Jesse and Katherine Smith sold their farm in Wisconsin and went to Josephine County, Oregon in search of Gold. I have Mortgage papers dated 1909. I m not sure if they died there or came back to Wisconsin. They are buried in Pardeeville Cemetery.

Nathan's marriage to Sarah Clarke is listed in the New London Marriages to 1800; Record commencing Oct. 12, 1769, containing the persons married by Rev. Ephraim Woodbridge; "Nathan Spicer of Norwich & Sarah Clark, Jan. 17, 1775"

"The first Congregational Church was organized at Gloucester, Mass., in 1642, removing from thence in 1650 to New London. Consequently we would here correct the mistake made in the Preface of the First Book "Early Connecticut Marriages" and number this as the 10th instead of the 13th Congregational Church organization of the state."

Catherine lived to be 103 years & 8 months old! Quite a feat even by todays standards.
My original information showed Henry (Henrich) Filkins and Mary Runnels as Catherine's parents. Later information came about that Henry's brother Jabobus Filkins and his wife Eleanor Phillips are Catherine's parents. The error is probably due to the fact that both brother's had daughters named Catherine.

Catherine's birthdate is determined by the following;
On August 21, 1852 Catherine made an application for a widow's pension based on Nathan Spicer's service during the Revolutionary War. She deposed that she would be 87 years old on January 5, 1851.

It was also stated that because of age and infirmity she did not remember much about Nathan's service during the war, however she believed Nathan served as a Militia Volunteer for 9 months or more, and that he often spoke of Fort Herkimer, Fort Stanwix [sic] and Johnsontown. Catherine's affidavit also gives her marriage date to Nathan Spicer as February 29, 1784, and that they had 2 sons by May 26, 1785 which indicates their first son was probably born in September 1784.
