Louisa Anderson was born to June and Hannah Anderson in 1815 in Liberty County Georgia. She and her family were owned by William J. Anderson of Liberty County. Louisa Anderson is one enslaved ancestor whose extended family has been vastly uncovered by the writings of her brother, Rev. Robert Anderson. It is likely that David met Louisa before 1835, because their first known son, Damon Spencer was born in 1835. The two would have a total of twelve children: Damon, Mary, Joseph, Emanuel, Irene, Cyrus (Sy, Cy, or Si), Abraham, Dolly, Thomas, Lilla, George, and Dinah.

Between 1866 and 1867 the Spencers and Golden families relocated to Brooks County GA and settled in the Dry Lake area of the county. It must have occurred before 1867 because there is evidence of David and Damon Spencer participating in the 1867 election in Brooks County Georgia. This is notable, as freed African Americans did not have protected voting rights from 15th amendment until 1870. By 1880, all of David and Louisa’s children were adults and started families of their own in Brooks County. All of them would remain in Brooks until their deaths except Irene Spencer Jones who was the first in the family to start a wave of relocation to Chester, PA in 1917. David Spencer’s date of death is unknown except that it occurred between 1880 and 1900. Louisa Anderson died between 1910 and 1920.

David Spencer was born between 1815 and 1820 in Virginia. Details about his early years are largely unknown outside of two documents that have insight to his whereabouts. It is fact that he was sold to Abram Hunter in Burke County in 1822. The Spencers of Liberty County were a very prominent family that had several connections with the Hunters of Burke County. It is plausible that somewhere between 1822 and the mid 1830s David was sold to the Spencers from the Hunters. It is in Liberty County that David Spencer met Louisa Anderson.
The Gauldens and the enslaved families relocated to Lowndes County GA until Johnathan Gaulden died in 1854. Upon his death, his estate was inventoried, and divided amongst his heirs. It is believed that David and his family were bequeathed to the daughter of Johnathan Gaulden, Cornelia. Cornelia Gaulden married Col. William Dilworth and moved to Jefferson Fl.
By 1866, all enslaved persons were emancipated and the Civil War was over. On September 2, 1866 the second piece of pre 1870 textual evidence shows a mass marriage of several freed men in women in Jefferson FL. It shows David Spence and Louisa Golden, Damon Spence and Louvinia Golden, and Kane Golden and Rachel Lane officially being married. It is common knowledge that all three of these couples were living as husband and wife pre 1865, but enslaved people were not allowed to be married.
