Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis. Vol. III. Neal-Wright, pg 757 & 758 The Ancestry of Annis Spear; by Walter Goodwin Davis; print, Baltimore, MD: Spear, of Braintree. vi. Joseph. b. May 14, 1701; m. in Hull Dec. 12, 1720, Mary Collier who was still Mary Spear in 1849, but possibly m., secondly, Richards Stubbs of Hull; d. of Small-pox on Rainsford Island in Hull on May 22, 1738. He was a mariner. In 1733 he bought a house and half acre of land in Hull from Joseph Chamberlain, mortgaging it to William Wheeler, Jr., of Boston. His insolvent estate was administered by John Doane, Esq., of Hull, who was appointed May 30, 1738. *In his account there is an item "Transporting the doctor to & from Spectacle Island," and "the Widow... & 8 Children the Youngest being born since her Husbands Death" are mentioned.

3. David, b. in 1726, m. (1) int. at Boston Jan. 25, 1749. Elizabeth Oliver of Annapolis, N.B., who d. April 3, 1754; m. (2) int. at Boston Feb. 24, 1755 Sarah Stoddard who d. Jan. 17, 1791, aged 58; m. (3) in Boston May 2, 1791, Mary (Hammett) Holland, who d. June 17, 1799, aged 56; m. (4) in Boston July 17, 1800, Sarah Loring who d. March 12, 1828; he d. July 8, 1803, aged 77.
4. Nathan b. May 29, 1728; m. at King's Chapel, Boston Dec. 18, 1748, Grace Willis; who d. March 1792, aged 69; d. in Boston Jan. 1796, aged 67.
5. Elizabeth, b. Oct. 27, 1731; m. [14 Dec 1749] [Henry] Ewing.
6. Paul, b. June 30, 1733; m. in Roxbury Aug. 25, 1756; Clemence Weld; who d. Sept. 1799, aged 63; d. in Boston Oct. 1792, aged 59.

8. Mary, b. June 1, 1738; m. (1) int. in Boston Nov. 8, 1759, John Bray; m. (2) James Loring of Hull.
*This hospital was at Spectacle Island and was removed to Rainsford Island in 1737. There was issue with an Indian [Native American] burial ground at Spectacle and all burials discontinued at Spectacle Island, so in 1738 the burial absolutely had to be at Rainsford. The family prob did have to go to Spectacle Island where lodging may not have been set up at Rainsford, but he was interred at Rainsford.
Note: I had requested in the past that Rainsford Island be added to the drop-down list at Find A Grave, and was told no, he couldn't add every single town. Towns that don't exist are on the drop-down list, but not valid places. So just know he died at Rainsford Island, which was, and still is considered Suffolk County. I'm not so sure of the burial for "James Speare, Sr", the birth date is correct, but his name and death date are not; and there was no research on the burial as well, but I had entered Joseph Spear when I created the profile for Rainsford Island and must have gotten deleted for the incorrect information given on the other profile.
