S437 SPENCER family - GAMMONS Title: Family Trees, Twigs, Chips genealogy column, by George MILLER, 2-Feb-1974 Author: Madison Courier Publication: microfilm, IN State Library, Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN Text: 2-2-74 - 15 - SPENCER, DAVID, SKEEN, MINOR, REED, MOSELY, MORRIS, PETERS, TAYLOR, RALSTON, DALGLISH, STEELE, HERRING - Harriett E. GAMMONS, 1940 Cragmont St., Madison, IN 47250, writes that she is interested in the SPENCER Family Tree and its related branches and offers the following for those others who may be interested. This family, SPENCER in the Jefferson Co. area, stem from Charles R. SPENCER who came to the county in 1815 and made his home in the wilds of what is now Shelby Township. The SPENCERs trace their family tree far back. They are of Irsih stock. In 1666 the three brothers were officers under CROMWELL. On the ascension of Charles the Second they were arrested and condemmed to be beheaded but managed to escape to this country. One settled in NY, one in MA and one in MD. The later is the progenitor of the Jefferson Co., IN stock. Charles SPENCER, the father of Charles R., was born in Campbell Co., VA, some time near the middle of the 18th century. When a young man he married a Welch girl, Judith DAVID. They had 11 children: David, b. 4-Jul-1773; Elizabeth, Moses, Benjamin, Polly, Judith, Charles R., Thomas, Abasolam, Nancy, and William, the latter b. on 6-Apr-1795. In 1795 they moved west to Jessamine Co., KY, where the father died in 1812. Three sons, Charles R., Thomas and Abasolam (or Absolam) came to IN Territory. Charles R. came in 1815, the other two a few years later. Thomas later moved to MO but came back and died near Cross Plains, Ripley Co., IN. His children went west except one who went to Jennings Co., IN. Absolam went to IA where he died. Charles R., father of the SPENCER family well-known in Jefferson Co., married a Miss Eleanor SKEEN in KY before coming to IN. In 1815 they settled and broke ground for a farm. Christmas day of that year their cabin burned to the ground. Mrs. SPENCER's brother who lived with them and they were all compelled to camp out until a new cabin could be built. Before coming to IN two sons were born: Charles and William. Born in IN were Jonathon (?), Milton and Martha. On 20-Feb-1826, Mrs. SPENCER died. In 1827 Mr. SPENCER married Eleanor MINOR of North Madison, IN. To them was born one son, Anderson, who later went to Costa Rica, Central America. Eleanor Minor SPENCER died 25-Apr-1828. Mr. SPENCER needing a wife and mother for the children married Miss Fanny REED of Switzerland Co., IN. Their children were Benjamin, Simpson, Mary J., Thomas A., Charles, Reed [incorrect, child was Charles R.] and Mary F. William, the second son born to Charles and Eleanor S., had the following descendents: David I., living on a farm near Hicks; William W., an attorney in Indianapolis, John A., a druggist at Versailles, IN; Sarah, who married John PETERS of Shelby Twp.; and Eleanor, wife of Ed MATTHEWS of near Nebraska, IN. Jonathon, the third son, had the following children: Charles N., of Indinapolis; Sam and George, Jennings Co. and Mrs. KASSON, Howard Co., KS. Martha the fifth child had two children: Thomas B. REED, Vernon, IN and Mrs. Sarah MOSELY, KS. Benjamin of the third wife had children: Lizzie and Usurla. Simpson of the third wife fathered: John, Nellie, Ulysus, Switzerland Co. Thomas A. [had] Alice, Adolphus and Alvin of Jefferson Co. Charles REED had two children: Stella who married Thomas MORRIS and Ursula who married a PETERS. Mary F. two, Marcus TAYLOR and Flora to Ed RALSTON. Charles Russell, second son of William married Agnes Melissia DALGLISH, two daughters, Ellea Maude and Harriet Agnes. Maude married Sam STEELE, no children; Harried married Charles David HERRING, children: Edwin, Raymond, Horace, Agnes, Harold, Louis, Harriet and Eleanor. Mrs. GAMMONS says her mother, Mrs. Harried A. HERRING, Route 1, Canaan, IN does not write much anymore but would welcom correspondents of the SPECER line and would help all she can to help them build their family trees. Mrs. HERRING is now 87. She adds that her mother still can remember many of the stories told to her by her own great-grandfather who settled Shelby Twp., in 1815; she owns the SKEEN place, one of the early homsteads. Harold JONES, Canaan mail carrier, owns the original SPENCER farm, however, on Scotch Ridge. (Some of the above information was difficult to read and if there is any error I welcome the correction and those interested in the SPENCER line may write to either Mrs. HERRING or Mrs. GAMMONS.)
