SPAULDING
Isaiah, brother of Lydia Bates, [died] Nov. 27, 1787, a. 77 y. wanting 2 d. GR1
[Birth about 1710. Note: age at death would be more appropriate if the year of death was 1786. There actually is a separate death record for "Isaiah, bur. Dec. 12, 1786. CR1. [d. Dec. 9. PR4]." PR4=Diary of Rev. Ebenezer Bridge. No other Isaiah Spaulding seems to appear in the records for Chelmsford in the proper time period, so these may both refer to the same person, but the 1786 doesn't contain enough information, such as age at death, etc., to be sure. The Isaiah of this page is definitely the brother of Lydia Spaulding who married Robert Bates.]
