Joshua Spencer 1765-1844
(Jul 06
Red)
My great-, great-, great-grandfather is said to have been born in England in 1765, emigrated with parents at about age 5 to Pennsylvania. Parents killed by Indians/British about 1775. Any Spencer family in England with a missing Joshua? No record of passage of a Joshua to the American Colonies in 1770. His origin a mystery.
