    "Nathaniel3 Spencer … married second, at Haddam, 27 Mar. 1744 Elizabeth Lee, daughter of Joseph and Lois (Plumb [Pond]) Lee. … His second marriage has usually been assigned erroneously as a first marriage of his son, Nathaniel, Jr. He conveyed in 1751 to his 'eldest son' Nathaniel and 'second son' Elisha. In 1756 his son Nathaniel was of New Haven, Conn., when he sold the Haddam land received from his father, and he bought land in New Haven in 1756 and was 'of New Haven' in another deed here in 1760. Yet during the period 1756 to 176l, Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Lee) Spencer were still having children recorded at the Haddam church. The first wife of Nathaniel, Sr., had died two years before the marriage to Elizabeth Lee, and that marriage record does not describe him as 'Jr.' Nathaniel, Sr., was the only man of that name living in Haddam from 1756 to 176l, after his son's proved removal to New Haven. Hence he is called simply 'Nathaniel' in church and land records of that period, without the designation of 'Sr.'"
