Hi Shirley, Yes, we met at the Nelson Reunion. I was going to e-mail you this afternoon. I will tell you now what I have found. Since you traced John Spencer back. I decided to trace Taylor Spencer. James Anwdrew Spencer (born 21 Aug 1872 Phelps co MO.) Married #1 Ogla Strauss. 2 Ch. Taylor P. and Bertha. James A married #2 Bertha Gibbs. 3 Ch: Frank, Elsie and Glen Andrew. James Andew is the son of James S. Spencer and Sarah JaneTurner. James S. Spencer was born in IL. His fater was born in Ohio. I know of 6 children from the 1880 census - all born in Missouri. Mary E. (1879) - Hellen (1871) - James Andrew (-1872) - John (1875) and Samuel (1877). I don't see any connection now. If I find out anything else, I will let you know. Good Luck Bertha King
