Biography

Orange Spencer, the first son and oldest child of Jonathan and Ruth (Mudge) Spencer was born July 30, 1765 in Richmond, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. He married Sarah Canfield Bostwick, the daughter of Jessie and Betsey (Canfield) Bostwick on December 4, 1787 in Vernon, Oneida County, New York.

Orange and his father are listed as serving in the Revolution in the 3rd Regiment, Tryon County Militia. Orange stated in his pension applications that he was born at Richmond, Mass., that he was living at enlistment in the winter of 1778-79 in Warrensbush, "now called Florida," Montgomery County, New York; and that he moved from there about 1784 to Unadilla. Orange drew his war pension beginning in 1831 from the Pension office in Pennsylvania.

After the Revolutionary War, Orange migrated with his father and brothers to Unadilla, New York, where his father remained and died. Orange and his three full brothers and nephew Lyman migrated on the Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lyman settled there permanently and started a very large clan of Spencers. Orange, stayed briefly, but became a noted frontier preacher and traveled widely through out western Pennsylvania and New York. He died in North East, Erie County, Pennsylvania and is buried at the Quincy Rural Cemetery in Ripley, Chautuaqua County, New York.
