    "Thomas Spencer fifth child of Gerrard and Hannah (_____) Spencer, was born in Lynn, Mass., probably about 1650. He removed with his parents to Haddam, and may have settled in Saybrook before 1679, as his second child was born there in that year. He was voted an inhabitant Dec. 8, 1687, and resided in that part of the town known as Pochaug, now Westbrook Conn. He was chosen Lister, July 29, 1692, and probably held other positions in the town. His inventory, March 1699-1700 was appraised at £302.14.11, a large sum for those days. He married Elizabeth Bates, daughter of James Bates (2) of Dorchester, Mass., and Anne, daughter of Henry Withington of Dorchester, son of James Bates(1), of Dorchester, born at Lydd, Kent, England, 1582; came to Dorchester 1635; married Alice _____."
