• Notes

  [Spicer Family File.FTW] William Spicer was born in New London, CT. His date of death is not known but in 1770 he is mentioned in a deed as "late of Groton deceased" (this may have been his son). He was an accepted inhabitant of Groton in 1712 and had forty acres of land laid out to him that year, "to accomodate him," as his land was so rough. Dec 25, 1719, he sold six acres of land to Joseph Staples of Groton for four pounds and sixteen shillings. Feb 22, 1720-1, he sold to John Williams the eight acres of land in Norwich which he inherited from his father-in-law Robert Roath. Jul 13, 1726, he sold for five pounds and nineteen shillings eight and one-half acres of land, part of the farm where he dwelt butting south on land of Christopher Avery; witnesses, Thomas Chipman and Joseph Rose. Feb 28, 1729-30 he sold to Christopher Avery the forty acres laid out to him by the town with buildings, etc., thereon (mortgage), which he redeemed Mar 22, 1730; witnesses, Ebenezer Punderson and James Morgan. Jan 9, 1732-3, he sold all right and title to the common or undivided lands to Christopher Avery. Jan 24, 1735-6, for the sum of one hundred and thirty pounds he sold land, orcharding, and appurtenances with house thereon to Ebenezer Punderson; wife Ann Spicer gives up all right of dower in said land, signed William (W his mark) Spicer. Nothing further is known of him or his descendants; a William Spicer signed the will of Robert Geer, Aug 30, 1742, who may have been of this family.
