Kathleen, I have a little bit of information on some Spencers in my files. Could this possibly be the Jerome Spencer that you were looking for? 1. JEROME H.4 SPENCER (JOHN3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born October 1834. He married SUSAN CAROLINE Bef. 1863. She was born Abt. 1843. Notes for JEROME H. SPENCER: 1880 Mineral County, WV census, printed version, page 844, family #F024: Jerome H. Spencer 43 farmer VA VA VA S. Caroline Spencer, wife 37 VA VA VA Mary E. Spencer, dau 17 VA VA VA Sarah M.

WV WV VA John Spencer, son May 1871 - 29 single WV WV WV Berta M. Spencer, dau. Apr. 1877 - 23 " WV WV WV Osa (?) Spencer, son Aug. 1884 - 15 " WV WV WV There is a Jerome H. Spencer buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery near Keyser, WV. with a birth date as 2-21-1837 and date of death as 6-18-1916. I don't know if this is the same Jerome or not. Notes for SUSAN CAROLINE: There is a Susan C. Spencer buried in the Bailey Cemetery in Mineral County, WV. She was the wife of J. H. Spencer, she was born on March 15, 1843 and died July 10, 1885. I don't know it this is the correct Susan or not. Her last name might be Fleek, married October 7, 1861 in Allegany County, MD. Her maiden name might also be Fleck, Flack or Flake. However, I believe that Fleek is probably correct. Children of JEROME SPENCER and SUSAN are: i. MARY E.5 SPENCER, b. Abt. 1863. ii. JEROME H. SPENCER, b. Abt. 1864, Mineral Co., WV.; d.
