From The Indian Captivity Of O.M. Spencer:
"My father [Oliver Marlborough Spencer, Sr.] had descended from one of the first families who left England on account of the persecutions for religious opinions, in the reign of the second Charles, to seek in the unbroken wilds of New England an asylum from oppression...".
