Biography
Abraham Spooner is known only from the Find a Grave biography of his daughter Sarah Spooner Giles (#66783383), which identifies her as "Daughter of Abraham Spooner." No dates, wife's name, occupation, or specific location in England have been identified.
If Sarah was born on April 14, 1831, Abraham was likely born between approximately 1800 and 1810, though this is speculative. It is unknown whether Abraham emigrated to the United States with his daughter or remained in England.
Research Gaps
- No independent source confirms Abraham Spooner's existence beyond the single FaG bio claim.
- English parish records (baptism of Sarah Spooner, ~Apr 1831, father Abraham) would be the key to unlocking this line. Available through Ancestry, FindMyPast, or FamilySearch (requires login).
- 1841 English census (Sarah age ~10 in Abraham's household) would provide wife's name, other children, ages, occupation, and parish.
- 1851 English census (if Abraham was still alive) could provide further details.
- The Spooner surname is concentrated in Warwickshire/Staffordshire (Birmingham area), but also found across England. Without a county, parish-level searches are impractical.
