• Notes

  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." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Nathan served in the same company with his younger brother Michael. "...from Schoharie Creek they marched on to Johnstown, New York, stayed there some considerable time...here Captain Penn joined the regualr troops....[Nathan & Michael's company] was sent to Herkimer house which was built of brick and was fortified...[It was here they] joined Captain Simeon Newell's company...[They] marched from Herkimer up the Mohawk River to Fort Herkimer on the German Flats..."
