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.

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.

Conflicting information comes from Colonial Families, Volume V, Baker Family, Page 34 which states Jabez was born in Norwich, New London County, Connecticut on Sept. 11, 1753 and died at Richmond, Chittenden County, Vermont Jan 26, 1823. Also states he married Faith Ripley on Jan 14, 1779. The information on their son Dr. Jabez Spicer is the same as former information.

Nathan's marriage to Sarah Clarke is listed in the New London Marriages to 1800; Record commencing Oct. 12, 1769, containing the persons married by Rev. Ephraim Woodbridge; "Nathan Spicer of Norwich & Sarah Clark, Jan. 17, 1775"

"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."

Nathan served in the same company with his younger brother Michael.
"...from Schoharie Creek they marched on to Johnstown, New York, stayed there some considerable time...here Captain Penn joined the regualr troops....[Nathan & Michael's company] was sent to Herkimer house which was built of brick and was fortified...[It was here they] joined Captain Simeon Newell's company...[They] marched from Herkimer up the Mohawk River to Fort Herkimer on the German Flats..."

Jeemiah was first engaged to woman named Phebe Newman who died while preparing for the impending nuptials. It is apparent that Jeremiah was deeply in love with young Phebe and must have been devistated upon her untimely death. As a memorial to Phebe Newman, Jeremiah named his 2nd daughter Phebe, a son Numan, and gave to all his other sons the last syllable of her name; Lyman, Orman, Daman, and Beaman.

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.

"I occasionally preached in the town of Granville at the house of my brother...He lived in the neighborhood of a Baptist Church, and was surrounded by Baptist professors. I do not recall that there was one Methodist in all that part of town. At this time the state of religion was exceedingly low in the place [about 1810]. It was on a week evening, my brother's large kitchen was well filled, and Elder R., their minister, was present..."
-Jeremiah Spicer

Apparently Jeremiah gave a sermon to his brother's guests on 'Falling from Grace', a subject which he and the Elder R. disagreed.
