Source Spurgeon Family History, p.4 by Dr. Gary Alan Dickey, 22167 Bryant Street, Canoga Park, California 91304 2306 James was held 25 Eebruary 1718 19 at Newgate Prison in London for trial, being transported from Clerkenwell Prison, Middlesex. Though his age is not given in the minutes of his arrest record, he would have been about 22 years old, given his baptism and birth date in the parish register of St. Dunstan s Church, Stepney. About Newgate Prison is written The condition of the prisoners in Newgate was long most deplorable. They were but scantily supplied with the commonest necessities of life. Light scarcely penetrated their dark and lonesome dungeons...all classes and categories of prisoners were herded indiscriminately together men and women, tried and untried, upright but misguided zealots with habitual offenders... The goal was at times so hideously overcrowded that plague and pestilence perpetually ravaged it, and the deadly infection often spread into the neighboring courts of law ... It is further said of Newgate After arrest by parish constable, a suspect would be carted to the hold at Newgate where all prisoners, convicted or awaiting trial, were kept. The room, dark with a floor of stone, was entered by a hatch measuring fifteen by twenty feet ... As soon as prisoners entered the jail, heavy iron manacles were clapped on their hands and feet unless they were prepared to buy easement from the turnkey ... In Newgate and other jails, poor inmates were allowed to beg for food and other necessities from charitably inclined passersby in order to supplement the poor rations allowed them. Upon conviction for his crime, James was transported to the Port of Oxford, Talbot County, Maryland in America aboard the ship Margarett , Captain William Greenwood, received on board May 11, 1719, 44 passengers from Newgate ... James was sold as an indentured servant in September 1719, along with William in August 1719 to Richard Snowdon, The Iron Master , a Baltimore Anne Arundel County landowner and 1733 settler of Old Monocacy....This Richard Snowdon was in the Upper House of the Maryland General Assembly and he appears frequently in the Archives of Maryland . Apparently the Spurgeons moved to Monocacy at the same time as this Richard Snowden for both James and his brother William Spurgeon were listed as taxpayers in Monocacy Hundred of then Prince George s County in 1733. ... They must have been working tobacco farmers for... James SPURGEON and a William SPURGEON were transported from Newgate Prison in London in 1719. They were sold to Richard Snowden in MD. in Sept.1719. The ship was the Margaret and the Captain was William Greenwood. James apparently lived in Prince George County MD. & died in Colerain Twp. Bedford Co. PA. The family of his evidently moved West into Kentucky & records show James Jr. & family moved moved to Adams County Ohio from Kentucky in 1797. The Spurgeon families shown hereare recorded in Adams County Ohio from James Jr. all the way thru until Joseph Earl Spurgeon left for Washington state by railroad but stopped in Scottsbluff Nebraska where he arrived in 1913 and married in 1915 and raised his family.
