Thomas Spicer was born March 9, 1785 in North Groton, New London County, Connecticut. In 1796, at age 11, Thomas
moved with his family to Oswego, NY. In 1807, Thomas was located in Hounsfield. Thomas was a soldier in the War of 1812. He served in Captain Elisha Camp's Company in the Regiment of Colonel C.P. Bellinger from June 28, 1812 to July 28, 1813. He was a Sergeant at the Second Battle of
Sackett's Harbor, May 28-30, 1813. According to family legend, Thomas took a cannonball that the English had fired, wrapped it in burlap, and fired it back at the English. This was after the Americans had depleted their own ammunition.

He was one of the master workmen at the building of the Madison Barracks, and bossed the digging at Camp's Ditch. Also according to family legend, Thomas fought in the Civil War with 2 sons and 9 grandchildren! A Thomas Spicer from Jefferson County, NY did enlist December 19, 1861 as a corporal in Company C of the 94th NY Regiment, but Thomas would have been 76 years old! It is unlikely that Thomas actually served. According to Spicer Genealogy, Thomas "was a tall, dark-skinned man, with great physical strength. His feats of daring were talked of far and wide. He never knew a sick day until after he had arrived at an age when most men die. He was noted for his integrity and honor. So sacred was his word that 'as true as Tom Spicer' became a favorite expression among the men and women who knew him. He was for fifty years a devoted member of the Methodist Church and a consistent Christian. He often addressed the assembled congregation, having a fine speaking voice, and always with great pathos and feeling. He was also an excellent singer. In all his life he never quarreled." Thomas was chairman of the July 4th festivities and ceremonies at Sackett's and Hounsfield for 40 years. Thomas died June 23, 1870 at age 85 in Hounsfield, NY. He is buried in Sulphur Springs.

The following titled PIONEER SPICER FAMILY was taken from the site of Nancy Dixon at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/spicerp.htm

Thomas was a soldier in the War of 1812. He served in Captain Elisha Camp's Company in the Regiment of Colonel C.P. Bellinger from June 28, 1812 to July 28, 1813. He was a Sergeant at the Second Battle of Sackets Harbor, May 28-30, 1813. According to family legend, Thomas took a cannonball that the English had fired, wrapped it in burlap, and fired it back at the English. This was after the Americans had depleted their own ammunition.

The following was contributed by Larry Spicer, 4th great grandson og Thomas Draper Spicer;
Thomas Draper Spicer's war time antics were memorialized in numerous newspaper articles. Says one, . . .Thomas Draper Spicer, the youthful soldier at Sackets Harbor in 1812, who stood on the bluff and sang Yankee Doodle as the British Fleet retired from the battle in defeat." Apparently this antic has been the source of "stories" handed down through the Spicer Family.
