Bizarre History of Cape May > Assemblyman was cast out for absences, but voters cast him back in
Written by Jacob Schaad Jr. Tuesday, April 23, 2013 12:10 pm
Along with the Hands, the Hughes and the Leamings who made an early impact on the history of Cape Island there was another family of father, son and grandson whose lives and careers were linked for three centuries from colonial days until after the Revolutionary War.
They were the Spicer family and all three were named Jacob. Written history has treated them kindly, although the son, Jacob the second, was to complain in his 39-page will of “the unjust treatment by the populace” and that he was “vilely defamed and grossly abused on account of the natural privileges of which he claimed to be entirely ignorant.” What those abuses were has not been expounded.
