Hello all again My research involves Major/Colonel John SPURR (1749-1822) who is interred at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence. Some of you were very kind to supply information regarding John over the past few weeks. I am very grateful. On the advice of some, I contacted the Providence City Register to see if there was a death certificate for him. I just received word today that there isn't. Now I need your advice on the below: In another batch of information that was sent to me (The Arnold Collection) there is reference in Volume 20 page 585 about an obit that is mentioned on page 585. I suspect the obit is from either the Providence Phenix, the Providence Journal, the Providence Gazette, and/or the Providence Patriot. The wording on page 585 says "See obituary Nov.5, 1822" but it doesn't indicate which paper. Might any of you have any suggestions as to how I might see what this obit has to say? Thanks again Richard Hardwick (from California). John SPURR is a 1st cousin.
