STATE OF KENTUCKY, County of Barren: The affiant, J. F. MORTON, says he was late captain Company F, Twenty-first Regiment Kentucky Infantry Volunteers. He was well acquainted with DANIEL SPENCER, deceased, who was a private in said company and regiment. He was a man of good character and made a good soldier. He performed all the duties of a soldier up to his death. He died of small-pox at Campbellsville, Ky., in the fall of 1861. If he was not so mustered it was because he died before the regiment was mustered into the service. He was in one engagement, the "CY HUTCHINSON" fight in Barren County, Ky. Affiant knew said Spencer well and makes this declaration from his personal knowledge of the facts and his recollections of them at this date. This May 15, 1882. I have no interest in this claim. /s/ J. F. MORTON, Late Captain Company F, Twenty-first Kentucky. Sworn to and subscribed by J. F. Morton before me this 15th day of May, 1882, and I certify that the said affiant is a respectable citizen of Barren County, post office Hiseville, Ky., and is entitled to full faith and credit. I have no interest in his claim. /s/ W W Franklin, Clerk Barren County Court. {Seal}. STATE OF KENTUCKY, Barren County, ss: Personally came before me, clerk of the Barren county court, State aforesaid, GEORGE M. SPENCER, who being duly sworn, deposes and says: I reside in Barren County, Ky.; my post-office is Slick Rock, and my age is forty-seven years. I was late private in Company F, Twenty-first Regiment Kentucky Infantry Volunteers, and am a son of DANIEL SPENCER, who was a private in the same company and regiment. My father died in said company and regiment at Campbellsville, Ky., on or about the ___ day of November, 1861. My father entered this company and regiment early in the war and was enlisted and enrolled and performed all the duties of a soldier. He was mustered into the State service, but he took small-pox and died before our regiment was mustered into the United States service. While our regiment was encamped at Campbellsville, Ky., my father was detailed to go to Lebanon, Ky., after some mules. At Lebanon he caught small-pox, of which disease he died shortly after he returned to camp at Campbellsville, Ky. About a month after my father died our regiment moved from Campbellsville to Green River Bridge, where all the soldiers of the regiment were regularly mustered into the service of the United States. My father drew his clothes and $13 and pay from the State of Kentucky for his services for one month. I came home on a furlough and father sent $12 of his money to my mother, MARTHA A. SPENCER, by me. I know he was recognized by the Government of the United States as a soldier from the day of his enlistment. He was in one fight before his death. It was the fight at CY HUTCHERSON's, in Barren County, Ky., in which Capt. Smith TAYLOR, of Company F, Twenty-first Regiment Kentucky Infantry Volunteers was killed. I have no interest in this claim. /s/ GEORGE M [his mark] SPENCER. Sworn to and subscribed before me by George M. Spencer, and I certify that said Spencer is a respectable citizen of Barren County, Ky., and is entitled to full faith and credit and that I havae no interest in this claim. Given under my hand this 17th day of April, 1882. /s/ W. W. Franklin, Clerk Barren County Court. Attest: J. B. LESLIE, M L PEDIGO. End of file.
