• Birth	CAL 1830	England
  Gender	Male
  Person ID	I106779	Brainard (Brainerd) / Foster / Fish
  Last Modified	28 Apr 2005 00:00:00
  Family	Maria POE, b. 28 Apr 1842, Harrisville, Medina, Ohio
  Married	EST 1859	Concord Twp., Jefferson Co., Wisconsin
  Notes	One record indicated Maria and Richard married 17 Apr 1854, but marriage at 12 is very unlikely. Maria is married at age 18 (1860 census) and no children are on the census, so I will use Est 1859 as the marriage date. Mayerson Spence and Maria Poe were married in Concord, Jefferson Co., WI. Jefferson Marriage Records, Vol. D, p 6 or 96.

• Notes

  Residence 1859: Concord Twp, Jefferson Co., Wisconsin 1860 census Concord, Jefferson, Wisconsin, p 71: Richard Spence, 30, M, farmer, bir- england Maria, 18, F, bir-ohio (note: on the Jefferson Co 1860 census, there are also a 58 year old Richard Spense and a 25 year old John H. Spense (wife Mary bir Wales, dau Jane), both Richard & John born in England so they are likely Richard's brother John and their father, Richard. on the 1870 census, Father Richard is still there but son John H is missing and the head of household is Mary Spense with her 4 children (1st was Jane, and Mary was born in England) so it appears John H either died or was away at the time of the census; also the Richard & Maria family is gone.
