Regarding William Spencer b 12 Jul 1765, m Sarah Hatcher: Title: Belmont, OH; Book P, p. 150 (will)? William's will dated 5/2/1835, probated 6/13/1835 and names the following: Wife, Sarah; Children, Edith, wife of John Smith, Ann, wife of Benjamin Ring, James, Nathan, Samuel, Hannah wife of Joshua Ady, Sarah, wife of William Young, William, Catherine wife of Archibald Vickers, grand daughter, Samitha, Daus: Rebecca and Margaret. Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy: Sarah and William were married contrary to discipline and dismissed from the church 30 Dec 1793 at the Goose Creek MM. *I may have missed a couple of e-mails but the Sarah Hatcher that married William Spencer is the daughter of James Hatcher and Catherine Nichols. William and Ann Van San's children: Sarah: >From Evelyn Avery: Robert Russell's Bible Records give his birth date as 24 Apr 1753, thus indicating Sarah, his mother must be the first child born to William and Ann. That Sarah is married to a Russell is provided for us in her father's will. The will of William Hatcher, written 19 Jan 1780, proved 14 May 1781, leaves plantations to each of his 5 sons (John, James, William, George & Thomas) and an equal share of his estate to his daughter Mary Gibson. To his daughter Sarah Russell, he left 10 shillings with no explanation. His wife, Ann VanSandt, is unmentioned. Sarah does not get married in, nor does she join, the Quaker Church. This is probably why William cut her out of his will. Quakers were very strict, and the church and the family would disown a person for a marriage "contrary to the discipline of the church." At Quaker weddings, all the wedding guests sign the marriage record, Sarah does attend the weddings of her brothers and sister, and several of her nieces and nephews. She is in the company of a Samuel Russell and the children named in his will. Other than these "family marriages," Samuel Russell attends only one other Quaker Wedding. Sarah and Samuel attended the wedding of Sarah's brother William Jr.who leaves a will, and he has no descendants. He divides his property among the children of his deceased brothers and sister, and includes a legacy to "my beloved sister Sarah Russell." She is alive when his will is written 14 Nov 1816. Sarah is paid her legacy among the first few names in the estate acccount record, which began Dec 1816, and was offered to the court 11 Dec 1820.
