Marshall, since my posting in 2003 I have determined that my James J. Spencer was almost certainly the son of Thomas Spencer b. 17 Jan 1774 probably in South Carolina.Thomas's siblings were Fanny who married Matthew Dunham, Jr., Peter, William who married Sarah (Sally) Harvey and Grace who married Samuel Halley.Thomas and his brother William settled in Mississippi where William lived in Hinds County and Thomas lived in Copiah County. Thomas first went to Georgia before moving on to Mississippi. Their father, John Thomas Spencer and John's brother William had apparently both received land grants around 1772 in the 96th district of South Carolina, later becomming Edgefield County, South Carolina.John inhereted as heir-at-law indicating that William was unmarried and had no children. Most of this information came to me from Joan Evans, to whom I am most grateful.
