Biography

Judah/Judith was the out-of-wedlock child of Hannah Main and Ebenezer Billings. Ebenezer was found legally guilty of fathering Hannah's child.[1] This case was finalized in 1699 suggesting a birth year for Judah of about 1697 or 1698. Judah was baptized at Stonington on 16 August 1702. "Hannah had daughter Judith baptized Aug. 16, 1702."[2] She is recorded as Judah Billings Main on her marriage transcription. Judah's mother Hannah Maine was daughter of Ezekiel Maine. Hannah Main seems not to have married as she was unmarried when her father Ezekiel wrote his will (probate 1714).

===Marriage===Judith (Juda) married Jonathan Spalding(Spaulding) on 22 April 1714 in Plainfield, Connecticut[3][4]

===Probate===Judah Spaulding of Plainfield wrote her will 22 November 1750 (proved 25 March 1763). She bequeathed to her eldest son Philip all the land she purchased from Elijah Eddy and his wife Dinah, and Philip is to pay his brother Abel £30. Philip is to pay his brother Jesse £32 and pay his brother Dier Spaulding £35.Her four sons Philip, Jesse, Abel, and Dier are to equally divide the outdoor movables. The indoor movables are to be divided among her four daughters: Hannah Wilson, Lois Spaulding, Dinah Cady, and Lucy. Son Philip Spalding was named executor.[5]

===Children===Judith and Jonathan had:[6]

Hannah, b. 1716, not recorded in Plainfield: Uriah, b. 24 Nov 1719, d. 8 Dec 1719[7]: Lois, b. 16 Mar 1720/1 [8]': Dinah, b. 12 Jun 1723 [9]: Philip, b. 26 Feb 1726/7[10]: Abel, b. 10 July 1728[11]: Jesse, b. 12 Sep 1730[12]: Diah/Dyer, b. 18 Nov 1732[13]: Lucy, b. 9 May 1734, not found in Plainfield records, m. Tisdel Dean of Preston, then John Peak, of Woodstock, Vermont

===Death===Judah died in 1763, apparently in Plainfield, identified as her abode when her will was probated in that year.[14]
