Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Ellen Spencer Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) died Bef 1754.

    Notes:

    Craig Rice shows two wives for Ezekiel: Mary Spencer and Ellen Spencer, with Ellen being the mother of Nicholas, as shown in Arnold's "Vital Record of RI." However, I am wondering if they are sisters, both daughters of William Spencer, or if they are one and the same -- Mary Ellen Spencer. Need to check on this. Ezekiel's will, dated 5 April 1754, mentions his wife Mary and his father-in-law William Spencer.

    Ellen — Ezekiel Whitford. Ezekiel (son of Nicholas WHITFORD and Mary CARR) was born 1713, North Kingstown, RI; died Apr 1754, West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Arnold's transcriptions of East Greenwich marriages shows a Nicholas Whitford marrying Ruth Shippee, 29 Sept 1764. Is this the one? Probably. He likely married second to Elizabeth Potter. Compare their wills. It is unclear whether they each had a daughter Elizabeth, or whether there was only one. His will mentions his wife Elizabeth; sons Ezekiel, Nicholas, & John; and daughters Eleanor Rice, Hannah blanchard, Mary Weaver, Ruth Harrington, Elizabeth Whitford, Sally Greene, & Olive Whitford.
