(VII) Dr. James Spalding, third son of Deacon Reuben (2) and Jerusha (Carpenter) Spalding, was born in Sharon, Vermont, March 10, 1792, died March 15, 1858. He obtained a good common school education, and at the age of seventeen years began the study of medicine with Dr. Eber Carpenter, of Alstead, New Hampshire, at the same time took private lessons in Greek and Latin. At the age of twenty years he was graduated M.D. at Dartmouth Medical Institution. He practiced two years in Alstead with Dr. Car- penter, then practiced for a time in Clare- mont, Vermont, but yielding to the solicitation of friends removed to Montpelier, Vermont. Though but a boy he had seen much practice and performed many surgical operations, therefore it required but a short time for him to gain general confidence as a physician and surgeon, which he retained without abatement throughout life. As a surgeon Dr. Spalding was successful above most others. He was an original thinker, well informed in the books and general principles of his profession, as was manifested not only in his medical and surgical practice, but in other departments of science. It was a maxim with him that there should be no guess work in his profession, and that strict integrity was the true and only policy which should govern every man. For more than forty years he was an active mem- ber of the Vermont State Medical Society, and through it labored to advance the best in- terests of the profession he best loved. In 1819 he was elected secretary, which office he held for over twenty years. He was elected vice-president in 1843, treasurer in 1844, chair- man of the committee on history of the So- ·ciety in 1845 ; elected president in 1846-47-48,
in the latter years delivering a dissertation on the Typhus Fever, which was published by vote of the society. He was elected corre- sponding secretary in 1850, and librarian in 1854, which office he held until his death. He was also a member of the board of fellows of the Vermont Academy of Medicine, besides holding many offices in the state connected with science, literature and temperance. He devoted his life to his profession, having never engaged in any other business or sought any political preferment. But few men in the country have seen such an amount of dis- ease and so carefully observed the peculiari- ties of the various epidemics occurring for half a century, and it is to be regretted that so little is left on record of his extensive observa- tion and experience both as a physician and a surgeon. He married (first) November 2, 1820, Eliza Reed, born October 13, 1798, at Hampstead, New Hampshire, died August 8, 1853, at Montpelier, Vermont. He married (second) Mrs. Anna (Lyman) Dodd, April 18, 1855, at Springfield, Massachusetts. She was born November 28, 1798, at Hartford, Vermont, died December 11, 1856, at Mont- pelier.

He graduated from the University of Ver- mont, 1840, and was afterward a private tutor in Georgia, at the same time studying law. On his return to Montpelier, Vermont, he was admitted to the bar and began prac- tice with Joseph Prentice. His literary tastes led him to relinquish his profession, and he spent several years in travel in Europe and the East, as a close student of manners, morals and politics. He was a witness of the events of the revolution of France in 1848. His let- ters to the New York Courier and Inquirer during his sojourn won for him the highest praise from English and American scholars. In the spring of 1850 he became one of the editors of the Courier and Inquirer. His re- markable ability as a writer was soon widely recognized ; his reputation as a fearless in- dependent critic of public men and measures created a demand for the establishment of a new journal which might be a full reflection of his own spirit and character, and the New York World was the result. Its career began in June, 1860, as a religious daily, conserva- tive in character, Republican in politics, but mismanagement prevented his carrying out his cherished plan. When that property changed hands, in 1861, Mr. Spalding became con- nected with the New York Times, and many of the most powerful appeals to the country in its years of darkest disaster were from his pen. His published addresses are "Spiritual Philosophy and Material Politics" and "The True Idea of Female Education." Richard Grant White, who was associated with Mr. Spalding in editorial work, said of him: "Mr. Spalding's vigor and elegance have never been excelled by a writer upon the city press." He was a gentleman of the most liberal cul- ture and as an editor stood among the very foremost of his profession. He was a man of profound convictions, and all the resources of classical culture, of historic study and of extended travel were always at his command. He married, January 18, 1865, Mary Elizabeth Atwater, born in Catskill, New York, June 5, 1837, who died June 10, 1898; one child, Mary Atwater, born October 24, 1866, re- sides in Catskill, New York.
(VIII) Rev. George Burley Spalding, son of Dr. James and Eliza (Reed) Spalding, was born August 11, 1835. He graduated from the University of Vermont, 1856, studied law with Judge W. G. M. Davis, of Tallahassee, Florida ; studied theology two years in Union Seminary, New York City, and one year at Andover, Massachusetts, graduating 1861. He was installed as minister of the Congrega- tional church at Vergennes, Vermont, Octo- ber 5, 1861 ; he became pastor of the North
Church in Connecticut in September, 1864; he was installed as pastor of the First Congre- gational Church at Dover, New Hampshire, September 1, 1869. After fourteen years as minister of this old historic church he be- came pastor of the Franklin Street Church, Manchester, New Hampshire; October 1, 1885, he was installed pastor over the First Presbyterian Church of Syracuse, New York. Dr. Spalding's literary work has been ex- tensive and of a high order. He was chair- man of the school committee of Dover, presi- dent of the board of trustees of the State Normal school, a member of the constitutional convention of New Hampshire in 1877, was representative of the city of Dover in the state legislature, and chaplain of that body in 1877. He was trustee of the New Hampshire Mis- sionary Society, of the State Orphan Home, trustee of Auburn Theological Seminary and of Hamilton College. Dartmouth conferred upon him in 1878 the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and Syracuse University in 1894 conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. He married, August 6, 1861, Sarah Livingstone, daughter of Rev. John W. Olm- stead, D.D., editor of the Watchman and Re- flector, the leading organ of the Baptist de- nomination of New England: she was born October 28, 1838, in Little Falls, New York; children : George Burley, Jr., graduate of Yale University, clergyman ; Mary Livingstone, still living ; Martha, still living ; Gertrude, still liv- ing.
David Atwater and his
ATWATER brother Joshua, sons of John Atwater of Roynton, Kent, England, were enrolled among the early settlers of New Haven, Joshua being one of the seven pioneers who first visited that place and spent a winter of great privation there. David is credited with being the first signer of the "planter agreement." His residence and farm were between East Rock and the Quinnipiack river, known as Cedar Hill. This land is yet owned by his descendants. The land owned by Joshua Atwater is now cov- ered with buildings, part of the vast Yale University system. David Atwater died Oc- tober 5, 1692.

The census of 1790 shows DE LONG over twenty De Longs living in New York state who mar- ried and were heads of families. Most of the families were resident of Albany county as then constituted, although the name was also found in Dutchess and Ulster counties. The town of Half-Moon (now Saratoga county) was the home of many of the name at that date. The De Longs of Glens Falls descend from Peter Lewis De Long, born February 13, 1761, whose father was said to have been a French Huguenot and fled from France to Holland, later coming with his family to the new world, settling first in New Jersey, later in what is now Dutchess county, New York. Peter L. De Long had brothers: Jacobus, born October 24, 1749 : Ragel, August 7, 1752 : Gradas, October 3, 1763; Isaac, March 21, 1766, died in infancy, and a sister Jeannette, born September 26, 1753. Peter De Long was a farmer of Albany county. He married
and had issue. In 1790 he was a resident of the town of Saratoga. He may have been the father of the family named above.
