This bill was protested by Joshua Maiuett, Notary and 'J
belliou publick of London, who reported that " the said l.)aii_\
Spencer answered that iiee will [>ay noe uiouneyes nor haue

The above case was referred to the arbitration of Capt. lio:
Spenser and C hristophei' Lawton."

From tlie fijregoing bill of exclian2e, it will be seen t
Michael Spencer, a legatee of Richard Sponcer of L
don, and brother of Jarrard. Thrmias and William, \
living in Xew England in 1C4S.

Spencer, sister of the deceased. ITis widow Elizaborh is
believed to lia\-e spent the last years of her life with her
son Samuel in the North Society of Middlctown. now the
town of Cromwell.

On the records of the Cromwell Congregational Chui'ch is
this entry : '• 1S07, January ;J1. I)ied the AVidow Spencer
aged 89 years." On a gravestone in the Cromwell Quarry
Burying Ground is this inscri|)tion : -In niemery of Mrs
Elizabeth Spencer relict of ^Ir John Sjicncer who died June
30'" AD. 1807, .Et 90."

There is no entry on the Church records to correspond
with the date of deaih on the a-ravc stnne. Tlie entries on
the Church records api'car in the order of date. The entry
following that of Widow Spencer is dated February IT. We
know of no other Widow S]H'ncer in iliddlotown wliose
death could have been inriMidod by tlic enti'y on the Cluii'ch
records. We are therefore inclined to accept this entry
as being the true date of tlie death of Elizabeth (Taylor)
Spencer.
