My line is Caleb C Spencer, b. 1796 in Hartford, CT. Died 1850 in Clark County, IN. I am at a dead end with him at the moment.

Just an FYI that there is a Spencer Historical and Genealogical Society (SHGS) available for DNA testing. If you have a male Spencer to test, they will 'group' the results for you and advise of other matches, along with contact info for those matches.
I don't have a Caleb Spencer in my line. I looked at Rigby's "Early Spencers of Virginia" and found one reference for a Caleb Spencer b. 1801 in Burke Co., N.C. Not what you are looking for.
Suggestion - use Ancestry.com (at a library if you don't subscribe) and check out Amasa Spencer's line. You might be able to get that info by googling. The CT area makes me thing Caleb could be of that line.
Ancestry has an inquiry by Roberta Iiames:"I do not have a copy of the Four Spencer Brothers. I have been collecting all the information that I find in hope that I can attach my Caleb C. Spencer to his father." you might research that as well... She also wrote:My Caleb C. Spencer was born 25 Apr 1796 in Windsor, Conn. He married on 23 Jan 1822 to Clarissa B. Burr of Farmington, Conn. THey had a son Edward Monroe Spencer born in 1823. I don't think that Clarissa came to Ohio with Caleb. I suspect that she died in childbirth. In the city directory for Cincinnati, Ohio, 1825, Caleb C. is listed as a Carpenter born in Conn. Since the city directories were assembled the latter part of the preceding year, he would have had to be in Ohio in 1824. Edward never knew who is mother was. Caleb drowned in Clark Co., Indiana, on May 1850." ( There's quite a bit on Ancestry for one or more Caleb Spencer's.)
So it would appear that the two of you are researching the same person. I hope this message reaches you & has been of some help.
