From Spaulding memorial, citing also Allen's history of Chelmsford, MA, a portion of the profile of Edward Spaulding:
"...at the first town meeting held Nov 22, 1654, he was chosen as one of the Selectmen. The record is as follows:--
'The 2nd, the 9. month:1654. At a meeting then at William Fletcher's Hous, there was chosen to officiate in ordering the Public Affairs of the Place by the Consent of the Major part of the Town for this present year ensuing: are as followeth:Ezdras Reed: Edward Spalding: William Fletcher: Isaac Learned: Simeon Thompson: William Underwood: Thomas Adam:'
"He was also chosen Selectman in 1656, 1660, and 1661. Under date of Feb 4, 1661, is recorded the division of land granted him by the Town, amounting to 28 acres, and consisting of 12 acres on Stony Brook, 10 acres at Little Tadmuck, and 6 acres on Merrimack Plain. In 1665 he was appointed one of a 'Committee for the laying out the Meadow granted to the several inhabitants according to the Town Order.' In 1663 he was 'the Surveyor of the Highways.' In 1666, he was chosen with three others 'Surveyor for the Newfield,' a tract of land lying north of Stony Brook...
"The attention of the first settlers was early given to the culture of apple trees, and special mention is made of the orchard of Edward Spalding in 1664." S1, p.16
