About John Spencer, II
GEDCOM Note
Source: The Greene's of Rhode Island by Louise Brownell Clarke He was a Cordwainer (leatherworker). He was Deputy for many years between 1699 and 1729; Justice of the Peace, 1704; and Speaker of the House of Deputies, 1712-29. He died in 1743. His will, dated July 2, 1733, proved December 31, 1743, mentions the following legacies: "To son John, homestead farm, Lott 222 tannery, utensils etc; to son William, a farm in East Greenwich; to grandson John, son of son William, Lott 132 E.G.; to grandson John, son of son John, Lott 137 E.G.; to grand-daughter Audrey Spencer, daughter of John, a house lot No. 10; to grand-daughter Audrey Spencer, daughter of William, a house lot No. 9; to sons John and William the rest of personal estate equally". Source: The History of East Greenwich, 1677-1960, by Martha R. McPartland The following is an except of the will of Charles Macarty, b: (?) d: 1682 East Greenwich, which was dated 1682. "Se'dly I make John Spenser Junior my Lawfull Haire unto whome I Give my house and Land or Lands in this towne after my desese and doe mack John Spenser senior father to the afore-said Spenser Gardian to his sonn and to teak cere that my will be parformed. My Beding and wooling close I Give to Susanna Spenser senior: scept one peace of brod cloth that I had to make mee a wascoot I give unto my my haire; My ould mere I Give unto Samuel Bennet and his foule or my youngest mere I give unto Mychell Spenser and the rest of my Chatle Goodes and Catter I give unto John Spenser Senior and all my deapts dowe to me". Entered into this Book of Record this 22nd of March, 1683 or 4 By mee John Spenser Town Clerk Very little is known about Charles McCarthy. Because the Spencers figure so definitly in his will it may be that he was related to them in some way. This theory has been worked on but nothing conclusive has ever been forthcoming. Also of interest is the fact the John Spencer, who as clerk did the writing, spells his own name "Spenser", instead of Spencer as is common today.
