Summary

  1. Only child of first marriage, John Spooner. His birth as "about 1646," principally relying on (a) an estimated marriage date (eldest child recorded 2 July 1668, so marriage by 1667) and (b) assuming he was age 21 at the time of that marriage. Closely related--this places William Spooner's first marriage at "by about 1646." That William and Elizabeth were married by that date further supported by court record of 15 October 1646, reporting Mrs. Coombs' child had been left with William Spooner. (Ala, more likely she would have left her child with a married man, rather than a bachelor. May also explain why on 1 August 1648, the widower William again went before the court with notice of the Coombs children still in his care.)
  2. Of the eight children born to William's second marriage, direct evidence is available for only three--Sarah Spooner (birth recorded Plymouth. 1653), Samuel Spooner (birth recorded Plymouth, 1655/6) and Ebenezer Spooner (gravestone, 1666, in about 53 year). The other children's birth were devised largely based on when they married; with sons assumed to have been older at marriage than daughters), Births devised as follows for the remaining five children of this marriage,
  • Hannah Spooner, as married "say by 1679"--her son Josua was old enough to be included in William Spooner's 1684 will, "I giue vnto my daughter, Hannah, & her son, Josua, one cow or the value of a cow." Hannah's birth as "say about 1658"--would allow her to have been 21 at the time of her marriage.
  • William^2 Spooner, as born "say about 1660." He was married "by about 1690" (birth of child, 31 March 1690)
  • Martha Spooner, as born about 1662--placed her marriage at 1683 (birth of child, 5 September 1684), and assumed she was age 21 at marriage.
  • Isaac Spooner, he was married by 1699 (child born, 12 January 1699/1700), so later than his brother William.
  • Mercy Spooner, birth as "say 1668," presumed the youngest daughter as in William's will, her legacy "to be delieured vnto her two years after my decease ..." (If Mercy was born in 1668, Her mother Hannah would have been about 36.)

Research Notes

See Tricia Mitchell, "New England Marriages Prior to 1700 ..." in "Top 10 published resources continued," Vita Brvis blog post of 28 October 2019; web content, AmericanAncestors. for "The bride’s name is given in full when it is known, and in that case, it is usually seen with an actual marriage record. When the bride’s surname is within brackets, it is based on a good deal of confidence based on indirect evidence, such as a will or a deed. When the bride’s name is preceded or followed by a question mark, Torrey was less certain of the bride’s identity. When a bride’s name is given as two underscores, Torrey has found evidence of a wife but nothing about her identity is known."

  • Need--Partly Solved. Where is the evidence that John Spooner's second wife was name Rebecca and/or that she was Rebecca Peckham, and/or that she was Rebecca Peckham, daughter of John Peckham?

This refers to a power of attorney mentioning "John Spooner, and Rebecca Spooner." The power of attorney was not found in a review of James Peckham of Little Compton, Newport, Rhode Island, 1711 estate. See James Peckham 1711 estate, case 19345 (4 pp.), Bristol County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1686-1880; database and digital images, AmericanAncestors, no power of attorney, but other documents in the records indicate this is the same James Peckham, said son of John and Eleanor (Weaver) Peckham.
