James Spicer was born in South Carolina September 24, 1816, a son of Thomas Spicer who was born in South Carolina and came to settle in Hickman County about 1840. The eldest son, Henry T. Spicer, was born a short time after the family moved to Hickman County.
The Spicers settled just north of Clinton and lived their lives in that community as outstanding farmers, and in some instances engaging in public business.
