Joseph the husbandman

Joseph Spalding the husbandman (of John2, Edward1) should not be confused with Joseph the wheelwright (of Joseph2, Edward1). Though they had different fathers, these two men were called brothers because their wives were probably sisters. The wife of the former was Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Colburn, and the wife of the latter was Mary who may have been daughter of John Colburn by his previous wife Susanna Read. (per: William H Manning, "Notes—SPAULDING," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, (Oct 1909); online : AmericanAncestors.org (www.americanancestors.org), 63:379-381.)

The children of the husbandman are clearly identified by his estate settlement.

[edit]

Estate of the husbandman

It was signed by Elizabeth Spaulding (her mark), John Spaulding, Hannah Spaulding (her mark), Timothy Spaulding guardian to Simeon Spauding, and Ebenezer Harris.
