The line from Henry Spencer to Gerard Spencer is excerpted from the Spencer-Huxley WWW Pages, which in turn credits Karen Spencer's 1981 work, A Study of Spencers and a series of articles beginning in January 1983 by Flora Spencer Clark in le Despencer, Newsletter of the Spencer Family Association.
RootsWeb also has its own section containing extracts from Mr. Boyer's work.
