Gerard Spencer1,2
M, b. circa 20 May 1576, d. 1646
Gerard was born in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, England. He was christened there on 20 May 1576 in the church of St. Mary's. He was the son of Michael Spencer and Elizabeth (?) Gerard married Alice Whitbred, daughter of John Whitbred and Eleanor (?), on 10 November 1600 in Upper Gravenhurst, Bedfordshire, England. Gerard departed this life in 1646 in England. It is quite possible the family had moved to London to be near his brother, Richard, who was a prosperous haberdasher.
