The late Bill Thompson mentions Samuel Spencer in his History and Legend of Breckinridge County, Kentucky (1976; McDowell Publications) in the Chapter "McDaniels". On page 60 is a picture of the old Sam Spencer home near McDaniels.

I quote from the book on page 61: "Bill McDaniels lived in the fort the rest of his life. He was a real pioneer and an expert Indian fighter. He was with the group of settlers who went into Illinois and dislodged the Indians from the Saline Creek settlement. During these first two years he and Samuel Spencer became great friends."

"Spencer, because of his bravery and shredness as an Indian fighter, was held in the highest esteem by Bill Hardin."

Page 63: "A few years later, after the danger of attack by the Indians had subsided, Sam Spencer came into the Forks of Rough and started a settlement here, naming it in honor of his friend and Indian figher, Bill McDaniels. Sam Spencer and his descendents have been prominent in the McDaniels community until the present. Mr. Willie Spencer, who is the adopted son of Mrs. Viola and Robert Spencer II, the grandson of Robbie Spencer I, and the great-grandson of Sam Spencer owns the farm and the house that Indian fighter, Sam, built, when he moved to the Forks of Rough."

Subject: [KYBRECKI] Samuel Spencer born around 1775 in Ky in 1801 Breckinridge

Can anyone place this SAMUEL SPENCER? Could he be the same as MICHAEL
SPENCER who married for the second time to HANNAH MATTINGLY in Breckinridge
co., Ky. in 1815?
May 11, 1801
Breckinridge County KY
SAMUEL and KATHERINE, his wife, to JOEL TULLIS for 30 pounds, 3 lots in
Hardinsburg.

The 1800 Tax List lists SAMUEL SPENCER Breckinridge 8/19/1800.
The 1820 census for Breckinridge co., Ky lists the following:
SAMUEL SPENSOR (this is how it appeared on a typed Internet census list)
Males:
1 between the ages of 0 and 10
3 between the ages of 10 and 16
1 between the ages of 16 and 26
1 between the ages of 45 and +

Females:
2 between 0 and 10
1 between 16 and 26
1 between 45 and +

I have listed the following, which could be his (Samuels) children but so
far are assigned to Michael until I have proof either way or some other way.

JOHN born about 1793
SAMUEL born about 1795
WILLIAM born about 1798
ROBERT born about 1805
JOSIAH born about 1808
JAMES born about 1813
POLLY (MARY) born about 1802
ELIZABETH born about 1810
NANCY born about 1812
BARBARA born about 1814
