NOTE from page 33:
These notes show that the name Spalding was very early introduced and extensively used in England and in Scotland. But whether the families were descended from one common ancestor, it is impossible to decide. The spelling of the name is quite uniformly the same— Spalding; and the given names, with the exception of one or two in the Maryland branch, like Benedict, are common to all the families, both in this country and in Great Britain. It is also to be noted that in the coats-of-arms the prevailing colors are the same, which would indicate a common origin. The introduction of u into the name, as Spaulding, is an Americanism,, and first appears in the wills of some of the children of the emigrant ancestor. As Edward Spalding was among the settlers of Braintree, it might be inferred that he came over in their company. But as to the family with which he was connected, or the county in England from which he came, nothing definite is known. The general tradition is that he came from Lincolnshire.
22 November 1738 Edward's will was probated.
He inherited the Canterbury homestead of his father, and according to Miss Larned "was the third settler within the present limits of Brooklyn" and that he bought land there in 1707. He was a member of the first committee of the Religious Society organized in 1731. His first child was born in Chelmsford, Massachusetts; the others in Canterbury, Connecticut, where he died. - [1]
