Biography
William Spencer was born about 1656, died at East Haddam, Conn., in 1731. He is the son of Gerard Spencer. He married Margaret Bates, born 19 Jun 1664, daughter of James. Since Margaret was three months under 17 years old when William's first child was born, it has been suggested that this child was by a first unknown wife. That is quite possible, but not necessarily so. He had ten children, born at Haddam, Connecticut.<ref>Entered by Wilfred Vasile, Aug 7, 2012, and updated by Michael Spencer, Oct 6, 2013</ref>
