Another completely separate thing I'll just mention is that I happen to have a picture of a Quaker Marriage Certificate in Newport, Rhode
Island in 1709. A few years ago, I was visiting my elderly aunt in Maryland (she still lives in my birthplace) and her best friend (no family
connection with us) owns the certificate. Her friend asked if I could find out how she came to own the certificate. I found her ancestral line
that explains her connection but what interested me with your note is that the certificate has a lot of signatures on it of the 'great and
good' in Newport at the time. Marge had the Philadelphia Museum seal the certificate I think in the 1980s or so and on the back it says:

I quickly checked for any Spicers amongst the signatories but alas I didn't find any. But I attach the certificate (sorry, not a great copy
since it's behind glass) and a close-up of the signatures in case by chance you spot any lingering family connections from the Newport area.
