!"EDWARD SPAULDING, is the first of the family of whom we have any knowledge. He came to America between 1630 and 1633. He first appeared at Braintree, Mass., where his first wife, Margaret, and his daughter Grace died, and benjamin was born. He was made freeman, May 13, 1640. On October 1, 1645, he was one of the petitioners for the new town of Chelmsford. Was Selectman in 1656-60-61. February 4 1661, is recorded the division of land granted him by the town, amounting to twenty-eight acres. In 1665, he was appointed one of the 'committee for the laying out of the Meadows, granted to the several inhabitants, according to town order.' In 1663 he was 'the surveyor of the highways.' In 1666, he was chosen, with three others, 'surveyor for the Newfield,' atract of land lying north of Stoney Brook, then first opened for pasturage, afterward, when settled, called Newfield, and subsequently, North Chelmsford. He was one of the proprietors of Newfield. (Rec. in Town Records, March 12, 1667, 6A.) "He died February 26, 1670. His will, dated February 13, 1667, does not mention his sons, Benjamin and Joseph. His widow, Rachel, was made executrix, but she died soon after he, and on probate of the will, April 5, 1670, administration was given to John and Edward. "The reason Benjamin and Joseph were not mentioned in the will is undoubtedly because they had already been given their portion, and which they had invested in land in Plainfield and Killingly, Conn."
