25th Generation


1301. Timothy SPENCER59 was born on 6 Nov 1756 in Millington, Tolland Co., CT. He died about 1815. The information on this Timothy was presented in vol. 26, no. 3 of the Spencer Historical and Genealogical Society, printed in August 2002.

Timothy and his wife left their home in CT between 1804-1810 and settled in the town of Springfield, Otsego Co., NY. Timothy had bought and sold land in East Haddam between the years of 1787 and 1799 according to the Barnes genealogy. In the East Haddam Deed 15-522-----25 Oct 1809, Timothy and his wife Sara plus her brother Isiah B. Arnold, settled property of her late father, Joseph Arnold. It appear that he didn't buy land in Otsego Co. but rather moved to be with his son, Arnold who had 48 acres of land on the west side of Lake Otsego. The census records of 1810 indicated that Timothy and his family lived next door to Arnold probably until his death in 1815.

"Record of Service Of Connecticut Men For the War of the Revolutions" lists Timothy Spencer from the town of East Haddam as one who marched from the Conneticut Towns "for relief of Bost in the Lexington Alarm" April 1775.

Major Gen'l Sullivan in the Newport Expedition State Rhode Island in August & September of 1778 during the Revolutionary War. Records in the National Archieves show a Timothy Spencer entering the military, 3 Aug 1778 and being discharged 14 Sept 1778, a total of 43 days service.
