    Assumes about 16 or 17 at time of apprenticeship. Origins unknown. There was a Colchester in both Massachusetts and England, and it is unclear which one is referred to in his indenture. This source speculates he might be brother of Thomas Spooner, s/o Ann, of Salem. If so, came from Leyden, Holland. Married (1) Elizabeth Partridge who had 1 child, John, and m. (2) Hannah Pratt who had 8 children. Will dated 8 Mar 1683/84.
