Biography
Mary Jerome, born about 1739 at Wallingford, Connecticut, was a daughter of Zerubbabel Jerome (1715-1783) and his second wife Phoebe (Cook) Jerome (1714-abt.1790). She probably was a namesake for her earlier (1737) born half-sibling who died in infancy.
She married 12 Oct 1758 in Farmington, Hartford County, Connecticut, Joseph Spencer, with whom she had at least 2 children.
According to the only reference source yet available, "...the Spencers moved to central New York state, settled in Onondaga, Onondaga County... Mary and Joseph's names do not appear on the 1830 census ... they most likely died in Onondaga County before the June 1830 census." [1].

The first Mary was the daughter of Zerubbabel's first wife, Sarah Cook. We don't have a birthdate for her, but a reasonable guess might be that Sarah died in childbirth, and her baby died also. Phoebe Cook was Sarah's sister, and I believe she was the mother of all of Zerubbabel's surviving children.
