My Caleb C. Spencer was born 25 Apr 1796 in Windsor, Conn. He married on 23 Jan 1822 to Clarissa B. Burr of Farmington, Conn. THey had a son Edward Monroe Spencer born in 1823. I don't think that Clarissa came to Ohio with Caleb. I suspect that she died in childbirth. In the city directory for Cincinnati, Ohio, 1825, Caleb C. is listed as a Carpenter born in Conn. Since the city directories were assembled the latter part of the preceding year, he would have had to be in Ohio in 1824. Edward never knew who is mother was. Caleb drowned in Clark Co., Indiana, on May 1850.
