M. M. and E. A. SPENCER, farmers, P. O. Reesville. Capt. James Spencer, grandfather of the two gentlemen whom we represent in this sketeh, emigrated to Ken- tueky from Pennsylvania at an early day, and settled in Newport, but soon after removed to Fort Washington (now Cincinnati). He married Miss Mary McClure, daughter of Capt. John McClure. They were the first white couple married in what is now known as Cincinnati. He served as a private soldier during the Revolutionary war, for which service he drew a pension until the time of his death. He also served in the campaign of Hamer and St. Clair. During the war of 1812, he served as a Captain in the army commanded by Gen. Harrison. He moved to Clinton County about 1816. The dates of his birth and death are to the writer unknown. John C. Spencer, son of Capt. James Spencer, was born in Newport, Ky., in 1795. He remained at the home of his father until he reached his eighteenth year. He then enlisted in the army of Gen. Harrison, during the war of 1812 .. He participated in the siege of Fort Meigs and various other engagements. He served until the elose of the war, when he received an honorable discharge. - He then returned to his home in Clinton County, to which his father's family had removed during his absence. Shortly after his return home, he married Miss Mary L. Hinkson, daughter of Col. Thomas Hinkson. This union was blessed with eight children, six of whom are still living. After his marriage, he lived on his father's farm for about one year, from whence he moved to what is now known as the Hinkson farm; he remained there about four years. He subsequently bought a farm near Sabina, removed thereon, where he remained until the spring of 1836, in which year he started on a western tour to Illinois, for the purpose of finding a home for his family in that State. He, however, soon returned and abandoned is project. While in Illinois, his family had moved to what is now known as the Spencer farm. After leaving the Hinkson farm, and before buying the farm near Sabina, he lived for about four years on what is now known as the Absalom Douglass farm. After

returning from the West, he remained at home but a short time, and started on a journey to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Henceforth all traces of him were lost. Milton M., one of the sons of John C. Spencer, was born in Clinton County, Ohio, in February, 1820. º His youth was spent on a farm, the pursuits of which he has followed up to the present time. . On October 16, 1851, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary L. Welch, born 1815, daughter of Peter and Matilda Welch, of Dutchess County, N. Y. This union has been blessed with three children-Benjamin, Mary E. and Ethan A. Mr. Spencer is a man of good judgment and reliable character. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and believes in supporting every project which has for its object the elevation of mankind, or humanity in general. Ethan A., brother of Milton M. Spencer was born June 23, 1823, in Clinton County, Ohio, where he has lived unto the present time, with the exception of three or four years spent in the State of Indiana, where he was employed by his uncle as a dry goods clerk. After his return from Indiana, he attend- ed the High School at Wilmington for one year, after which he taught school for about two years. In the spring of 1862, he was elected Justice of the Peace for Wilson Township, and served as such until about the 20th of July, the same year. On July 26, 1862, he was commissioned a Captain in the Seventy-ninth Regiment Ohio Volun- teer Infantry, in the service of the United States. He raised a company of one hun- dred men, and reported for duty at Camp Dennison, Ohio, in cight days' time. In a few days, the regiment was ordered to Kentucky for the protection of Cincinnati against the invasion of the rebel Gen. Kirby Smith. After many hard marches and severe cxpos- ures, during the retreat of the Confederate army, and without any rest, the regiment was ordered to Louisville, from thence to Frankfort, where they arrived about the time the battle of Perryville occurred. After remaining at Frankfort a few days, the regiment was ordered to Gallatin, Tenn., at which place they took up their winter quarters. On March 15, 1863, owing to a disease contracted in the service, from which he has not yet, and probably will never, fully recover; also, owing to an accidental gun-shot wound in the left hand which rendered it partially useless, he resigned his commission and re- turned home. In September, 1863, he was commissioned Colonel of the Third Regi- ment Ohio Militia. The regiment, however, was never called upon to do active service, and soon after merged into the Home Guards. His occupation is that of an agricult- urist, in which he has been engaged, more or less, for thirty years. He has been able to perform comparatively little labor since his return from the army. In politics, he generally votes regardless of party spirit. He is a member of the Odd Fellows Society, Lodge No. 501, Sabina, and in company with his brother, Milton M., is the owner of 120 acres of land. Col. Thomas Hinkson, father of Mrs. John C. Spencer (deceased), was born in 1772, in Westmoreland County, Penn., and emigrated, with his father, to Kentucky. In the autumn of 1790, as a volunteer and private, he accompanied the expedition of Gen. Hamer, and was engaged in the battle near the Miami villages, in which battle he received a slight wound in the left arm. He was subsequently en- gaged in the diastrous campaign of Gen. St. Clair. In the campaign of 1794 against the Indians, he served as a Lieutenant under Gen. Wayne, with the Kentucky Mount- ed Volunteers. After the defcat of the Indians, he returned home and married Miss Elizabeth Foos, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Foos. He then settled on a farm in Har -. rison County, Ky. In the spring of 1806, he emigrated to Ohio, Clinton County, and in 1807, settled on a farm eight miles east of Wilmington. He was soon after elected Justice of the Peace, and appointed Captain of the militia company, to which he sub- sequently belonged. In 1810, he was elected one of the Associate Judges of the county. During the year 1812, he commanded a company of Rangers. After his return home, he was appointed Colonel of the Third Regiment, First Division Ohio

. Militia. He removed to Indiana in 1824, and was elected Associate Judge of Bar- tholomew County. Hc died in 1828, aged fifty-six years. Judge Benjamin Hinkson, son " Col. Thomas Hinkson, was born in December, 1797, in Harrison County, Ky., and' removed with his father to Clinton County, Ohio, in 1806. He remained ' on the farm until he was about fifteen years of age. In 1818, he entered Chillicothe Academy, where he spent about two years-in the meantime reading law

In the war of 1812, he served about eight months, and for which service he drew a pension. Politically, he was a Whig. He voted for Henry Clay in 1824, but had, up to the time of his death, acted with the Democratic party since 1828. After devoting a life of usefulness to his coun- try, he died March 14, 1877.
