Also on the 1860 Oneida census, George & Saphronia Spencer with children Ida, William & Henry. George W. goes to war, 117 Oneida. On return they move to Seneca Michigan and add Albert.. 1870 census, MI., Cordelia living with mar. dau. Electa Whipple in Kent Co., Grand Rapids. 1880 census Cordelia living in Seneca MI. with son George W. Spencer and wife Sophronia. Cordelia had mar. David F. Spencer between 1870 and 1880, David granting full dower to his farm for Cordelia`s care (ill with long term ague-malaria). Both were in their later 60`s when they married. David died Dec. 6, 1879. Two corrections to the two Spencer genealogies. The pioneer history book of Oneida has Cordelia dead around 1850, according to her son Elias. She lived on in NY. and MI. untill her death in 1888, and was returned to NY, Oneida, to be buried with her 1st husband and father of her children, Ephraim Spencer , b. ! Litchfield Ct. The second correction is to Flora Clark`s 4 Spencer Bros. to N. England.genealogy. Under the line of the brother Michael Spencer go to David F. Spencer in the index, the real identity of Cordelia Spencer. A rearrangement of David F. Spencer`s wives needs to include Sally (Sarah) Spencer who came with him to Ohio in 1845, shown on 3 census in Ohio, Fulton Co., Gorham Twp, Village of Fayette, was mother of his children b. after 1840 with good evidence, and buried with him at Pleasant View Cemetery at Fayette Village, on line. If there ever was a Lucretia, she did not go to Ohio and die there as David`s wife as the Flora Clark Genealogy states. This error has been circulated for half a century at least and may well go back to a genealogist of 1889 who wrote about the line, only to be copied through time as fact. Wendell Spencer
