Elizabeth, I just received a notice that a response had come in in reply to my query. It was from another person. When I came here to read their reply, I see that you had also replied back in Dec. I apologize for not getting back to you. Genforum never notified me that I had received a reply from you.
Thank you for taking the time to send me this information. I really know nothing about my John Spencer's father, but, suspected he was Abraham. Would love to see the will, etc. that might connect my John to his father, however, my John's will was written in 1788. Your birth date for him is 1761. He states in his will that his children are: John, Anna Maupin, Sally Maupin, Sharp, Rosannah, Mary, Abraham. The abstract that I found of that will when I visited the Lib. of Va. did not mention a son John (so much for relying on abstracts!) I tracted the will down myself or would never have known about that 3rd son John. Back to the birth date of 1761, I don't see how my John could be the same as the one you have listed as mine had so many children. There must be another John in there somewhere!
Anxious to hear from you. Will be out of town next week. Will get back to you when I return.
