[48292] Find A Grave memorial 51996500 offers: "Samuel and Mary Ella, after being married by Rev. L.S. Tripp on New Years Day 1870, lived for nineteen years at Billing's Pond. At first in a very old Cape Cod house, later in a cottage type of house with an ell. This house was built by Samuel and his father as they were carpenters and cabinet makers. Samuel went to sea as a young man and was in the Navy during most of the Civil War. One of the ships he was on was the monitor 'Monadnock'. After living in Blue Hill, where their three children were born, they sold that place and went to East Surry living in Mary's father's home until Samuel died on December 9, 1890."
[30177] The 1850 federal census of Perry, Jefferson Co., PA lists Mary J., age 9, in the household of Catherine Hice, age 40, a widow. The unverified Burkhouse Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2013 states Mary Jane is daughter of Robert Hice (b. in 1786 in Indiana Co., PA, d. 1846 in Jefferson Co., PA) and Catherine Gilhousen (b. in Feb 1810, d. 14 March 1896 in Jefferson Co., PA).

The Chadbourne Family Association, at http://develop.nmdg.com/virtualhosts/communities/chadbourne/2ndgen.html in 2006, offers: "A Thomas Spencer was baptized 28 Mar 1597, son of William at Eastwick, Herefordshire, England (LND, 651-2). The baptism in 1603 of a Thomas Spencer, son of Thomas Spencer, has been noted in the parish registers of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. Further research is required to determine whether this could be the Maine settler. No marriage record has been found.
Thomas arrived at Piscataqua in July 1630 on the barque Warwick (TMS), returned to England in 1633, and returned to the colonies on the Pied Cow in 1634. In his 1904 work, Emery was probably mistaken when he said Spencer was from Winchcombe, Gloucester, England. Emery went on to say erroneously that this was also the English home of the Chadbournes. By the 1950s, it was known that this was untrue and that the Chadbournes came from Tamworth (Parish records). More may be learned about Thomas Spencer's arrival in Maine in MPC IV:172-4 and under #8 Humphrey Spencer.
Thomas was a planter, lumberman, and tavernkeeper. Pope's Pioneers of Maine & New Hampshire says that Thomas was a proprietor of Cambridge MA in 1633, a freeman in 1634 who removed to Kittery. Patience and Thomas lived first at Strawbery Bank (Portsmouth), then on 6 Mar 1636/7 were called residents of 'Piscataqua' (Kittery Point), and finally of Newichawannock (S Berwick). Dispute over Thomas' title to land in S Berwick (where William Chadbourne gave them a house) is described under their son Humphrey #8. They were of Saco in 1654 (Holmes, Dictionary of New England Families) and Patience was (erroneously) called a widow of Saco in 1662 (Savage, Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England). In 1682 Patience was probably of Berwick as Thomas died there in 1681 and she in 1683.
Thomas was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers in 1659 (LND, 652). Evidence that Thomas and Patience may have been Quakers is seen in the courts 7 July 1663 when they were presented for 'neglecting to come to the publique meeteing on the Lords day to heare the word preached for about the space of 3 Moenths' (MPC II:139). They were presented again for the same offense on 6 July 1675 (ibid, II:306). In a long list of "those persons yt entertayned the Quakers, with the answers given in by them respectively" we find: 'That Thomas Spencer pay as a fine to ye country for his entertayning the Quakers the somme of five pounds, & be disfranchised' (The Records of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Vol 4, part 1, p 407). Edward Wharton piloted a vessel that carried a group of Quakers up the coast, and seven people were fined varying sums and/or disenfranchised (lost the right to vote) by the Massachusetts Bay government, the only entity which could disenfranchise a freeman. Thomas Spencer obviously answered their questions in sympathy with the Quakers, defied the government, and was cast out as a result. Because we don't have copies of his answers to the Court's questions, we don't know how steadfastly he supported the Quakers, but he clearly satisfied the Court that he was in sympathy with them or they would not have taken action against him. They did not take action against James Rawlings, for instance, whom they found to be 'more innocent and ingenious then the rest.'"
