Robert Spencer

   Ancestral File Number: 92J0-GH.

  General Notes:

During the early years of the fifteenth century, a Smyth/e daughter was born. Of unknown first name, she is noted as "Inconnu/e de Smythe", born in 1411 at Bedford. The family source (Nelson family) states that she married Sir Robert Spencer, son of Edmund de Beaufort Plantagenet and Eleanor de Beauchamp. Sir Robert Spencer was born in about 1435 in Spencercombe, Devon, England and died in 1502-1510 in Spencercombe, Devon, England.

This is a little at variance with this lineage, to be found via the LDS IGI archives: William de Spencer > John > Nicholas > Thomas de Spencer who had a son, Henry Spencer, born at Badley, Northants. Henry Spencer married (about 1417) Isabel Lincoln, daughter of Henry Lincoln. The son of this marriage was Thomas Spencer (b. about 1420) whose son was Robert Spencer. Robert Spencer, born at Colmworth married (about 1431) unknown Smyth who was born in about 1410 at Bedford. Robert Spencer died in about 1477. A later generation Robert Spencer married an unknown Smythe in 1534 at St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
