About CPT John Spafford, Jr

John Spafford settled in Groton, Massachusetts probably emigrating from Rowley (Georgetown), Massachusetts (Spofford Genealogy, p. 50).

Some doubt exists that this John Spafford is the son of Jonathan Spofford but the circumstances favor this theory strongly (ibid).

In the cemetery at Pepperell, Massachusetts, a stone is inscribed, "John Spafford who was a faithful deacon of this Church about six years, until he fell asleep July 7th, 1754, in his 40th year of his age. This stone erected to his memory at the charge of the church (Ellen Smith to John Clement, 26 Dec 2003).* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Jul 14 2022, 14:25:38 UTC
