Hello I have seen the postings on John Spencer. I was reading the CT Nutmegger, volume 24, page 438 regarding Lion Gardiner and the Pequot Indians/War 1636/7 " From the fall of 1636 to when the Connecticut General Court ordered war against the Pequots in May of 1637, Gardiner wrote that he had already lost eight men from Indian attack. Along with Gardiner, Thomas Hurlbut and John Spencer were wounded by arrows. It is said that John Spencer returned to England in 1637 and died shortly thereafter." Can anyone tell me if this John Spencer is the brother of Jared Spencer? Tracy
