Book Description

Excerpt from Thomas Spencer Family of Hartford, Connecticut: In the Line of Samuel Spencer, of Cromwell, Connecticut, 1744-1818 The following paper on the Spencer Family is the result of a careful examination of the Colonial Records of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The records of Middlesex and Essex Counties, and of Cambridge, Lynn, and Salem, Massachusetts, Hartford, Haddam, Middletown, and Cromwell, Connecticut. The early pages of this sketch could not have been written but for the researches in England of the eminent antiquary, Henry F. Waters, of Salem. We are also indebted for favors and valuable assistance to Charles J. Hoadly, LL. D., State Librarian of Connecticut, Hon. Richard P. Spencer, of Deep River, Connecticut, and others.
