Spicer Family
Descendants of Abraham Spicer
1. Abraham1 Spicer was born
1695, and died in Possibly in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. He married Sarah Gillingham Abt. 1721
in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of Yeamans Gillingham and
Mary Brodwell. She was born November 28,
1699 in Oxford Twp., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and died Bef. May 10, 1731 in
Wrightstown, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania.
Notes for Abraham
Spicer:
Abraham Spicer's
religion was Quaker and his occupation was a Currier.
I have tried to
establish a connection to Thomas Spicer who first arrived in Newport, Rhode
Island in 1638. Thomas, who was first married to Ann Grant, daughter of Henry
Grant, who bore him two daughters, married Michael or Michal Ann Jenkins, Feb
5, 1636 in Gravesend England.
They had four (or
five) sons, Jacob, Thomas, Michael, Samuel and possibly a fifth child John. (A
John Spicer has been attributed to this family by a couple of researchers.) It
is possible that John would be the link to Abraham. ( Rootsweb World Connect
Project, entry by Alice Bowman, although not intirely accurate, provides a
direct link between Thomas & Abraham, via John.)
I will withhold any
absolute findings till they are proved.
Abraham and Sarah
moved to Wrightstown, Bucks, Pa., where their children were born. John &
James are the only children referenced to this couple. Are there more?
Shortly after their
marriage, Abraham & Sarah moved to Wrightstown, Bucks, Pennsylvania.
John & James are
the only known children of this marriage, there may be others.

12. Yeamans3 Spicer (James2,
Abraham1) was born May 16, 1766 in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, and died
March 21, 1815 in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania.
He married Sarah Sands 1786 in Pennsylvania.
Notes for Yeamans
Spicer:
Yeamans Spicer was
found in Middletown, Bucks, Pa. in 1810. He had his spouse and three sons,
identified as Moses, b. 1787; William,
b. 1794 and Benjamin, b. 1800. He was listed as Yeoman Spicer on the census.
Marriage Notes for
Yeamans Spicer and Sarah Sands:
Yeamans Spicer had a
spouse by 1786 but was that spouse and mother of his three sons, Sarah Sands or
someone else? Quaker records say that in 1793 he was found guilty of
fornication and accomplished his marriage with a woman not in "our"
society. Was this a second wife or was this Sarah Sands.
Question: Was he
really ever married to Sarah Sands?
The only mention of
Sarah being Yeamans spouse is in a World-connect post by Alice Bowman in 2003.
She has ancestors for Yeamans Spicer all wrong and I believe that she may have
the spouse of Yeamsn wrong also. Alice does not answer post-ems or E-mails so
her info cannot be verified.

Marriage: 1786,

Children of Yeamans

in Pennsylvania; died Aft. 1831 in Richland Co., Ohio.
+ 16 ii. William Spicer, born Abt. 1794 in
Pennsylvania.
17 iii. Benjamin Spicer, born Abt. 1800 in
Middletown, Bucks, Pennsylvania.
Benjamin Spicer was in
Middletown, Bucks Pa., for the 1830 & 1840 Census.
In 1830 His family
structure was:
One male..........5 to
10
One male.........20 to
30
One male.........30 to
40 Benjamin age aboutt 30+
One female......Under 5
Three females.5 to 10
Two females...10 to 15
One female.....30 to
40 Benjamin's Spouse
Benjamin seemed to have
someone else living with him as his age could not account for the one male and
two females in the 10 to 20 to30 bracket.
In 1840 His family
looked like this:
One male..........15 -
20 from 1830
One male..........40 -
50 Benjamin age abt 40+
One female.......10 - 15 one of the children from 1830
One female.......15 -
20 one of the children from 1830
One female.......40 -
50 Benjamin's spouse
The 20 to 30 year old male
is gone as well as two of the 5 to 10 year old females and one of the 10 to 15
year old females. who were they and where did they go?

15. Moses4 Spicer (Yeamans3,
James2, Abraham1) was born May 10, 1787 in Pennsylvania,
and died Aft. 1831 in Richland Co., Ohio.
He married Nancy Ann Scott Bet. 1807 & 1810 in Pennsylvania. She was born April 15, 1783 in Pennsylvania,
and died in Ohio.
Notes for Moses Spicer:
The link between Moses
Spicer and Yeamans as his father is tenuous at best. Yeamans was found on the
1810 census in Middletown, Bucks, Pa with a spouse, (possibly Sarah Sands who
is supposed to have married sometime in his life.) Three male children listed
as One under 10 Years, (Benjamin b. 1800) two 16 to 26 years, (Moses b. 1787
and William b. 1794)
Consider the following
concerning Sarah Sands or the spouses of Yeamans Spicer: Yeamans, b. 1766,
probably married in 1786 at age twenty. His oldest child would then be Moses,
b. 1787. In 1793, Yeamans Spicer was found guilty by the Quaker Church "of
fornication and accomplished his marriage with a woman not in our society.
(Quaker Records of Bucks Co., Pa.) It does not say that he was expelled from
the church as others were, so what does this mean.
Was he married to
Sarah Sands in 1786 and the church just caught up with the fact that she was
not a Quaker, (I find that hard to believe) Or was the mother of his first
child gone and he took up with another,(Sarah?) about that time.
1820 - Moses Spicer
Bought Land in Richland Co., Ohio from Garret Cruzon (Ohio Land Records)
Moses was found in
Washington Twp., Richland Co., Ohio in 1830. He is listed with a spouse, age 40
- 50; a male child age 5 - 10 (George W., age 7) another male child, age 10 -
15, (Hiram, age 12), a male age 50 - 60, (Moses, age 57). A female child age 5
- 10 (Lydia Ann, age 10)
Moses did not show up
on any other census, before 1830 or after. His sons, on later census, say he
and their mother were born in Pennsylvania. Have not been able to determine
where at in Pennsylvania.
Moses and family
showed up in Ohio between 1823 and 1830.
Notes for Nancy Ann
Scott:
This is probably Nancy
Ann Scott who was listed in the same Bible reference as Moses. She was born
April 15, 1783 and might possibly the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah 'Randall'
Scott. This would make her an Aunt to Lydia Ann Scott who married Hiram Spicer.
