There is disagreement about the parentage of Grace Spencer. There were two Grace Spencers born in the same generation. One Grace, b. 27 July 1674 in East Haddam, Ct., was the daughter of Samuel Spencer and Hannah Willey. This is the Grace named by Nathaniel Goodwin in "Genealogical Notes, First Settlers of Connecticutt and Massachusetts" (1982) as the wife of John Day. (Also in Virkus' "The Compendium of American Genealogy" and the Elmer I. Shepard Collection) However, TAG 27: 89 lists the Grace, b. 24 Sept. 1676 in Middletown, Middlesex, CT, the daughter of John Spencer and Rebecca Hayward/Howard as the wife of John Day and suggests that Grace, dau. of Samuel died young as she was not mentioned in her father's will. It is possible that children not mentioned in a parent's will received their settlement before the will was written. [Since this could be the case with Samuel Spencer, one cannot rule Samuel out as the father of the wife of John Day] John Spencer and Rebecca Hayward/Howard have been the accepted parents of Grace Spencer by the Spencer Family Association. However, since it was called to their attention that there were 3 sources that named Samuel & Hannah (Willey) Spencer as her parents, they are doing further research.
