Hiram Spencer

1861 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Hiram Spencer  [1, 2, 3]
  Born	31 May 1861	Gilford, Tuscola County, Michigan   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Valerie Atkinson shows him as the son of Joseph SPENCER and Almanza HOPKINS. She notes that the family bible instead shows his date of birth as May 31, 1861, contradicting the 1880 census, with a May 1863 birthdate. That same census shows his with the middle initial E. She indicates that in 1870 and 1880, he was listed on the census in Gilford, Tuscola County, Michigan. In 1900, he was in Clayton, Arenac County, and in 1910 in Moffat, Arenac County.
