Other than sailing from England, the details of William Spencer's life before Virginia are unknown.[39]

The Jan 1625 muster, ordered by the new king, James I, found William living with wife Alice and four-year old daughter Alice on "James Iland" in "James Citty."[40][1] A son, William, had died in 1624.[41][42] "William had another wife named Dorthy who came to Virginia in the Neptune in 1619.[43] Whether she preceded Alice or followed her is not entirely clear. In any event, we hear no more of wife or daughter Alice."[10] McCartney says, "In 1629 Spencer patented 290 acres of land using the headright of his current wife, Dorothy..." but confoundingly also says, "It is unclear whether William married Dorothy before or after he wed wife Alice, with whom he was living in January 1625."[44]
