Notes for William Spooner:
William Spooner was born in Litchfield county, Conn., where he lived as a farmer until about 1795, when he removed to Vermont, and purchased land near Monkton. Here he settled and lived, during his life, as a farmer. The early years of Mr. Spooner's life were given to his country as a soldier. He was engaged in the battles of White Plains, Trenton and Princeton, and is said to have been in the Bunker Hill engagement.
Some Monkton and Starksboro, Vermont Families, compiled by John Burbank, from Monkton records: In the East Monkton Smith Cem., in a row up the hill and to the left from Hannah's grave, there is a stone, more scratched on than chiseled with the initials "W. S." and "ae 77", nothing more being legible. Identification of this as a Spooner grave is based on speculation that it is William Spooner who died in Feb 1831 according to Baptist history. It is known that William's wife is buried nearby as are his son, Noble and grandson, Gershom (Girson).
In "A Brief History of the Baptist Church in Monkton, Addison County, Vermont" printed in the 1855 Minutes twenty-first anniversary of the Addison County Baptist Association, p. 14, is found this interesting sentence: "In February 1831, the records speak of the sudden death of one of its members, Bro' William Spooner, while visiting a school for religious conversation and prayer. He fell dead while in the school room, aged 78." This is probably the W. S. ae 77 buried in the Smith-Beers Cem.

Notes for William Spooner:
William Spooner was a farmer. He lived on land inherited from his father, in Darmouth. He was a man of industry and of thrifty habits. The membership of himself and wife with the Rochester church is evidence that theirs was a religious household, and by the trust held by him, we have knowledge of the high esteem in which he was held and the confidence reposed in him by his townsmen.
Notes for Alice Blackwell:
There is much confusion over the surname of Alice, wife of William. I have decided to use Blackwell as her maiden name, but it is as likely to have been Black, as referenced in the following sources:

Finding, as early as Oct. 16, 1669, that John Spooner was one of a jury appointed by the Court of Assistants "to lay out an highway, vizt., a county road from Middleboro, Bridgewater, and other places toward Boston," - establishes the fact, that at that date he was a man of consideration, and esteemed by the Court as of sound judgment, - such services were then only confided to men of known worth and intelligence, and usually of mature years.
He further served the Colony as Grand Juror, in 1702; and, his townsmen as Surveyor of Highways, 1686, 1699 and 1700, and was a member of the Town Council 1690. It is recorded that John Spooner was elected, May 18th, 1710, to represent Dartmouth in the General Court, - but on reference to the published list of officers as compiled by Mr. Whittemore, it is not seen that he took his seat as Representative.

He was appointed Surveyor of highways in 1654; he was a member of the Plymouth militia in 1643. William was ordered to pay the debts of his master, Mr. Coombs, and to take care of his children, August 1670 in a will dated 8 March, with inventory taken 14 March. He resided in Plymouth until about 1660, when he moved to Acushnet, Bristol county, Massachusetts, where he died in 1684.
The earliest record that we have relating to William Spooner, is the assignment of articles indenturing him by John Holmes to John Coombs, as is seen in Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. XII, p. 19, as follows:
"Whereas, William Spooner of Colchester, in the County of Essex by this Indenture, bearing date the twenty-seaventh day of March Anno Dmi., 1637, in the thirteenth year of his Magisty's Raigne, hath put himself apprentice with John Holmes, of New Plymouth, in America, gent. from the first day of May next after the date of the said Indenture unto thend terme of six yeares thence ensuing with diuers other couenant both pts to be pformed eich to other by the Indent it doth more plainly appear. Now the said John Holmes with the consent likeinge of the said William Spooner hath the first day of July assigned and set ouer the said William Spooner unto John Coombs of New Plymouth, aforesd gent. for all the residue of his terme vnexpired to serue the sd John Coomes, and the sd John Coomes in then of his said terme shall giue the said William Spooner one comely suit of apparell for holy days and one suit for working days, and twelve bushells of Indian Wheate, and a good seruiceable muskett, bandaliers and sord fitt for service."
It thus appears that William Spooner began life in America as an apprentice to a Mr. John Coombs, a well-to-do citizen of New Plymouth. His age at the time of his indenture is unknown, but it is natural to suppose that he was then in his minority.
William Spooner then, "of Colchester, in the county of Essex, " (England or Massachusetts), arrived in the New Plymouth settlement early in the year 1637. Whence he came, whether with Ann Spooner from Leyden, whether direct from the mother country, or whether - which we think the most probable - from the little embryo town of Colchester, Massachusetts Colony, is not known. Let this much be said, however, that considering his youth, (he probably was not more than sixteen or seventeen years old at the time of his indenture), and considering also the fact that a Mr. Ann Spooner (doubtless from Leyden, Holland) was in Salem in 1637, it is more than probable that william made the journey to America with Ann Spooner and Thomas Spooner, whom we suppose to have been his mother and brother, and that, on their arrivalin this country, the family separated, Ann and Thomas settling tin Salem, and William seeking his fortune first in the little Colchester settlement and subsequently in New Plymouth.
William Spooner's life after his apprenticeship to Mr. Coombs, we have, from the records, a tolerably well connected account. From the various orders of the Court, we conclude that he was a faithful and competent steward, entrusted with the administration of his master's estate and the custody of his children. These were no common marks of confidence, especially amoung the early New England settlers, with whom sturdy self-reliance was one of the first and greatest of virtues.
In the list of August, 1643, William Spooner is mentioned as one "of all the males that are able to beare arms, from xvi years old to 60 years with in the several townships." He was proponded to take up his freedom, June 7, 1653," and was "sworn and admitted June 6, 1654," and at the same time was appointed Surveyor of Highways. He also served on the "Grand Enquest" 1657 and 1666.
He continued to reside in Plymouth until about 1660, when he removed to the new settlement at Acushnet in the Dartmouth purchase. Here he held lands in his own name and an interest in the purchase, which were confirmed to him and to his heirs in their proprietory rights by his will. His lands and the grants made to his sons and grandson, were situated near The-Head-of-the-River, somewhat to the north and east, thence to the south on the east side of the river Acushnet; a small portion of the inheritance of his son, John, was the West or New Bedford side of the Acushnet, and they held land on Sconticut Neck and at Nasquatucket.
It is traditionally claimed, (and this claim seems to be well founded,) that William and his sons built the first mill within Dartmouth bounds, which was located in what is now Acushnet village.
William Spooner's educational advantages in the way of "book learning," etc., were certainly very limited. His will, in common with many of the instruments executed by the early colonists, bears the "mark" of illiteracy.

Notes for John Spooner:
John Spooner was born ca. 1594 in Bucking(ham), England. His father was James Spooner of Colchester, England.
In 1609, John moved to Leiden, Holland, where he took up the trade of ribbonmaker. We know that he was actively employed in various capacities in the textile trades, as evidenced by a record at the Pilgrim Archive in Leiden, that reads as follows:
20-2-1627 Statement of Facts
Parties: John Spooner, ca. 40, merchant, Leyden;
Statement made at the request of Thomas Barret, merchant in Norwich, about payment arrears. In 1625
John Spooner was Barret's agent and in that capacity he has sold a large shipment of English hose to Peter Passavant, merchant in Amsterdam, for an amount of one hundred and forty-eight guilders and fourteen stivers.
Witnesses: Heynderick van Noorduyn, shoemaker, Cornelis Oegstgeest, clerk.
John probably knew Jonathan Brewster (son of William Brewster) quite well, as they shared the same trade and were often partners on various transactions.
On December 24, 1616, "John Spooner, widower of Suzanna Bennet, ribbonmaker, England. dwelling in the house of Douver" married "Ann Peck, spinster, England", daughter of Robert Peck and Prudence Brewster, William's sister. Witnesses were Samuel Lee and Elisabeth Spalding. The marriage certificate is also on file with the Pilgrim Archive. This important genealogical document confirms that John was widowed from Suzanna Bennett, and that he was residing at the Douver House, a local house for bachelors in Leiden (the Douver House still exists today). Ann was born ca. 1598 in Scrooby, England, and had migrated to Amsterdam and then to Leiden with the original Pilgrim contingent lead by her uncle and John Robinson, their minister.
John died in Leiden, Holland on July 6, 1628. His death certificate is on file in the Archive, though it is not available on their website, as it has not yet been translated.
In 1637, Ann and her two sons, Thomas and William, left Leiden on a ship for the new world. Ann first settled in Salem, where William was apprenticed to John Holmes of New Plymouth.
Ann died about 1650 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Notes for Ann Peck:

Elder William BREWSTER, aged about forty-two years, came before the aldermen at Leiden, Holland on 12 June 1609, as guardian of Ann PECK, native of Launde, when they granted to Thomas SIMKINSON, merchant of Hull (he probably was son of John and Mary (SMYTHE) SYMKINSON and half-brother of Elder William BREWSTER), Power of Attorney to receive seven pounds sterling that Ann had left with Rev. William WATKIN, pastor of Clarborough when she left England.
