Hello
HARRISON
Although, George Hood's Marriage Bondsman Chester Newby can be linked to the Harrisons via his Sister's Marriage and Harrison links to Samuel Nicholson of Rawcliffe, Snaith, in the post above (George Hood purchased the Nicholson Selby properties in 1838), I cannot link these Harrisons further afield to the Harrisons at Scalby, Yorkshire and the Hoods of Scalby (near Scarborough).
CORNER
James Cockin married Frances CORNER at South Cave 1789 and possibly the same James Cockin as George Hood & Sarah Russell's 1815 Wedding witness.
The earlier John Hood of Selby, Master Mariner, had proven links to the Jeffersons, Master Mariners and Sailors of Scarborough.
Dr Jack Binns in the Scarborough News of 2015 claims these seafaring Scarborough Jeffersons came from Lythe not far from Sandsend and Whitby on the coast.
Rather interesting that a Francis Jefferson married Elizabeth CORNER at Lythe in 1809.
Fortunately both survived into the Census living with a John A. Corner born Sandsend and Francis Jefferson was a Sailor, born Mickleby.
However, Frances Corner and Elizabeth Corner cannot be linked, because I'm having great difficulty finding their Births.

SPENCER
What I have found is an unconfirmed claim Hutton R Spencer [possibly of Scarborough and the City of Durham, England, once I have documentary confirmation of his middle name as ROWE at death] with a British Probate listing "Hutton R. Spencer" (index seen), the claim is that Capt Hutton Rowe Spencer died at Steubenville, Jefferson (Jefferson County I believe), Ohio, USA, in 1807 and was the Son of Robert & Catherine Spencer.
HUTTON ROWE TREE
Interesting the Hutton Rowe Tree has some familiar surnames?
Added: The part of the Hutton Rowe tree needed is missing. I can see the Paxton surname and references to St Oswald. Catherine Spencer of Scarborough & Robert Spencer (Memorial st Oswald, Durham) also named a child with Paxton in the name.

SPENCER Will Dispute
A George PEARSON Deputy Lieutenant residing at the City of Durham who later occupied the Wilkinson Family Seat, has written a Will for Robert Spencer of Durham, altering the bequests of £700 to each child of Catherine SPENCER of Scarborough, in one case from £700 to £7
and it has cause a frightful row in the Court of Chancery.
George PEARSON appears to have even written an additional part to Robert Spencer's Will (PCC Will Proved 1794), saying he has the power of appointment and that these were Robert Spencer's wishes. The Court of Chancery didn't agree.
Court of Chancery - seems they concluded in this case the fund be divided equally to her children
Added: Interesting that a Pearson surname was in one of James Hood of Selby children names.
I'm absolutely certain the dispute is linked to the PCC Will of Catherine Spencer of Scarborough (Proved 1782), as the Death ages of the couple match exact and also with their Memorial transcription at Durham St Oswald.

HUTTON CHESTER
Interesting a HUTTON witness at the 1796 Margaret CHESTER & Thomas COCKIN at Hatfield, wedding?
Possibly linked to Thomas CHESTER & Elizabeth HUTTON at Wroot, 1795.
