Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOSEPH3 SPENCER  (WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born February 20, 1814 in Burton upon Trent ,Staffordshire, England, and died February 27, 1890 in Spencer Ave. East end of Pittsburgh.  He married MARIA JACKSON 1844, daughter of THOMAS JACKSON and PHEBE COTTRELL.  She was born October 08, 1826 in Belper, Derbyshire, England, and died June 14, 1914 in Spencer and Homewood Ave. Pittsburgh Penn..

 

Notes for JOSEPH SPENCER:

Joseph Spencer came to America in1840 from England on the ship, Ada Elizabeth, arriving in Philadelphia Penn. The 1950 census shows him married  to Maria Spencer, maiden name Jackson. At that time they had one child, Maria, 5 years old. When he died, he was first buried in the Uniondale Cemetery in Pittsburgh, 2 years later, in 1892, he was removed and buried at the family plot at Homewood Cemetery at 1599 S. Dallas Ave. in Pittsburgh. This was done at the same time as one of his children, William Spencer and another infant, they were all moved together. They are all in Sec. 14, Lot A43. Joseph died of heart failure and dropsy at the age of 76.

  Joseph had learned the trade of making horseshoe nails from his father. After emmigrating to America he settled in Pittsburgh, Pa. and continued in this trade until May 1848, when he purchased the Bull's Head Hotel. He was the proprietor of this for 21 years. In 1859, he purchased the Adam Wood Steam Brewery at the corner of 24th and Smallman Sts., occupying a building 56 X 154 ft. and producing 8000 barrels a year. Renamed the Spencer and Garrard firm and later the Spencer, McKay and Co. Brewery, it eventually became the leading brewery of Pittsburgh, producing 60,000 barrels of ale in 1873-74, nearly double that of any other brewery in the city. In 1865, after a destructive fire, it was rebuilt and named the Phoenix Brewery.

  In July of 1869, he had changed his residency to a country seat-a fine fruit farm of 14 acres - at Homewood Station, on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which he purchased. Here he enjoyed the wealth he accumulated since his arrival in America, which he estimates at $500,000. This Spencer Farm was at Lincoln Ave. and included almost all of Homewood - later called Apple Hill-now at the site of Apple Ave. or Spencer Ave. ( this information from "The Manufactories and Manufacturers of Pennsylvania of the Nineteenth Century. Philadelphia: Galaxy Publishing Co. 1875  p240-241. Western Pa. Historical Society).

  Joseph's son-in-law Albert relates the story that Joseph enjoyed the sport of "prize-fighting." These were local, unprofessional , bare-handed bouts that he enjoyed taking part in.

Notes for MARIA JACKSON:

  Maria died of Exhaustion, according to death records from the cemetary. She is buried in Sec. 14, Lot A43.On Maria Spencer's probate notice, she left each of the daughters a house. They were each on Lincoln Ave. in Pittsburgh PA. , 1114 and 1112 and 1026. They were left to Harriet, Lillie and Annie. She lived to the age of 87 and had atleast 10 children. Maria and Joseph have a family plot at the Homewood Cemetary, with a tall obelisk with their names and the names of all their children inscribed on it. Also on the obelisk is the name of Martha Madeline Jackson, 1856-1864. Beings this was Maria's maiden name, perhaps it was a young sister. Maria belonged to the Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh. A large picture of her taken when she was about 80 years ago, shows her with her huge Bible. She is reading it for the picture. Their home was the "homestead" on Spencer Ave.When she died the Homestead was left to daughter Josephine.
