Cites Rhode Island Cemeteries Database Index (birth, death, burial); Vital Record of Rhode Island 1636-1850 (marriage). Norma writes: "In his will John Dexter names his grandson Thomas Spear 'the reputed son of Thomas Spear dec.' John also names his son-in-law Jonathan Spear, presumably the husband of his daughter Mary (Dexter) Spear. Interesting--did Mary marry Jonathan after having a child by Thomas?" Gives surname Spear.
