Biography

She was born about 1646, probably in Plymouth Colony. She married John Spooner by 1668, when her child John was born.^[1] She died before 1680, the birthdate of William Spooner, her husband's child by his 2d wife.

Research Notes

• Birth date is estimated by assuming that she had only one child, John Spooner, who was born in 1668.
• At one time, this wife of John Spooner was identified as Lydia Alden (Alden-89), but there was no evidence to support this. (These comments deal with that Lydia Alden: Not a child of John Alden and his wife Priscilla Mullins Alden. The parents are being removed from this profile. She may be a grandchild of the Aldens.) Alden-89 was merged into this profile, Unknown-445743. Mauger-110 19:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
• After the merge, there was a marriage date remaining (12 Nov 1668, Duxbury), which I have deleted today. I searched americanancestors.org for marriages in 1668 in Duxbury, but I found nothing that referred to John Spooner, the husband. Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 says that John Spooner was married to an unnamed woman by 1668, and then lived in Dartmouth.^[1]Mauger-110 19:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
