This isn't concrete proof, I know. But it might lend some credence to the claim of Susannah Spencer being the wife of Bibby Bush. She later married Stephen Neal.

Thank you Carol for posting all of this on VA Genweb!
By the way, there was another Susannah Spencer, daughter of Thomas and Ann Spencer who was baptized 11/3/1686 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA/ She died the next day! maybe these were ancestors of the Spencers in Halifax County?
Please note the Catherine Neal Powell named above was also named in previous post. And......That Thomas Rowland had ason named JOhn Sharp Rowland at whose home Rev. THomas Bomar died!
The Rowland family were also in St. Peter and Paul's Parishes of New Kent and Hanover Counties.
