• Prof. Ray T. Spencer while making researches in his own line, discovered among the church records of St. George's Parish, Stotfold, Bedfordshire, England. much interesting data, concerning the line of Gerrard Spencer, the father of William, Thomas, Michael and Gerrard the emigrants, from which it appears that the above named Gerrard was the son of Michael who also had a brother Gerrard, and they were the sons of John. Thus three generations preceding the emigrants are definitely established. The church records of St. George's Parish, above referred to, show that "June 9, 1558, John Spencer, Sen., was buried."
• There is evidence to show that this John was the father of Michael and of the first Gerrard mentioned.
  • FROM NOTES OF GEO. T. SPENCER.
• The ancestry of Gerard Spencer and his brothers William, Thomas and Michael Spencer, appears from the parish registers of Edworth and Stotfield in Bedfordshire, Eng., and other contemporaneous documents.
• Jan. 25, 1555, Michael Spencer and Annis Liuur were married (the last name of Annis is so poorly written in the record that is cannot be definitely determined.)
• April 20, 1557, John, son of Michael Spencer baptized.
• May 27, 1558, was baptized Michael, son of Michael Spencer.
• April 15, 1560, buried Michael, son of Michael Spencer.
• 23 Feb. 1561, Annis, the wife of Michael Spencer, was buried.
• 20 Aug., 1564, Joan, the daughter of Michael Spencer, was baptized.

• 30 Aug., 1566, Michael Spencer, was baptized,} Twins
• 24 July, 156?, Ann, daughter of Michael Spencer baptized.
• 30 July, 1568, Jarratt Spencer and Ellen Whitson were married, whose will was proved at London, 20 May, 1577; he was brother of Michael the elder.

Some genealogists believe he might have been the father of Thomas Spencer, the immigrant to Maine.

This is not possible. THOMAS Spencer who Married PATIENCE CHADBOURNE has NOTHING to Do with THOMAS SPENCER of Stotfold, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND. They are two UN-related by blood Separate SPENCER Families--as PROVEN by DNA testing. Plz SEE: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/SPENCER?iframe=yresults .....Thomas of Stotfold is of GROUP #1-the 4 Brothers Group, whereas THOMAS of MAINE who married Patience Chadboune is of Group #19. They have Very different "roots"--the 4bros. line is of the Haplogroup E1B1b---Ashkenazi Jew, whereas the Haplogroup of Thomas of Maine is R1 of Roman heritage.
