"From an overall view, we believe that the study by Vicar John Holding (1903) and the Phillips Manuscript presented in his report offer the most credible evidence for the earliest generations beginning with Thomas Spencer of Badby, Northants. The final master chart prepared by Holding (pages 50-51) suggests that Thomas of Eaton Socon (living 1433) may have been the ancestors of the Spencers of Eaton Socon. Based on this assumption, we have included Henry of Badby and Thomas of Badby as the two preceding generations. S2
