Notes for William Almy:
William Almey or Almy (Christopher, Thomas, John), of South Kilworth, co. Leicester, England, and of Saugas (Lynn), Mass., Sandwich in the Plymouth Colony, and Portsmouth, R.I., gentleman, only son of his father, born, probably at Dunton-Bassett or South Kilworth, co. Leicester, abt. 1600, died, probably at Portsmouth, R.I., between 28 Feb. 1676/7, when he made his will, and 23 Apr. 1677, when his will was proved. He married at Lutterworth, co. Leicester, by license of 1626, Audrey Barlowe of Lutterworth, who was born about 1602 and was living 28 Feb. 1676/7.
He was executor of his father's will, which he proved 29 Oct. 1624, and was the defendant in a suit in the Court of Requests in 1625 which had been begun against his father. He was in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631, returned later to England, and, with his wife Audrey and two children, Anna (or Annis) and Christopher, embarked again for New England in the Abigail in 1635. After living at Saugas (Lynn), Mass., for a year or two, he became one of the founders of Sandwich in the Plymouth Colony, being one of the "tenn men of Saugust" to whom the Court of Assistants of that Colony, on 3 Apr. 1637, granted "liberty to view a place to sitt downe," with "sufficient lands for three score families." He left Sandwich before 7 Dec. 1641, when a calf belonging to him was attached "to answere the jury vj vj and iij to the Clarke for the charges of a suite he left vnpayd when hee lefte the towne of Sandwich." On 22 June 1642 he sold his dwelling house and all his lands in Sandwich to Edmond Freeman the Younger, and soon afterwards appears as a resident of Portsmouth, R.I., where he received a grant of land on 14 Nov. 1644. He was freeman at Portsmouth in 1655, and was later Juryman and Commissioner.
In his will of 28 Feb. 1676/7 he requests that his body be buried beside his son John, gives to her wife for her lifetime all his estate, and provides that at her death half of the farm next to the land which he gave his son John shall go to his son Christopher, while the other half of the farm, with dwelling house, two orchards, etc., shall go to his son Job. The malt house is not to be divided, but is to be held in equal shares and kept for a malt house every season. To each of his daughters, Anna and Catherine, he gives two parts of his cattle and movables, and to each of his sons, Christopher and Job, one part. To his grandchild, Bartholomew West he leaves £20, to be paid to him when he is twenty-one years of age. He makes his sons Christopher and Job executors.

Notes for John Spencer IV:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~george/index.htm
George Spencer, winger15@adelphia.net descendant, provided all Spencer information.
JOHN SPENCER (IV) (1) was born on 20 Apr 1666. He died before 27 Dec 1743 in West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Source: The Greene's of Rhode Island by Louise Brownell Clarke He was a Cordwainer (leatherworker). He was Deputy for many years between 1699 and 1729; Justice of the Peace, 1704; and Speaker of the House of Deputies, 1712-29. He died in 1743. His will, dated July 2, 1733, proved December 31, 1743, mentions the following legacies: "To son John, homestead farm, Lott 222 tannery, utensils etc; to son William, a farm in East Greenwich; to grandson John, son of son William, Lott 132 E.G.; to grandson John, son of son John, Lott 137 E.G.; to grand-daughter Audrey Spencer, daughter of John, a house lot No. 10; to grand-daughter Audrey Spencer, daughter of William, a house lot No. 9; to sons John and William the rest of personal estate equally". Source: The History of East Greenwich, 1677-1960, by Martha R. McPartland The following is an except of the will of Charles Macarty, b: (?) d: 1682 East Greenwich, which was dated 1682. "Se'dly I make John Spenser Junior my Lawfull Haire unto whome I Give my house and Land or Lands in this towne after my desese and doe mack John Spenser senior father to the afore-said Spenser Gardian to his sonn and to teak cere that my will be parformed. My Beding and wooling close I Give to Susanna Spenser senior: scept one peace of brod cloth that I had to make mee a wascoot I give unto my my haire; My ould mere I Give unto Samuel Bennet and his foule or my youngest mere I give unto Mychell Spenser and the rest of my Chatle Goodes and Catter I give unto John Spenser Senior and all my deapts dowe to me". Entered into this Book of Record this 22nd of March, 1683 or 4 By mee John Spenser Town Clerk Very little is known about Charles McCarthy. Because the Spencers figure so definitly in his will it may be that he was related to them in some way. This theory has been worked on but nothing conclusive has ever been forthcoming. Also of interest is the fact the John Spencer, who as clerk did the writing, spells his own name "Spenser", instead of Spencer as is common today.
Children of Audrey Greene and John Spencer are:

Notes for Elizabeth Almy:
Great Aunt of William Ellery, Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island. She married 2nd **John Leonard.
Notes for Lewis Morris:
In 1670, young Lewis Morris, son of Thomas Morris of Barbados, with the aid of Colonel Lewis Morris, bought a parcel of land in Monmouth County, New Jersey from the Indians for a barrel of cider. He moved onto the land shortly before the Dutch occumpation, whereupon all of the Indians on the property moved back to Crosswicks and Cranberry execpt one "Indian Will," who was allowed to stay and dwell in a wigwam between Tinton Falls and Swimming River. One day, sometime after the Dutch had left, Indian Will, while eating breakfast of suppawn (mush) and milk, was observed using a silver spoon. Mr. Thomas Eaton, of what is now Eatontown, New Jersey, told Indian WIll, his friend, that he would give him a red cloak and a cocked hat if he would tell where he found the spoon. It seems that Indian Will was soon wearing the red cloak and cocked hat and Mr. Eaton suddenly became rich.
Indian Will was also a friend of Derrick Longstreet and one time showed Longstreet some silver money. Longstreet asked Will to give it to him, but Will refused. Will did, however, give Longstreet some yellow money he had found, which the Indian thought worthless. This made Longstreet rich.
