Past and Present of Muskingum County, by J. Hope Sutor, Chicago, 1905. (Excerpted):

Daniel Spicer, father of our subject, was born in Pennsylvania, about 1787, and served his country as a soldier in the was of 1812. He arrived in Muskingum county in 1815, finding here an unimproved district, in which there were few settlements, the work of progress and development lying largely in the future. He entered one hundred and sixty acres of land from the government in 1820, and it was upon this farm that Washington Spicer was reared. Daniel Spicer at once began the cultivation of his land, cutting away the timber and planting the fields. For a number of years he was actively identified with agricultural interests in Muskingum county and he also owned land in Hocking and Jackson counties, Ohio, in addition to his one hundred and sixty acres in this county. Eventually he sold his Ohio property and removed to Illinois, his death occurring in Wayne county, that state, in 1861. He was married twice and had nine children. He had a son Benjamin by his first marriage and those of his second marriage are: John, David, Jacob, Joseph, Washington, William, Elizabeth and Catherine, twins, Mary Jane and Naomi. Of these four are yet living.

". . . Daniel Spicer, the father of Joseph, was born in Pennsylvania in 1788, and died in Wayne County, Ill., in 1862. He served in the War of 1812.
