Burial		At Spencer Cemetery in Lee County, Virginia, United States.

Misc		Parents... There is a William David Spencer, Sr but after immigrating he seems to have lived in South Carolina and died there too. How did he have our Joseph in Virginia? This also makes me wonder if the David in our William David people is correct! If William David in South Carolina is not relevant... Two out of three sons listed in a tree I'm looking at were born in South carolina. I've seen these South Carolina Spencers before but thought them irrelevant. YET I have DNA matches with 6 children of Mary DeRoachbroom (however it is spelled)which are the same ones as listed for Joseph Charles, who is fairly well documented.
Misc		DNA Match. 2024 Only a couple of days later Scott is down to 79! Scott has 84 DNA matches with Joseph Spencer b1738 with a HUGE list of children, including Freeman. 3 matches with William D. John and Moses most popular. Oh, all called half... 38 DNA matches with various children of Joseph Spencer b1738 all called half and I am the only one under William D Spencer. Elizabeth 1761 John D 1766 Patience 1770 Aaron 1772 Isaac Newton 1780 Moses 1786 George B Freeman? (1790-1854) January 2024 Scott using my tree 88 matches with multiple children, many called half He does have 4 under William D
Misc		Wife? Some have him married to Louisa Sarah Rencher (1712-1783)with no records.
Military		Captain? Not clear who or where the Captain was... Some records I see are for a Joseph Spencer who lives in Kentucky. Also are census records in Kentucky for a Joseph Spencer.^3,4
Residence	7 August 1820	In Lee, Virginia, United States.⁵
Residence	1830	In Lee, Virginia, United States.⁶
Will	1835	In Lee County, Virginia, United States. The record says it was written 10 Aug 1835 and I think the probate date is 16 Jan 1837. I cannot read the sale date - looks like, but can't be, in 1834. The summary is incorrect on the probate date - read the record His wife is listed as Jemima, (Mary DeRoachbloom died in 1816). names children John and Isaac Spencer.⁷

Daughter

Rosamond Courtney (b. 1710, d. 1730)

Birth	about 1690	In Northumberland County, Virginia, British America. I see 1673 and 1690¹
Marriage¹
Death	after 1757	In Virginia, British America.¹

Misc		Is he John James? and not a separate person?
Misc		Children. I'm only adding Rosamond Courtney b after 1710 to give her a proper home and not with a father who was dead when she was conceived.¹
