Biography
Birth
1632 Kent, England[1]
Anne Spicer could not have been born at Gravesend, it was established in 1643.[2]
Her father was still in England in 1632, and yet to marry his second wife with whom he emigrated to North America. It seems much more likely that Ann was born near Barfreston (where Thomas was from) or Sandwich (where his marriage to Ann's mother took place in 1626), both in Kent, England.
They emigrated first to Newport, Rhode Island by 1638. They were not in New Netherlands until 1643. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Spicer-46
No baptism for Ann has yet been located, but Thomas Spicer left her children money in his will,[3] and one of Ann's daughters was named Michal, the name of Spicer's second wife.
Marriage and Family
Ann married John Lake about 1649 in Gravesend, New York.
An unverified source dates the marriage to Feb 1649 in Gravesend, Long Island, NY. [4]
On 4 August 1696, Ann (or Anna) Lake signed her name discharging a debt due by her son-in-law Nicholas Stillwell, calling herself a widow.[5]
- "Know All men by these presents, That I Ann Lake Living att Graves end in King's County on ye Island Nassaw in the Province of New Yorcke being the widow and Relicks of John Lake Deceased, I Doe hereby this present writing absoluetly owne and Aknowledge to be fully satisfied by my son in Law Nicles stilwell Therefore I Doe hereby this presents Absolutly Acquit & Discharge ye above said Nicles Stillwill of all Debt Dues and Demands, Either by Broocks bills or bainds, hyre of lands or whatsoever from the beginning of the world till this Day. given under my hand and seale this 4th day of August : 1696.

Ann Spicer was probably born in England as the biography states. Gravesend was not founded until 1643. If she was born in 1632 it was in England. I suggest her birth place be changed.

Spicer-144 and Spicer-53 appear to represent the same person because: same name, dates, parents, husband

Hello, I'm going to remove the Watkins husband and all of the Brazier children as they belong to her sister Susanna. I see Henry Brazier was already removed as a husband but she still has the children.

Spicer-53 and Spicer-613 are not ready to be merged because: I am not certain they are the same - I need some time to go thru my records as I feel they may be a generation missing (25 plus years).
