While Spencer Sr.'s family was in Surry Co. NC, a William Breeding was charged with high treason and ordered sent to Salisbury Superior Court for trial; Wharton Nunn was bondsman for William in the astronomical sum of 50,000£, however no further mention of the case has been found. (16 Aug. 1780 Surry Co. NC Court Minutes). This has lead some to the conclusion that William was a son of Spencer Sr., but this is unknown.1
