Many of the presidential lines listed in these pages are derived from:

Ancestors of American Presidents, a 456-page book
 compiled by Gary Boyd Roberts, is available from the publisher, 
Carl Boyer, 3rd, 

$37.50 postpaid*
 *(California residents must add sales tax).

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.
