He was a relative of mine--not a direct ancestor, but on another line of descent. It's good to see a photo of him, I didn't know that one existed.

Dear Joe: While looking up (Hurlbuts) in the revolution, I accidently found Daniel Spencer.Daniel was at (the Flockie) in Schoharie, New York, to capture Adam Crysler an important Loyalist.The troop of horse(Americans) had 9 horses hit , three people wounded and Lt.Wirt, was killed.As I am related to Phillip, Adams brother..and with willhelm and John (brothers)and Adams friends, they received a warm welcome.There is no account of Adams forces being hurt, however the Americans(patriots) called it a Victory. Nice to see a picture of a participant. pete
