Notes:
Death: Garden Grove, located on Pottawattamie [Sac and Fox] land on the eastern bank of the Weldon Fork of the Grand River, was the first permanent settlement that served as a Mormon way-station from 1846 to 1852. Cabins which were supplied with well water served as a resting place for those who were unable to continue on westward. When the families were able to continue their journey, the cabin and surrounding grounds and fields served the next family to arrive from Nauvoo, Illinois during their westward journey. Died: The Spicer genealogy states that John died of "black tongue" in Nauvoo, IL, while on the road to Utah.

Married: The Spicer Genealogy says, "he is said to have raised a family of 13 children to maturity; no full list of their births has been found." The book then lists 12 children, including the Ebenezer which I have assigned to Nathan's brother Ebenezer. Online genealogists have included an Isaac that was not included in The Spicer Genealogy.
