Article (Aug. 11, 1853) in the NY Christian Advocate and Journal:

June 2 In Raisin, Michigan, Rev. URIEL SPENCER, aged 57. He was early left an orphan, and consequently was self-educated, and self-reliant. He, however, attained unto and maintained a
high position in society. Thirty years ago he was appointed to travel as an itinerant in the M. E.
Church, and laboured in this work for about a year, when his voice so far failed as that he was
compelled to desist and take a local relation; and in this capacity he served the church, according
to his ability, until the close of life. His release from frequent sufferings (of which he was a subject
for many years) was received with gladness, and his final departure was one of holy Christian
triumph. J.F.D.

On Sept. 5th 1799 an order on the treasury, in favor of Jordan"for boarding Uriah Spencer.........."
Tioga--In the meantime, however, a new township (now inTioga county) Had been erected by the
court of Lycoming an dcalled Tioga. It embraced a agreat territory which was largely a wilderness.
It appears in the enumeration as follows:..........Uriah Spencer, farmer, 30........."

General Commission on Archives and History, !The United Methodist Church Post Office Box 127, Madison, New Jersey 07940 !Dear Ms. Fearnow:

This is in response to your request for information on Rev. Uriel Spencer.

The only record we have found on him is a short obit published in the New York Christian Advocate
and Journal, August 11, 1853, a copy of which we are sending you with this letter. Following the
lead in the obit, "thirty years ago", ie. 1823, we looked up the listings of ministers from 1813 to 1827,
in all the more than a dozen conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church during that period and
the only Spencer in
the lists was a Robert Spencer who entered the ministry in 1824 in the Ohio conference and, unlike Uriel, was ordained. Note that we made a great allowance in terms of time (14 years) and place
coverage (all the annual conferences during that period) because we wanted to be sure that if indeed
he was itinerated, his name should have appeared in the ordination process. What this means then
that Pastor
Uriel Spencer as implied in the obit was a local pastor, not ordained and indeed lots of Methodist
pastors especially during that era fell into this category.  But perhaps, as alluded also in the obit,
his health prevented him from doing full time ministry even in this category.

We hope that the above material will help you in your research. Our best wishes. Sincerely yours, Research Assistant, Genealogy Service, The Methodist Library.  PS The obit places his death,
June 2, but since it was published on August 11, your date may be more accurate.

^Clark does not mention Mary as a wife of Uriel.

Wyckoff, Spencer/Copies of letters and papers in possession of Mrs. Florence Spencer Whelan, Tecumseh, Mich.

After the death of Sarah, Uriel Spencer married Elizabeth Holdridge and had two more children;
Martha , who married John Pease; and Mary Emma, who married Rev. Henry Wright, a descendant
of the Guilford, Conn., Wrights.  After Uriel Spencer's death in 1853 his widow Elizabeth married
Lewis Horton, of Royalton, NY, and died in Royalton, in 1872.  Uriel Spencer, son of Nathan and
Lydia (Doolittle) Spencer, was born in Bristol, Ontario Co., NY, April 30, 1796. He was a Methodist Episcopal Minister, in Ontario CO, NY, but having lost his voice, was unable to continue that work
and emigrated to the wilds of Ohio, where, because of his superior education, he was soon elected
to public office, was a justice of the peace, and was county auditor of Lucas county.

He was received on trial in the Genesee, NY, conference at it's annual session in Westmoreland beginning July 15, 1823. He was appointed as second preacher with Gideon Lanning to Catherine, Schuyler Co. He was discontinued the next year, at the session held in Lansing beginning
July 25, 1824. His son Nathan was born April 11, 1824, but whether at Catherine, or at Cohocton
where family tradition says, I do not know. Uriel Spencer owned land at various places in Ontario
Co., and whether his family went to Catherine with him or not, we do not know. July 11, 1812, he
bought one half acre of land in Williamson, Ontario Co., NY. (now in Wayne Co.). October 13, 1834, Uriel and Sarah Spencer sold land in Canadice, Ontario Co., NY to the amount of $1400.00.

After Uriel's marriage to Elizabeth Holdridge he moved, in 1845, to Raisin Township, Lenawee
County, Michigan, where he died June 2,1853. He is buried in the northeast corner lot of the
Raisin Presbyterian Cemetery, and his son James beside him.  James died unmarried, in early manhood. Mary Hancock, unmarried, daughter of his daughter Esther, is also buried on this same
lot, also Rev. Henry and Mary Emma (Spencer) Wright and their unmarried daughter Elizabeth.
 

My father told me that Uriel's first wife, Sarah Wyckoff, was buried on a sandy ridge in the
woods of Lucas County, Ohio, that the location of the grave had been lost. It was a bitter
winter day when she was buried. Her casket was carried on the shoulders of men who broke
through the ice of a small stream as they went. The old records of Lenawee County, Michigan,
show that in 1845 Uriel Spencer owned the north east quarter of section twenty-seven of Raisin township. From this seventy acres in the northwest quarter of this quarter was sold to his son,
Nathan Spencer.  Here Nathan Spencer built his house, and here his children were born, and
my brother and I were also born there. Uriel Spencer never lived on Sec. 27, but built a large
brick house on his wife's property, sec. 22, one half mile north, and died there in 1853. At the
time of his death he was making preparations to move to his own property, and the widow and
children soon after did move there, and later Rev. Henry Wright's family. At the time that Rev.
Wright moved away there were numerous things stored in the attic, including two large
illustrated Bibles, which likely contained family records that would be of interest if the Bibles
could be located. This place is only five or six miles from where I now live and I have tried to
find the Bibles, but the house in NE corner of the section has been rebuilt and I have been
unsuccessful. If they could be found they should give more information on the children of
William Wyckoff and Isabella Covenhoven.

Copies of letters and papers in possession of Mrs. Florence Spencer Whelan, Teumseh, Mich.

Uriel Spencer's will mentions wife, Elizabeth; daughter, Esther Hancock (who died in May,
just before her father, near Delta, Ohio, and left a small girl, Mary Hancock, mentioned above);
and daughter, Sarah J. (should be I.) Spencer, who is to be paid " The amount of money I
received from her Grandfather's estate for her."; and mentions, also, son Nathan. No other
heirs are mentioned in this will, although I know from  personal knowledge that there were
others. The "Grandfather" mentioned must have been William Wyckoff, and perhaps a search
of the settlement of his estate might yield something of interest. The other grandfather,
Nathan Spencer of Bristol, NY, died while Uriel was young, and his estate was probated in
1808, on file in Canandaigua, NY.

There were seven heirs of Uriel Spencer, besides the widow. In the diary of his son, Nathan,
my grandfather, which diary I have, under date of October 24, 1853, I find "Judge Stacy
informed us that Peter's little girl was heir to one seventh."  Peter's little girl was Mary,
daughter of Esther Spencer and Peter Hancock, mentioned above. Besides Mary and
the widow, Elizabeth, there were: Lydia, wife of Horace Pease; Sarah J.[I], youngest child,
not married at this time; William, the oldest son; Nathan, my grandfather; and Martha and
Mary Emma, children of the second wife. This shows that, besides Esther and James, the
seventh child of Sarah Wyckoff, unknown to me, had died before the father, Uriel Spencer.

P. 239 The first Methodist preacher in the vicinity was Rev. Uriel Spencer who settled a few
miles east of Wauseon in 1835 or 36. He had to give up regular ministry because of throat
trouble and came here--and preached occasionally.

Uriel Spencer to Emma dau. of James Donaldson.

The first school taught in the Western part of York township was that in the home of Rev.

Letter from Elfrieda Jewell

Swanton, Ohio 43558
October 17, 1996
In response to our letter of Sept 26, I will try to do best I can. I have copied out by hand the bits
and pieces. As to your question of newspaper's iln area in 1850's. If there were any there is no
record of papers. Deta was supposed to have one back then. The earliest we have is either 1868
or 1872 or 1880 have to r. this. Most of our co. records were lost in a fire 14 or 15 of July of 1864.
The early land records are recopied from Lucas Co. The Census we have on Microfilm 1850 to
1920. Marriages in books, including a list though we're out of some books. Bits & pieces in
history books. I copied by hand most of them for you. Thought would be a write up with his
being a early settler but none.
 

At the time Sarah Wyckoff died, that half of Fulton co was Lucas co yet. Fulton Co became
a county in 1850. Marriages start 1865 and births and deaths in1867. Newspapers started
sometime after that. I believe Sarah was buried in Fowler Cem. or Burkibill Cem. or on own
farm. No record of this. Fowler Cem. no longer there and several others all gone in that area.

This is main stuff I can find at this time, if you wish more it's $5.00 an hour plus copies cost
and postage. I do only Fulton Co research though. State exactly. Sincerely, Elfrieda Jewell

given about the date of his license to perform marriages or if he had a previous license from another jurisdiction.)

Lost and Found: Birth, Death, Marriage, and Lawsuit Records in Lucas County, Ohio compiled by
Linda R. Timpe and Beverly Todd Reed provided no listings for the above.

Tombstone Inscriptions of Lucas County, Ohio compiled by Northwestern Ohio Genealogical
Society, 1988 did not list any of the above. It is a reading of many of the cemeteries in Lucas
County, but not the large ones such as Forest Cemetery in Toledo.

I called Forest Cemetery which is the largest and oldest Cemetery in Toledo and they said they
did not have a burial listed for Uriel or Urial Spencer or either of his wives. They might be buried
in Fulton county if that is where he was residing at the time of his death in 1853.

The Local History and Genealogy Department of the Library has an obituary file for the Toledo
Blade from 1835 to the present. There was no listing for any of the above."

                          FATAL ACCIDENT
Mrs. Betsy Mikesell Shot Dead by Her Son.

Our Town was thrown into excitement Tuesday afternoon by
the news that Mrs. Betsy Mikesell, widow of James Mikesell,
who resided two miles west of town, had been shot dead by her
son, Edward Mikesell. Coroner Bennett immediately repaired
to the spot to investigate the matter. It appears that deceased
and her son (he being the only child) were the only persons on
the premises at the time of the shooting. According to the
statements of the young man he had shot twice at a chicken,
missing it both times and while putting a cap on the gun for
another shot it was discharged, the ball going in at an open
window of the house, a distance of about five rods, entered
the back of his mother's head, killing her instantly. The skull
where the bullet entered, was terribly mashed and broken. The
bullet patch was found embedded in the brain and grains of
powder were found on the back of the neck and head, near
where the ball entered. The gun was an ordinary (small-ball)
squirrel rifle. The Coroner has deferred a decision for a few
days, in order to further investigate the matter.
The accident has thrown a gloom over the entire
neighborhood, the deceased having been a resident of this
township for over twenty years, and was highly respected
by all who knew her.

He moved from Holmes county to Fulton county in 1844, and settled  on the farm (about two miles northwest of Wauseon) upon which he has resided until his death, which occurred Tuesday, June 22, 1886, making  him 79 years old.         After coming to Fulton county he united with the U.B. church, and  was afterward quite prominently connected with the M.E. church.         He was a very industrious man as the farm which he cleared up  from a vast wooded tract, will show. He was genial, social and kind  hearted and many a time has he befriended his fellowman. His death  has taken away another of our oldest and most respected citizens.  The funeral was held at the farm residence, Thursday, June 24, and  the remains laid to rest in the Bayes Cemetery.
