J. W. Spencer was Joseph T.'White' Spencer.My aunt indicated that the 'White' was given to him because he rode a white horse when delivering mail.His parents were Caleb C. Spencer b. 1796 in Conn. d. May 1850 in Owen Twp., Clark Co., Indiana.He drowned and Lavina S. Kibby b.Dec. 23, 1805 in St. Charles, Mo. and died in 1890 in Clark Co., Indiana. Caleb and Lavina were married in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lavina's parents were Rachel Stites, d/o of Benjamin Stites and Rachel and Timothy Kibby s/o Timothy Kibby and Mary Sexton.Benjamin Stites founded the city of Columbia in 1788. It was later incorporated with Losantsville [now Cincinnati].I have the Stites and Kibby [Kibbe] lines back to 1500.Poor Caleb, I haven't been able to find anything about him.
