What kind of man was my grandfather Cecil?
When I was 15 I had a cyst removed from my left wrist. After the surgery and when I was put in a regular room they were still having trouble getting me to wake up. They thought I just needed to sleep off the anesthesia but the truth is I was severely dehydrated. The staff wouldn't tell my parents what was going on, just that they couldn't see me until I was fully awake so my parents were left worrying in the waiting room for over 6 hours.
In the meantime my grandpa who we called Gop or Goppy had also tried to see me and like my parents he was turned away at the nurses station. So there I was alone drifting in and out of consciousness. I remember struggling to wake up and being so frightened that I couldn't reach that state of consciousness. Even in that hazy state I knew enough to be scared that something wasn't right but not quite awake enough to do anything about it. Then suddenly through the fog in my brain I heard my grandpa Gop's sweet soothing voice telling me I was going to be OK because he was there for me now.
Then a nurse came into my room. She was angry and told him I wasn't allowed visitors and ordered him to leave. He refused and began raging at her about the inadequate care I was getting. Couldn't they see the reason I wasn't coming to was because I was severely dehydrated!! I was not having trouble coming out of the anesthesia, I was so dehydrated I couldn't regain consciousness! The nursed finally took a good looked at me. My lips were cracked, my skin gray and dry - I must have looked awful because the next thing I knew I was being jabbed with needles in both arms as they set me up for IV's. They pushed the fluids in me as fast as they could and soon I was able to become fully alert.
My grandfather had a severe heart problem and he was not suppose to climb stairs or do anything that would strain his heart yet when he got turned away at the nurses station he went down to the main floor, found a back stairway and walked up 3 flights of stairs in order find me. And he snuck in and out of rooms until he did find me! His perseverance probably saved my life.
Of course my mom was extremely grateful that her stubborn father was so determined to see me that he snuck his way in, but she was also very upset that he had climbed all of those stairs and risked his own life in order to get to me. And that is the kind of man my grandpa, my "Goppy", Cecil William Spicer was. | Cecil William SPICER

Cora's Death Certificate correctly identifies her mother's maiden name as Estella Mae O'Connell but incorrectly identifies her father Lanklyn S. Spicer as Conkly S. Spicer. I believe the mistake occurred due to the circumstances of little Cora's death. One of Lank's brothers and his family came to visit Lank and Mae around the time of Cora's birth. This family brought Scarlet Fever with them and Mae and her newborn daughter Cora contracted the illness. To prevent the spread of the Scarlet fever the family was under quarantine when Cora died so the undertaker left a small casket at the curb. Lank retrieved the casket and gently placed his infant daughter in it then returned the casket to the curb. The undertaker removed Cora and immediately buried her. On all of the other death certificates I have collected a family member has filled out the father's name and mother's maiden name, then signed the certificate as the "informant." Because Cora's family was under quarantine no family member signed her death certificate, instead it names the informant as "Taken from register." I believe whoever copied the register misread Lank's name. Perhaps it was smudged or faded. Whatever the reason the L was mistaken for a C and the A for an O, then they got the next 3 letters correct; KLY, but then for whatever reason did not add the N. | Cora Igsli SPICER

The land Pete Spicer purchased next to George Geer was added to by four generations of Spicer’s and remained in the family, intact, until 1788 when Cyrus Spicer sold his portion of it, on which was built the first house, (to our 8th great grand-uncle) Ensign Isaac Avery. It is now owned by Albert J Clark of Norwich, New London County, Connecticut .

According to the Hudson-Mohawk Family Memoirs, Vol. II Hudson-Mohawk Family Histories pgs 587, Edward & Katherine had only one son; John Spicer.
Edward Spicer married his 1st cousin, Katherine Stone. Katherine's mother was Mary Busecot's sister Abigail.
Edward is mentioned in Groton Town Records as a freeman and landholder in 1708; in 1711 he was chosen one of a committee about school lands; in 1712 and 1716, surveyor for highways; in 1714, fence viewer. Dec 5, 1718, it was decreed that he should take care of the youths on the Lord's Day. Dec 30, 1718 he was chosen grand juryman.
He received land in the first and second division of land at "Nowayank Neck" (lands taken from the Pequot Indians and allotted to the inhabitants of Groton, CT, on July 3 and 4, 1712, and Jan 23, 1712-13). Dec 12, 1713 he sold the two lots comprising 3 1/2 acres to James Morgan.
Sep 7, 1719, he sold a tract of 140 acres in Voluntown, New London Co, for 10 pounds to Christopher Avery.
Jan 24, 1721-2 he and his son John both received a lot adjoining his fathers 20 acres. Samuel Whipple, Joshua Bill, Nicholas Street, Nehemiah Smith, committee.
1719 he deeded his homestead farm of 20 acres to his son John.
Dec 10, 1723 he sells to John Spicer 4 acres + for 3 pounds and 5 shillings.
Jan 12, 1724-5 sells him part of his woodlot for 5 pounds; witnesses, Jacob Park Jr, Richard Christopher, Jr.
May 13, 1727 he sold to Isaac Geer for 9 pounds and 10 shillings lands he received in the 2nd division; witnesses, Jonathan Wickwere and Nathaniel Brown.
Jan 15, 1729, he sold to son John Spicer, husbandman, from 10 to 12 acres for 15 pounds; witnesses, Henry Pelton and Peter Tift.
Feb 5, 1730-1 he sold to Humphrey Avery for 5 pounds all "my right and title in or chalenge unto the sequestered corner of Indian land at Mashantucksitt... in township of Groton; witnesses, James Morgan and Ann Morgan. In the deed he is styled farmer and husbandman. | Edward SPICER, , 9

I have seen the Spicer's referenced in Hotten's Original List & Niell's and in Virginia Carolorum, and found some other references to Spicer's in Virginia in later years but not in Gregory or Edward Spicer's time, other than the mention of Gregory as arriving in Virginia in 1618. I found this reference of Gregory in the Virginia Muster Rolls of 1623/24. One reason that there isn't any other references of Gregory Spicer is because he was an indentured servant on the Mathew's Plantation. Although European, and not a man of color, he was non the less considered property and would not have been counted in most census of his the time. The only reason he appears in the Muster Roll (census) of 1623/24 is because the Indians went on a rampage and killed so many English citizens and their servants & slaves that the King of England demanded an actual head count of all towns and plantations, including servants and slaves. If it weren't for this, Gregory Spicer most likely would never have been included in a census as anything other than an un-named indentured servant (considered property.)
Gregory Spicer's status as an indentured servant leads some of his descendants to speculate that he married a servant as well. This may be the reason that there are no records of his marriage and children's births. These records would have been part of the Mathews Plantation records as opposed to public ones. The problem is that most of these types of records were lost or destroyed especially during the Civil War and subsequent Reconstruction period. If in fact Gregory Spicer's son Edward was born on the Mathew's Plantation it would again explain the lack of records.
We assume Peter Spicer was born in Virginia because "it is known" that is where he was prior to settling in Connecticut where he subsequently married Mary Busecot. However, the way the Spicer's moved around this country it is also possible that Edward Spicer left Virginia, married and returned later with his family, or Peter returned there on his own. It is also possible that there are no records simply because the family didn't live in a populated area, were married in their homes, had their children there and lived away from towns or cities where record keeping was practiced. We are a civilization of records but, other than family Bibles, records were not exactly kept like they are today so I don't get discourage because "there aren't any records." I find it interesting that although no records seem to exist on Peter Spicer prior to his settling in Connecticut, it is "known that he came from Virginia and was of English parentage."
How it this fact known? Because it appears in writings such as in the HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF PETER SPICER; Meech and Meech, 1911. Does this make it factual? No it doesn't, however, most of us accept the research of Susan Meech as accurate so we quote her book as a source of our own research. I look at it this way; Gregory, Edward and Peter Spicer existed whether or not there names appear in any records, so I accept the fact that some things can never be proven, especially in the world of genealogy!

Letters of administration on the estate of Ezekiel Spicer, farmer "who died recently at Crum Mons Precinct, were granted by the Lieut. Governor at Ft. George, City of New York, April 24, 1760 to Roswell Hopkins, a merchant of Amenia, N. Y. He married Luce Shephard6 Aug. 30, 1738, in Pomfret, Conn. It is thought she was the daughter of Samuel and Eleanor (Whitney) Shepard of Plainfield, b. Nov. 14, 1718. The Whitney Genealogy states that this Luce died single in 1735. Luce wife of Ezekiel Spicer
probably died soon after 1753 the date of birth of her daughter Susannah, for in Amenia, N. Y. we find recorded the birth of Sarah, to Ezekiel and Martha Spicer, Oct. 23, 1759. Ezekiel Spicer evidently left Pomfret in 1747 or 1748 as he disappears from the records of Pomfret March 24, 1746-7, and removed to Middletown, Conn., as the record of his marriage and births of his children to 1753 is found there. In 1759 he bought land in Dutchess County, New York, from Jos. Smith.

From "Columbia County History Book 1982"
LANGLIN SPICER FAMILY
The first ancestor of the Spicer family to come to Columbia county, Wisconsin, was Langlin Spicer who was born April 5, 1830 in West Sparta Livingston County, New York. He was on of 14 children of Asa and Elizabeth Tobias Spicer. He was married to Mary Smith of West Sparta in 1849. A daughter, Elizabeth and a son, Jeremiah was born to them. Mr. Spicer’s wife died in 1856, and he was married for the second time to Phoebe Van Steenburg in 1858. Their first son, George, was born in West Sparta in 1859. In 1861, the family came to Columbia County, Wisconsin and settled in Marcellon Township. Mr. Spicer’s mother died in New York and his father, Asa, and some of his brothers and sisters also settled in this area.
Langlin Spicer acquired about 280 acres of land in Marcellon. They lived for a time in a small two-story house on a neighboring farm. Later, Mr. Spicer bought the house and moved it to a new location on his own land. While the house was being moved, his wife and children remained inside. Mrs. Spicer related later that it was "a very rough ride."
Much of the Spicer land was covered with virgin timber that had to be cleared. A portion of the timber was left standing to be used for fuel and lumber, after the land was cleared, a walking plow was pulled by a team of oxen to break up the soil.
In 1864, Langlin Spicer’s son, Jeremiah died at the age of 9. In that same year, Mr. Spicer enlisted in Co. I, 49th Wisconsin Infantry and served about a year in the Civil War. In 1865, a second son Jerry was born and in 1866 a third son Charles was born. This same year, Jeffrey died at the age of 16 months.
As the family grew, more rooms were added to the original house which still stands today on highway 33, about one fourth mile west of the junction of highway 22.
A daughter, Cora, was born in 1870, and a fourth son, Clifford, in 1881. All of the children left to go their separate ways except Charles who remained on the family farm.
A short time before his death in 1897, the Spicers moved to Pardeeville, Wisconsin. Mrs. Spicer died there in 1919, and was buried in the family plot in Marcellon Cemetery."

Lanklyn Sylvester Spicer 1884 1970
Lanklyn Spicer was my great-great grandfather, and his name fit as he was a very tall lanky man and I am told he had a wonderful twinkle in his eyes. He lived up north on a farm in Bruno Minnesota. He grew beautiful roses and was quite proud of them.
Lanklyn came from a large family, with nine brothers and sisters. As a young boy, Lanklyn’s family frequently moved by covered wagon back and forth from Nebraska, where he was born, to Minnesota. The reason for these frequent moves was due to the various Indian ‘uprisings.’ In 1895 on the family’s last journey back to Minnesota, Lanklyn’s younger brother Nathan contracted diphtheria and passed away near the city of Winnebago. Lanklyn’s family settled in Faribault, Minnesota before permanently setting in Sandstone, Minnesota.
According to his sister Evelena, Lanklyn had a wonderful sense of humor and was quite a prankster. He and his siblings all learned to play various instruments, Lanklyn learned to play several instruments quite well, and the family often entertained themselves with 'concerts.'
Lanklyn grew up on the family farm but had the Spicer wanderlust and eventually left home to see what life had to offer off the farm. He surprised his family when he returned to the farm in 1909 with a new bride, Estella Mae O‘Connell. In 1912 Lanklyn’s brother’s family came to visit Lanklyn’s growing young family including a son recently born. Joy turned to sorrow when it was discovered that the visiting relatives had brought ‘the fever’ with them. Lanklyn’s wife and new born son caught the fever and the child soon passed away. The local undertaker left a small white box out on the deserted street in front of Lanklyn’s home. After fetching the box, Lanklyn and Estella said their goodbyes and placed their infant inside. Securing the lid, Lanklyn then placed the box back out in the street to be picked up by the undertaker for burial.
Life was hard at the turn of the century but Lanklyn managed to support and raise 8 children. As a farmer Lanklyn didn’t have modern conveniences such as tractors and reapers, the land was plowed while walking behind a horse or mule and water was ‘drawn’ from a well he had to dig. Wood had to be chopped for fuel to heat the house and cook meals. Vegetable gardens were essential and were hoed by hand. Meat was raised and hunted to feed the family.
Lanklyn was a quiet man, at least in his later years, who enjoyed spending his evenings sitting in his easy chair reading his Bible and watching the small green tree frogs that would cling to the glass of the big picture window he sat beside. | Lanklyn Sylvester SPICER

Michael's enlistment in the Revolutionary War came this way; Every man in that part of the country volunteered and/or was bound to furnish a seasoned man for service. Nathan Spicer furnished his 16 year old son Michael; Nathan also served.
In a letter to Edward R. Wells dated March 1840, *Tobias Spicer said of his brother Michael, "As to our family connexions [sic]...Michael still lives in Ticonderoga--- is poor and careless still." This seems a rather harsh description of Michael who was known to be a hard working and respected family man.
*Note; Tobias had little good to say about any of his siblings as he felt all but sister Hannah were going to hell because they were not Methodists. | Michael SPICER

Nathan and his second wife Abigail are buried at Fort Ann, Washington County, New York in a small cemetery at the crossroad between Hadlock and Buttermilk Falls Road. The graves were first apparently marked with two field stones, and later headstones.
Inscription on the headstone of Nathan Spicer:
"In memory of Mr. Nathan Spicer,
who departed this life July 27, A.D. 1811,
aged 76 years
Com living men, as you pass by
As you ar now so once was I
As I am now so you must bee
Prepare for death
and follow me
Useful in life
Resigned in death
And at Gods call
Give up my breath"
Nathan as well as many of his descendants was a blacksmith. His craft was highly respected and versitile. Nathan was skilled at his craft. Blacksmithing fell into 3 specialtie groups as described in Jean Grubes book entailed preforming a wide variety of work, "[group 1]...all sorts of iron or boat work, chaise and chair work, cleaning and mending guns, pistols, locks and keys, cleans and mends jacks, shoes horses, and makes all kinds of kitchen furniture, ...hinges for houses, etc...cranes, tongs, trivets, spits, pans, drippers, skimmers, etc...repairs all kinds of things, and made Betty lamps and other lighting fixtures. Tools ususally included the hearth with bellows, water trough, shovels, tongs, rakes, pokers, and water containers for dampening down the fire and cooking objects...[group 2] anvil, sledges, tongs, swages, cutters, chisels, and hammers...[group 3]shoeing box which contains knives, rasps and files for preparing the horses hooves for shoes, an iron stand for supporting the horses foot while working on it and a special hammer and nails to fasten the shoe to the hoof."
Blacksmiths also made wagon wheels, axes, sleigh runners, bits for horses, iron fittings for houses and schooners, chains, ploughs, any item forged from metals.
One can assume that Nathan and his sons may have put their skills to work for the Revolution.

"The first Congregational Church was organized at Gloucester, Mass., in 1642, removing from thence in 1650 to New London. Consequently we would here correct the mistake made in the Preface of the First Book "Early Connecticut Marriages" and number this as the 10th instead of the 13th Congregational Church organization of the state."

"Where Peter Spicer came from to New London has not been ascertained but tradition tells us that he came from Virginia to New England and was of English parentage. It is also so recorded in the family Bible of Abel Spicer."
It has been established that Peter's father was Edward Spicer b. 1623
"Feb 23, 1692, the town granted him twenty acres, which was laid out to him March 23, 1692-3, on the east side of the river near his own land. "beginning at a black or gray oak tree marked on four sides near or adjoining to the northwest corner of George Geares hundred acres; from thence running northwest nearest . . . foure rods to a white oak tree marked on four sides; from thence west southerly to a swamp and with the swamp, and so along with the s'd same swamp towards the swamp to George Geares north west corner tree of his hundred acres and from thence towards the northeast nearest joyning to the northwest side of George Geares hundred acres to the above mentioned black or gray oak tree." This land, added to by four generations, remained in the family intact until 1788, when Cyrus Spicer sold his portion of it, on which was built the first house, (to our 8th great grand-uncle) Ensign Isaac Avery. It is now owned by Albert J Clark of Norwich, Ct. The site of the old ancestral home is marked by a slight elevation partly overgrown with bushes and the well now filled with stones is close by..."
"In 1667 the Noank Indians, a remnant of the once warlike Pequot tribe, were ordered to settle on their reservation, called Mashantuckset, a mile or so west of our pioneer ancestor's farm. He evidently lived on amicable terms with them, for there are no complaints entered on the records of the town by either party. Indeed we have reason to be proud of our ancestor, inasmuch as his farm was not enlarged by land forcibly taken from, or obtained by small valueless gifts to the Indians."

Peter Spicer volunteered in the Narranganset War (also known as King Philip's War & Metacom's Rebellion)
KING PHILIP’S WAR : THE EFFECTS
King Philip’s War was one of the bloodiest and most costly in the history of America. One in ten soldiers on both sides was injured or killed. It took many years for Plymouth and the other colonies to recover from damage to property
The outcome of King Philip’s War was devastating to the traditional way of life for Native People in New England. Hundreds of Natives who fought with Philip were sold into slavery abroad. Others, especially women and children, were forced to become servants locally. As the traditional base of existence changed due to the Colonists’ victory, the Wampanoag and other local Native communities had to adapt certain aspects of their culture in order to survive.

In 1836, the town of Groton was divided, and the larger portion, including all the North Parish, was called the town of Ledyard. This tract of land is mostly fertile, and quite picturesque; it contains many hills and valleys, and has several small water-courses. Part of the peaceful village of Poquetanuck now lies on its northern border, the remainder being within the limits of Preston. About two miles south of this village is located the first tract of land granted to Peter Spicer, whose son Jabez married Margaret Parke, granddaughter of George Geer and who's great-granddaughter, Abigail Spicer, married Daniel Geer, Jr., also a descendant of George. | Peter SPICER, , 8 & 10
