Footnote, page 139 at the conclusion of the chapter on William Spencer and Agnes Harris: "Subsequent to the completion of this chapter on William Spencer and Agnes Harris, an important entry was found in the IGI (Microfiche A0034) that seems to provide definite proof that William and Agnes Harris were married in Stotfold, Beds, in 1633. The actual entries were listed as his marriage to Agnes Pratt and also to Agnes Heane or Hearn. We believe that the entry of Agnes Pratt perhaps was as a witness and that the name of Heane or Hearn were misspellings of Harris. Possibly the misspellings also may be the result of the misreading of the old English script or of a faded manuscript. Douglas Richardson (TAG, 1988) was the first to identify the name of Agnes Harris as the wife of William Spencer, but the confirmation of place and date of marriage is especially interesting." S3
