Spencer Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spencer Records (1762-1847) was an early pioneer of the American Midwest, who moved with his large family as a boy in 1766 from the East Coast over the Appalachians into the area of Fort Pitt in Western Pennsylvania (now Pittsburgh), and after staying there a few years, the family moved down the Ohio River into Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. His interesting narrative of these travels, which he wrote in 1842 at the age of 80, is a first-hand account of the early settlement of the Midwest.
