Other information:

     I found a family group sheet of Thomas Root and Mary Spencer, which lists a daughter Sarah, who marries Israel Dewey, son of Thomas Dewey and Constance Howe. Thomas was married 2nd to Sarah Dumbledore. Another website (now defunct: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/7621/root.html) had Sarah married (1) with Henry Wright, and (2) with Israel Dewey. This source has Mary Spencer as the 2nd wife of Thomas Root, m. 7 Oct 1675, in Westfield, Hampden, Massachusetts, Mary Spencer, b. 18 May 1655, Hartford, Connecticut, (daughter of Thomas Spencer and Sarah Bearding) d. 4 Nov 1690, Westfield, Hampden, Massachusetts, m. (3) 25 Jan 1691/2, Sarah Dumbleton, d.16-Aug-1709, Westfield, Hampden, Massachusetts. Thomas died 16 Aug 1709. This probably comes from Roote History, as that has the same informatin.4,2
