Hi Gail... Here's what I found - 2 William Spencers in New Haven Co. Spencer, William CT New Haven Co. Waterbury 1850 roll 45 page 13 Single male, a 23 year old Button Maker born in CT Living in the household of Henry Tomlinson Dwelling 146, family 185 There is another family unit living in this dwelling. It looks like Norton. This is in the business/factory district, I would presume, because there are stone cutters, more button makers, bakers, etc. on the same page. The adjacent dwelling also has several families. ------------------ Spencer, Willaim (typo in the index) CT New Haven Co. Guilford 1850 roll 45 page 113 Dwelling 168, family 187 Head of household, Age 76, property valued at $6000 born in CT Others: Samuel E. Stone, 37, male - no occupation listed, born in CT Abigail E. Stone, 36, female, born in CT Elizabeth R. Stone, 10, female, born in CT, not listed as having attended school during the year. H. Ann stone, 29, female, born in CT Hope one of these is your guy.. If not, give me another county to check, there are at least a dozen William Spencers in the state.. ;0)) Pat -------------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [CTNEWHAV] Re: Barbour Collection Volunteer..
