Benjamin was a survivor of the revolutionary war.<br /> Benjamin married Mary Winkler in Lincoln County in 1827. They later moved to Burke County. The year of Benjamin Spencer death was 1843 according to his military records and the testimony of his wife when she applied for his pension benefits, which she was awarded. Here is my brick wall! I am looking for information that will lead to the identity of my g grandfather, (Monroe Spencer). My mother and her brothers always maintained that Monroe was a quarter Indian, of this I have no doubt. On 1850 US census, Monroe was listed, giving his age as 2 years old, meaning he was born in 1848. The year of Benjamin s death and the year of Monroe's birth supports my belief that Monroe was an illegitimate Child. According to Government Laws, Mary would have had to forfeit her pension benefits, reason enough not to remarry. For Monroe to have been a quarter Indian, his father would have had to be a half blood Indian, which means that Monroe's father was the son of a white man and an Indian woman. All this happened in or near , Upper Creek, Burke county, NC., If anyone knows the history of the area I would greatly appreciate hearing from you, at <a href="mailto:hawarlickc@aol.com.">hawarlickc@aol.com.</a><br /> PS, the only surname that shares the same DNA is, Clark-Clarke,.<br /> Thank You. </p> http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/topic/henry-adkins-and-ann-nancy-stanley#post-283 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 21:38:23 +0000 fsadkins 283@http://forums.northcarolinagenealogy.net/ <p>My ggg grandparents were Henry Adkins (1786 - 1866) and Ann Nancy Stanley (about 1776).
