Jonathan Spicer or John Spicer as the name is given in Pension Records is
said by descendants to have been born in England but this is a question. He
might well be a descendant of the Spicers who settled in New Jersey. However,
one account states that he deserted from the British army, having come to
America with it; joined the Colonial army and served until end of the war, soon
after marrying the daughter of a Pennsylvania Dutchman. The Pension Records
make his birth year to appear as 1754, and state that he died Aug. 6, 1838. He
is buried in Adamsville cemetery, Adamsville, Ohio. He married in New Jersey,
Kathern or Kathryn ______. From Pension Records we deduce her year of bither
as 1752. She is said to have been born in Wales. Pension Records state that
John Spicer enlisted as a private in 1777 in Capt. Martin's Co., Col. Martin's
fourth New Jersey Regiment and was dischared June 5, 1783. He was engaged in
the battles of Short Hills, Brandywine, where he was wounded, Monmouth and at
the siege of Yorktown. Descendants state he was wounded three times and
because of one of his wounds was obliged to have a silver plate to protect his
brain. He applied for a pension Nov 2, 1818 and was then living in Bulter
County, Pennsylvania. In 1820 he was living in Muskingum County, Ohio, at
which time he had grandchild Benjamin Spicer residing with him. (See War
Pension Claims S. File No. 40,489.) About 1819 he with family of nine
well-grown children nearly all of whom were born West Moreland County,
Pennsylvania, settled in the southern part of the township of Adamsville,
Muskingum County. His sons David, Daniel and Thomas all obtained land here and
built the first cabins and proceeded to subjugate the forests.He came to the colonies as a British Soldier to fight the colonists during the
Revoltionary War. He deserted the British and fought in the colonial army
until war's end. After the war he married Katherine in New Jersey. In the mid
1780s they moved to Muskingum County, Ohio Territory.Revolutionary Soldiers 1775-1783, Official Roster:

Letter to Honorable J. R. (Joel) Poinsett, Sec. of War, Washington D.C.
Honarable J.R. Pointsett, Sec. of War, Washington City, D.C.
--- on the 16th of February 1819 John Spicer obtained a certificate of pension
from the department over which you preside. Which allowed him eight dollars
per month. It appears that Spicer drawed his half years pension of the 4th of
March 1838. That Spicer died on the 6th of August of the same year, which
would make five months and two days which his Widow would be entitled to. He
left a Widow 84 years old whose mental faculties are greatly impaired, so much
so that if I am informed correctly it would be imprudent to administer the
requisite Oath to enable her to draw the arrears of her Husbands pension. Iwant to know of you, if the Executor of her husbands estate (who is the son)
could not draw for her, or what other means could be pursued to enable her to
get his due. Any information you may deem proper to give will be thankfully
acknowledged so that justice may be done to a superannuated old Lady.Zanesvill May 6, 1839

Some time since I had the honor to address a letter to you in relation to the
Widow of John Spicer in which I represented the imbecility of her mind. It was
answered that a guardian should be appointed and according to the laws of Ohio,
a Judge must issue a Warrant for her, summon five freeholders to examine. She
and the freeholders must then be taken to the Court and a tryal had on her in
relation to her sanity - if commited of insanity, a guardian may be appointed -
this precept is totally impractible. She lives 9 miles from the Court and her
fraily and indisposition is such as would render it impossible to attend Court.
She could not perform the journey without great and manifest injustice done to
her constitution. I ask if there could not be any other method taken to effect
the object of her proving the arrears of her husbands pension --Your friend & humble serv't

before, at the home of Elizabeth Porter, where she moved after the death of
John Spicer. She undoubtably is buried beside John Spicer, in the Adamsville,
Ohio Cemetery. No marker for this grave, altho there is plenty of space next
to him for her grave. (The papers for her application for pension, would be on
