaque was placed on "Adventurers Boulder" on Main and Arch Streets to commemorate 25 early setters of Hartford.

Gertrude STINE

She married to Herman SCHLACHET on 6 Dec 1909.⁽⁷⁹²⁵⁾ They moved into an elegant apartment above Central Park. Accoring to Arnold HARTLEY (043), Herman and Scheidel were the only two children of Josef SCHLACHET and Ester Tieberger, but Joseph had other children through a previous marriage. Herman eventually emigrated from Austria to settle in Chicago. His son, Arnold HARTLEY, believes Herman was the first SCHLACHET in this country. Herman was born in Bialy-Dunajec (pronounced Done-i-et), Austria's Tatra range of the Carpathian Mountains. The town is known for its "Gorali" which is Polish for the wood carving of the native mountaineers. Bialy-Dunajiec is a few miles away from the larger towns of Nowy Targ and the skiing resort of Zakopane. All of these towns are now part of Poland. His father Joseph died when Herman was two and Jennie was three months old. Jennie remained with Ester, but Herman was sent away and raised by his half-brother Moritz (Josef's eldest son), who basically adopted him.

At home, Herman and Gertrude spoke mainly German. Arnold learned German by listening to his parents (005).

Children were: Arnold HARTLEY, Daniel SCHLACHET, Anna SCHLACHET.
