Note:
Notes from Bryan L. Spicer: We assume Peter Spicer was born in Virginia because "it is known" that is where he was prior to settling in Connecticut where he subsequently married Mary Busecot. However, the way the Spicer's moved around this country it is also possible that Edward Spicer left Virginia, married and returned later with his family, or Peter returned there on his own. It is a
lso possible that there are no records simply because the family didn't live in a populated area, were married in their homes, had their children there and lived away from towns or cities where record keeping was practiced.

Peter married Mary M. BUSECOT on 15 Dec 1670 in Warwick, Kent, RI. Mary (daughter of Unknown BUSECOT) was born in 1648 in Warwick, Kent, RI; died on 13 Sep 1714 in New London, New London, CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes from Bryan L. Spicer: Gregory Spicer was an indentured servant to Capt. Samuel Mathews, Capt. Mathews owned the Denbigh Plantation that was located near "James Cittie"
I have seen the Spicer's referenced in Hotten's Original List & Niell's and in Virginia Carolorum, and found some other references to Spicer's in Virginia in later years but not in Gregory or Edward Spicer's time, other than the mention of Gregory as arriving in Virginia in 1618. I found this reference of Gregory in the Virginia Muster Rolls of 1623/24. One reason that there isn't any other references of Gregory Spicer is because he was an indentured servant on the Mathew's Plantation. Although European, and not a man of color, he was non the less considered property and would not have been counted in most census of his the time. The only reason he appears in the Muster Roll (census) of 1623/24 is because the Indians we
nt on a rampage and killed so many English citizens and their servants & slaves that the King of England demanded an actual head count of all towns and plantations, including servants and slaves. If it weren't for this, Gregory Spicer most likely would never have been included in a census as anything other than an un-named indentured servant (considered property.)
Gregory Spicer's status as an indentured servant leads some of his descendants to speculate that he married a servant as well. This may be the reason that there are no records of his marriage and children's births. These records would have been part of the Mathews Plantation records as opposed to public ones. The problem is that most of these types of records were lost or destroyed especially during the Civil War and subsequent Reconstruction period. If in fact Gregory Spicer's son Edward was born on the Mathew's Plantation it would again explain the lack of records.

Gregory married Mary UNKNOWN about 1623 in VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
