Beneficiaries:
my beloved wife Vashti Spencer
my three daughters:
Marietta, wife of Herman Sprague
Jane Celestia , wife of Franklin A. Crouter
Malinda, wife of Gilbert Brown
my son George Spencer
Research Note
There appears to be two Brainard Spencers intertwined. I noticed on FindAGrave as Alvan and Asenath were listed as half siblings. Two graves and nearly concurrent dates seem to rule out one man with two wives.
