Biography

Robert was born about 1635. He passed away in 1679. [1]

Note: This unsourced profile was detached as husband of Elizabeth (Unknown) White Jordan. That profile is now attached to her two documented husbands. This profile will be reattached or merged into the proper place in the family once determined. Using primary source documentation will help determine who this profile is meant to represent. There is considerable misinformation online and published regarding the Corker, Jordan and related families of these early generations.

Two Robert Spencers are being mixed and matched here. The one with a source for his baptism in Cople in 1635 (Spencer-10278 ) shows him as being married to Jane Browne, and dying on 10 Apr 1686 in Maryland. This doesn't work at all for Jane Browne who is supposed to have remarried in 1679. So either his wife wasn't Jane Browne or else his very precise death date is wrong.

The other profile (this one) shows a birth c 1630 with different parents and death in 1679. This one works for Jane Browne who it is said remarried to Thomas Jordan in 1679 and had two children before his death in 1685. This one looks right.

Unless there is any evidence, Jane needs detaching from Robert born Cople and from their two children. Then Jane will only have one husband named Robert Spencer!
