I believe his father was Thomas Fenwick, son of Walter and Magdalena(Hunt) Fenwick. Thomas was born Between 1632/35 at Atwick, Yorkshire andcame to Maryland on the Nightingale out of Hull, England, in 1669. Helived in Somerset County, Maryland, and died in 1708 in Sussex County,Delaware.

Co., Balt., 1999, p. 192.spouse: ???, Eleanor (*1681 - 1737)

From Patricia Doster, Prodigy WKPF87A comes "1st son (of Thomas) J ohn
Spalding who was the third husband of Priscilla Field."
See SPARKS QUARTERLY, pg 2739 for statement that Mary Fielder was aspouse: Sparks, William (1761 - 1848)
daughter of William Fielder.
.spouse: Sparks, John Jr. (~1794 - ~1865)
!NOTES:
spouse: Shirroas, Elspet (~1829 - )
Info from Derek Grey: Note grandson John Findlay mentioned in 1851Census. Was this a child to Elspet by John Findlay whom she latermarried? Difficult to decide age from census form.
The fact that Agnes does not appear in the 1851 census suggests she diedbetween 1836 (Jane's birth) and 1851. I can find no record of herdeath.
