HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BROOKLINE
Spaulding.
WILLIAM SPAULDING, Jr., settled in Raby, in 1772, coming here from Mason; as appears from the following entry in Raby's book of records: "William Spaulding and his wife Mary, William his son and Mary and Sibbel and and Josiah Betty Sarah and came to town in the month of Dec. 1772, and was warned out Feb. 7th, 1773 and they came last from the town of Mason." He was a son of William and Hepzibah (Blood) Spalding of Groton, Mass .; where he was born Apr. 4, 1732. In 1768, his name appears on the petition for Raby's incor- poration as one of its signers. At that time he was probably a non-resi- dent taxpayer in the Mile Slip, having his home in Mason. His farm in Raby was located in the northwest part of the town, northwest of and adjacent to the Benjamin Shattuck, Sr., place. Dec. 26, 1782, he sold his farm, or a portion thereof, to Benjamin Martin, of Stowe, Mass .; and the same year removed from Raby to Pepperell, Mass. In 1884, he re- moved from Pepperell to Norridgewalk, Me .; where his descendants are living at the present time. Both he and his son, William Jr., served in the War of the Revolution as soldiers for Raby. Their war records are given in a previous chapter. In 1777 he was a member of Raby's commit- tee of safety. He was moderator of the town in 1778, and constable in 1782. He m. in 1758, Mary, a dau. of Jonathan and Mary (Lakin) Green of Groton. By this marriage he had eight children; all of whom according to the "Spalding Memorial," were born in Groton. A state- ment which may be correct, although the probabilities would seem to indicate that several of them were born in Mason.
