FYI If the profile managers have no objections I'm going to add Mary Spear (Speer-441) as a child to Ebenezer in the next couple days. She's already mentioned in his bio. I'm also working on merging, sourcing and cleaning up her profile.

Spear-936 and Spear-237 appear to represent the same person because: same death date, birth date close, both married to Rachel (Deering) Spear and (born) and died in Braintree.
