SPAULDING.
EDWARD1 SPAULDING, d. Feb. 26, 1670; m. (1) Margaret - [d. Aug., 1640]; (2) probably in 1642, Rachel [d. about 1670]. Accompanied by his wife and two or more children he came to America, probably from Lincolnshire, England, about 1619, remaining briefly in Virginia, then to Barbadoes for some years, but settling about 1634 at Braintree, Mass., where he was made freeman in 1640. He was one of the early Proprie- tors of Chelmsford, Mass., in 1653, and was upon the first board of selectmen of that town.
ANDREW2 (Edward1), b. Nov. 19, 1652; d. May 5, 1713; m. Aug. 30, 1674, Hannah, dau. of Henry1 Jefts of Billerica, Mass. [d. Jan. 21, 1730]. He was his father's youngest son, but received the paternal home by bequest. He was a deacon.
ANDREW3 (Andrew2, Edward1), b. Mar. 25, 1678; d. Nov. 7, 1753; m. Feb. 5, 1701, Abigail Warren [d. May 12, 1768]. He passed his life in his native town, and like his father, he held the office of deacon.

1. ANDREW4 (Andrew®, Andrew2, Edward1), b. Dec. 8, 1701 ; d. July 1, 1768; m. (1) Hannah - [d. Feb. 11, 1744]; (2) Nov. 26, 1745, Mehitable Chandler (W. 1), widow of Robert Crosby. He lived in that part of Chelmsford which was set off to form Westford. He was one of the Masonian grantees of New Ipswich, and is said to have had a dwelling-house upon the southeast corner of XII: 1, S. R., which was one of the lots assigned him, and he is also said to have owned XI: 3, S. R., long occupied by his kinsmen. The duration of his res- idence in New Ipswich is uncertain. His name is upon the list of original members of the church formed in 1760, and it is found upon the tax-lists from the incorporation of the town until 1764, but it may have been only as a non-resident land- owner. It seems probable that his advancing years soon left little vigor for pioneer labors, so that he chose to return to Westford. His name upon the tax-list cannot be certainly dis- tinguished from that of his son Andrew, who certainly suc- ceeded to his land in due time.
2. JAMES4 (Andrew3, Andrew2, Edward1), b. Oct. 27, 1714; d. about 1790; m. (1) Anne - [d. May 24, 1770] ; (2) Jan. 15, 1771, Eunice Fassett of Westford [d. Mar., 1812]. He came from Westford to New Ipswich only about three years before his death, and it is doubtful whether he did not return to his previous home for many years, even before the close of that brief period. His place of residence during those years is uncertain. His wife died in New Ipswich.
HENRY4 (Henry®, Andrew2, Edward1), b. Nov. 22, 1704; d. Apr. 29, 1792; m. (1) Feb. 1, 1725, Lucy Proctor [d. June 1, 1742]; (2) Apr. 27, 1743, Marah Adams. He resided in Chelmsford. He served in the relief expedition to Fort William Henry in 1757.
THOMAS (Henry3, Andrew', Edward1), b. July 30, 1707; d. Aug. 13, 1795; m. Mary Adams [b. July 1, 1707; d. Oct., 1788]. He res. in Chelms- ford.
3. ANDREW5 (Andrew4, Andrew3, Andrew2, Edward1), b. Jan. 6, 1729; m. Mar. 25, 1757, Abigail Martin of Pepperell, Mass. He came from Westford to New Ipswich, probably at about the time of his father's death, but appears to have re- mained only a few years before removing to Plainfield. Chil- dren :

Mar. 3, 1841]. In his early manhood he settled in Lyme, but according to tradition was so dissatisfied with his associates that he removed to Ashburnham, Mass., and settled upon the elevated range terminating in Watatic Mountain at so short a distance from the state line that his social relations were with his New Ipswich neighbors, and his children were allowed to attend the neighboring New Ipswich school. He attended church in New Ipswich for sixty-five years, although he did not live within the town limits until after his second marriage, when he lived upon his wife's land, (VII : 3, S. R.) He served in the Revolution at the time of the Concord alarm, and later in 1777. Children :
