"May have been born 16 Jun 1750. Thomas Spencer, Jr. entered the
Revolutionary War as 2nd Lieutenant, Capt. John Martin's
Company, 4th Virginia Regiment, Continental Army, on 23 February
1776; appointed 1st Lieutenant on September 28, 1776; resigned

months; promoted to Captain, and then Major, serving in
Lafayette's Division, Brigade of General Robert Lawson of Prince
Edward County; participated in battles of Brandywine,
Germantown, Guilford Court House, and surrender of Cornwallis at
Yorktown. Widow Lucy (Watkins) Spencer applied for pension on
April 24, 1838, stating her late husband, Thomas Spencer, had
served as a Lieutenant, Captain, and Major, having enlisted in
Charlotte County where he died July 4, 1806, total service 21
months, 28 days in the Virginia Line. Among those mentioned in
her application were Edward Watkins of Petersburg, VA, her
brother; Major Samuel F. Spencer (Thomas' brother); Col. William
B. Watkins of Charlotte (daughter Susannah's husband); and
William I. (or J.) Watkins, J. P., of Charlotte County. Thomas
Spencer Jr became the guardian of his nephew Thomas Harris
Spencer 1 Nov 1784 after the death of Sion. Thomas became his
niece Elizabeth Julia's guardian 6 Mar 1786 after Sion died. An
1836 list of the heirs of Thomas, names Elizabeth Richardson,
Martha Morton, Mary H. Allen, Sarah Watkins, Sion Spencer,
William W. Spencer, and the children of Thomas Jefferson
Spencer, dec'd. viz. James, Thomas and Lucy Ann Spencer. Thomas
Spencer, Jr. appeared in Charlotte County Tax Lists for 1779 and
1782, in the latter with 3 white titheables and 8 blacks. Thomas
Spencer, Jr. wrote his will on April 3, 1798, when he was about
to have an ear operation and thought he might not survive it.
The will was proved on September 1, 1806 in Charlotte County.
The 1810 census for Charlotte County listed a Mrs. Lucy Spencer
with 1 female over 45, 2 males and 1 female 16-26, and 2 females
10-16.
Col. Thomas Spencer, the progenitor of the Spencer family, was
born in 1751 and died in 1806. He entered as Second Lieutenant,
Captain John Martin's Company 4th Virginia Regiment of the
Continental Army for the War of the Revolution on February 23,
1778; later joined the Army and served as First Lieutenant for
eighteen months and was promoted successively to Captain and
Major, serving in the Brigade of General Robert Lawson of Prince
Edward County, in Lafayette's Division; participated in the
battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Guilford Court House and in
the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. Col. Spencer married at
the old Spencer homestead at then Fariston P. O. in Charlotte
County. His two wives were sisters. His 8 children were all by
his second wife.
This day, Captain Josiah Le Grand of Charlotte Co., personally
appeared before me a J. of P. for said county--made statement of
facts, commencing with his own knowledge and belief, touching
the military service of the late Col. Thomas Spencer of
Charlotte Co. in the Rev. war:--That he (deponent) is 74 years
of age, and was a Soldier, and attached to the Commissary
department. That he was intimately acquainted with the said Col.
Spencer, while in service; that he has distinct recollection
when said Spencer entered the Contl. army as a Lieutenant in the
company commanded by Capt. John Brent. That in the month of
March, he marched from Charlotte Co. for Portsmouth, Va., served
there awhile, and was ordered to the North. In early part of
1780, said Spencer returned from the Northern army, either on
furlough or as supernumerary. After absence from Charlotte Co.
for more than three years, he saw said Spencer shortly after his
return, and was informed that he still belonged to the Army.
At this time great exertion was being made to raise volunteers
for the army, and deponent entered in the Brigade of Genl.
Lawson. That he marched from Morris Old Ordinary, in the county
of Prince Edward, in month of June, 1780, and while on their
march in the direction of Petersburg, Va. said Thomas Spencer
made his appearance in the county of Amelia, and assumed the
command of Major of the Regt. to which deponent was attached.
The said Regt. was stationed in the neighborhood of Petersburg
while deponent was in the service, and he was discharged in
Nov., 1780, being the said Major Thomas Spencer in Lawsons
Brigade.
The said deponent again entered the army in Feb., 1781 and was
attached to the commissary department. His duties called him to
headquarters of the Southern army in N. C. and a few days after
the battle of Guilford, he again met Major Thomas Spencer in the
army.
That after the war, Thomas Spencer was engaged in the military
service. That he was an excellent officer, remarkably fond of
military life, and delighted in the service of his country. He
was considered a bold, active, and efficient officer. Signed,
