Excerpt from Genealogical Sketch of the Descendants of Samuel Spencer of Pennsylvania The preparation of the present sketch, extending as it has over almost two decades, has been attended with many difficulties. The materials were gathered in the intervals of other and most exacting labors, which effectually prevented any attempt at continuous and sustained work. As was inevitable where much the larger part of the work was carried on by correspondence, the materials were often tardy in coming in, and faulty and incomplete when received. Of many remote branches of the family, particularly those which were transplanted to Virginia, and later to Ohio and the middle West, it has seemed impossible to obtain full and reliable information. Like so many others who have moved West, the old life and the old kindred have been left behind, the home ties have been snapped, and the thread we have been following comes to an abrupt end.
