Kathern's first name has been spelled many ways in various records: Katherine, Catherine, Catharine, Kathern are 4 of them. In DAR records for John Spicer it is spelled Catherine. My family records spelled her name Kathern. In the History of the descendants of Peter Spicer this couple is called Jonathan and Kathern, no maiden name for her. See note below regarding maiden name.

--- on the 16th of February 1819 John Spicer obtained a certificate of pension from the department over which you preside. Which allowed him eight dollars per month. It appears that Spicer drawed his half years pension of the 4th of March 1838. That Spicer died on the 6th of August of the same year, which would make five months and two days which his Widow would be entitled to. He left a Widow 84 years old whose mental faculties are greatly impaired, so much so that if I am informed correctly it would be imprudent to administer the requisite Oath to enable her to draw the arrears of her Husbands pension. I want to know of you, if the Executor of her husbands estate (who is the son) could not draw for her, or what other means could be pursued to enable her to get his due. Any information you may deem proper to give will be thankfully acknowledged so that justice may be done to a superannuated old Lady.

Note re maiden name:
Contributor #47016594 sent me this regarding Kathern's name: "My Heritage" confirmed a smart match by Monika from Slovakia between her family tree and my family tree for Daniel Spicer naming his parents as John and Katherin Stark Spicer. "A mutually confirmed smart match means that it is fully validated". Quote from My Heritage. [by current memorial manager - not sure if it is just the "match" that is fully validated or that the data accuracy is validated . . . will try to confirm]
