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."

Asa's son William Harrison Spicer believed that his step mother Hulda Page Robbins poisoned Asa. It is apparent Hulda did not get along well with her step-children as they were sent to live on their own shortly after she and Asa married. What is interesting is despite the seemingly bad blood between Hulda and Asa's children their descendants got along just fine as seen by the many marriages between Spicer and Robbins descendants. Hulda's grandson Elton Sylvester Robbins had a daughter Gladys, and 3 sons John, Henry [Hank] & Leo. Hulda's grandson John Robbins married Wilma Spicer [whom I believe was the daughter of Joel Isaac Spicer & Zella Enid Spicer. Zella Spicer was the daughter of William Harrison Spicer [the one who accused Hulda of poisoning Asa.] Henry [Hank] Robbins married Edna Spicer and Leo Robbins married Aileen Spicer. Edna and Aileen were the daughters of John Jesse (Jack ) Spicer & Cecilia Demarre. John Jesse Spicer was the son of Asa Holmes Spicer III & Lillian Sheldon. Asa Holmes Spicer III was the son of Asa Holmes II Spicer and Nancy Chapman and he was the step son of Hulda Page Robbins Spicer.

Asa and Hulda were married 31 years. I don't know if the story of Hulda poisoning Asa is true or why, after so many years of marriage, William believed his father met his death at the hands of his wife Hulda. Perhaps William so resented his step-mother for putting he and his siblings out that he blamed her for Asa's death.

"hi, how have you been? its been a while since I wrote to you. I put the family tree away for a while but I'm back at it now. I found a story in the Mazeppa Tribune telling about a story in the Pine Island Record newspaper, about a Mrs. Spicer trying to poison her husband mar 6 1897 its actually an apology to Mrs. Spicer placed in the tribune by the authors of the story. it says we have learned that the statement regarding Mrs. Spicer was untrue and we were grossly misinformed by what we thought was a reliable source...."

Excerpt from an e-mail sent to me by John Sander on December 27, 2003

Information on the various Spicer Robbins marriages was supplied by John Sander, 3rd great grandson of both Asa Spicer and Hulda Robbins.

I am also a relative of Royal Jesse Chapman. His daughter Abigail Jane was a sister to Nancy, who married Asa Spicer.
As far as I know, there has never been any connection between R.J. Chapman with any other known Chapman's in New York.
As I was doing some census research, 1850, in West Sparta, Livingston Co., NY I discovered that the Jacob Chapman family is enumerated next to the Asa Spicer (Sr.) family. Has anyone tried to tie these two Chapman's together?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Asa and Nancy married in 1849 during New York’s Graft War and migrated to Minnesota shortly after the Civil War Draft Riots. The years from 1840 through 1866 was a bloody and violent period in New York brought on by "the Panic of 1837." The panic started on May 10, 1837 in New York City with the failure of banks and record unemployment levels.

By 1840, with the influx of immigrants organized crime steadily grew in New York. It infiltrated and dominated all aspects of New York’s life, from the criminal justice system, to those involved in politics, and the social elite down to the working class. Most businesses and political forums had an undercurrent of criminality and corruption. Politicians often used money from gambling operations to get elected, and organized crime figures worked closely with labor racketeers. The Irish played the dominant role in organized crime in New York, Chicago and other cities. Those involved in organized crime controlled the city. Graft by city leaders was prevalent throughout New York. They defrauded the city through padded and fictitious charges and also profited extravagantly from tax favors. The negative effects of organized crime on New York continued for many decades.

In March 1863 the National Conscription Act was passed. The act made all single men aged twenty to forty-five and married men up to thirty-five subject to a draft lottery. One of the major reasons for the draft riot was the act allowed drafted men to avoid conscription (I.e. the draft) by supplying someone to take their place or by paying the government a $300.00 exemption fee. Needless to say, only the wealthy could afford to buy their way out of the draft. On Saturday, July 11, 1863 The National Conscription Act, which was to initially be enforced in New York City, exacerbated long-simmering class tensions in the city. On the evening of Sunday, July 12th, working men and women met in the city's streets and saloons and read the names drawn during the previous day's draft lottery. Not surprising the names the appeared on the draft list consisted almost entirely of the working class and poor.

On Monday morning, workers from the city's railroads, machine shops, shipyards, and iron foundries gathered together to protest the unfairness of the draft. The large crowd then began moving uptown, gathering workers from workshops and factories along the way. Their goal was to march to the
Provost Marshall's Office at Third Avenue and Forty Sixth Street, where more names of those who were to be drafted would be drawn that day. Carrying "No Draft" signs, they cut telegraph wires and gathered weapons along the way.

Over the course of the next three days bloody street battles raged across New York City's rich and poor neighborhoods. One aspect of this riot that is often not told is that the rioters, most Irish and German immigrants, focused some of their rage on the city's black citizens who’s own struggles for work came up against the influx of immigrants The African Americans were not the only victims, the rioters also attacked any person or any business that represented wealth, prosperity, or propensity to be a Republican (whom the rioters held responsible for the segregations of the working class and the wealthy.)

Before peace was finally restored with the arrival of federal troops (many directly from the battlefield at Gettysburg) on Thursday, July 16, New York City's draft riot would become the nation's single most violent civil disorder, with more lives lost than in any other instance of urban domestic violence in American history.

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."

His date of birth is listed as Feb 2, 1889 in Omaha, Nebraska. His father is listed as John F. Smith of Milbank. He is listed as single with blue eyes and light hair. The date is June6, 1917. I found the SSN of his son, Earnest H. Smith. He was born March 26,1926 in South Dakota and died Jan. 12,1988 in 59330 Glendive Road, Dawson, Montana. SSN#504-16-5689.

From "The Philanthropic Works Of Angie Williams Cox" by Thomas Reineck. This is found at the Wisconsin State Historical Society.

Robert Morris Williams was born 1856 and died 1931. He Married America Angeline Smith.(date?) They spent the first year of their marriage on his fathers farm in Marcellon, Wis. In 1869 they moved to Pardeeville, Wisconsin where Robert worked as a Blacksmith. Between 1869 and 1898. Robert worked at 10 different jobs and moved to 13 different towns. The jobs he held were: Blacksmith, Carpenter, Telegrapher, Lumberjack, Hunter, Farmer, Practical Hypnotist, Newspaper Editor, Photographer, and Boater. The towns in which he resided were: Pardeeville, Wis.; Portage Wis.; Medford Wis., Chippewa Crossing, Wis.; Bayfield, Wis.; Glidden, Wis.; Norwich, New York; Fairport, Iowa; Decatur, Ala.; Huntsville, Ala.; Florence, Ala.; and Nashville, Tennessee. One person said of him, "he was intellectually well-equipped but financially bankrupt." He said of himself, " The world do move, the cranks do move it" Thus, he named his newspaper in Pardeeville, Wis. "The Crank".

William Spicer had cancer in his face which required many surgeries to remove the cancerous tissue and bone. Due to the surgeries, William's face was horribly disfigured and his sinus cavities were exposed which drained constantly and required frequent dressing changes. Despite severe pain from the facial mutilation(s), and the exposure of his open wounds to bacteria and germs, William survived, albeit miserably, in this condition for many years. His son, Lanklyn also suffered from facial cancer, however, his malignancies were diagnosed in the early stages and less extreme measures of treatment was provided, i.e. burning the malignancies.

William Harrison Spicer made a blackboard for one of the first schools [in Holt County, Nebraska] which is written in "Before Today" a book about the people who settled Holt County Nebraska

The same book states, James Davis and Arina Wyman moved to Minnesota in 1855, a year before Arina Philinda Davis was born. Then moved their family to Holt County, Nebraska in 1878 with 13 children. Yet Arina and William Harrison's daughter, Valerie [Lanklyn's sister] was born in 1875, where I don't know but their 2nd child, Claude was born in 1877 in Atkinson, Nebraska, a year before the book claims Arina Phylinda moved to Holt County, NE with her parents! So it is questionable that Arina Wyman and James Davis moved to Holt County, Nebraska with their 13 children after all.

He was named after his uncle William Harrison, I

William moved his family back and forth between Minnesota and Nebraska on several occasions by covered wagon. On the family's last trip back to Minnesota, William and Arina's 6 year old son, Nathan, contracted scarlet fever and died near Winnebago City, Minnesota. Heart broken, William and Arina carried their small child away from the train and buried him under a small cherry tree on the prairie.

Once the towns people heard that someone on the train had died of the fever they wired to all of the towns and villages ahead to warn them, and the people on the wagon train were shunned and made to stay away from the towns and villages. In later years one of Nathan's brother's went back to Winnebago in search of his brother's small grave in order to place a headstone but was unable to find it.
