EDWARD SPAULDING (1596 - 1670) Last Will and Testament
Edward Spalding was progenitor of this family and was residing in Braintree on May 13, 1640. On this day, he became a freeman, meaning he was a member of the established church, entitling him to serve in some governmental capacity, to be a magistrate, to receive land grants, and to serve on a jury. In 1645, his name appeared on the petition for the Chelmsford land grant and he was present at the first town meeting on Nov. 22, 1654. Evidence indicated that Edward Spalding arrived with Sir George Yeardley in or about 1619 to join the Virginia Colony. In this year, several families immigrated to the Virginia Colony, induced by a promise of prosperity from the company; prior to this time, the colony consisted of mostly males. On March 22, 1622, following an Indian massacre which devastated the colony, a census was ordered. The census records of February 16, 1623 include in a "List of the Living," both an Edward Spalding (at "James Citie") and an Edmund Spalden (at "Elizabeth Cittie"). Some years later, it is assumed that Edward Spalding joined the Massachusetts Bay Colony, while Edmund joined the Maryland Colony under Lord Baltimore. The following will of Edward Spalding was copied from the Spalding Memorial (1896), recently republished in 1996. The 13th day of Feb. 1666.Edward Spalden of Chelmsford in the County of Middlesex and New England being of a perfect memory and understanding do declare this my last will & testament. Impr.
