The 10 famous Spicer Brothers of Hickman County,
sons of one James Spicer, 1816-1881, and Frances L. Spicer, 1819-1880, are
pictured above.
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. The famous sons reared their families here, many of whom still
live in Hickman County. They exerted considerable influence in the
community and left their mark as upright and honorable citizens and their
offspring still carry on the family influence and tradition.
