Colonial Families of the United States of America, Vol. 5, page 34

Spicer

  The Spicer family were originally from Normandy, and three brothers
came to England, as gentlemen volunteers, with William the Conqueror,
A.D. 1066.  John settled in Devonshire, and was the progenitor of the
family that went to America.  In the reign of Edward I, 1273, John Spicer
was Mayor of the city of Exeter, County Devon.  In the reign of Edward III,
John Spicer was at sundry times Mayor of city of Exeter, from 1352-1359.
In 1357 he received private letters from King Edward, with a commission
under the great seal of England, dated 25th of March “to our loving,
the Mayor of our honorable city of Exeter, for tree ships, for the defense
of the realm against the French King.”  In the following year, 1358,
the Black Prince brought with him from France, King John of France, whom
he had taken prisoner, at the Battle of Poitiers.  [The Battle of Poitiers
was a major battle of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.]
They landed at Plymouth, England, and came to Exeter, and were entertained
most bountifully, by John Spicer, Mayor.  In 1620, in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, Nicholas Spicer was Mayor of Exeter, and married Martha Priestly,
and had a son Thomas, bapt. Exeter 22nd October, 1591, who came to America
about 1635, and signed a contract with Nicholas Easton of Newport, Rhode
Island, in 1638.  In 1642 he was Treasurer of Portsmouth, Rhode Island,
and in 1643 removed to Gravesend, Long Island, under the settlement of
Lady Moody.  His son Peter came to New London, Connecticut, in 1666.

  Peter Spicer came to New London, Connecticut, in one the vessels trading
with the Long Island ports.  He bought property in New London in 1666,
and m. in Warwick, Rhode Island, 15th December, 1670, Mary Busecot, dau. Of

Ellen and I were comparing notes, and she has Connecticut SPICERs. Our John
LAKE married Ann SPICER in 1649 at Lady Moody's English colony at Gravesend
on the west end of Long Island in what was then New Amsterdam. Here is
something I found that documents how Ann SPICER's father Thomas SPICER
connects to the Connecticut SPICERs.
