• Notes

  [Spicer Family File.FTW] 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.
