Notes for Andrew Spalding: Andrew suceeded to the paternal estate by the terms of his father's will. He was a deacon in the church at the time of his death, being suceeded in that position by his son and namesake Andrew and his grandson, Ephraim. He signed his will with his mark which was executed 6 June 1712.
According to Hubbard in the History of New England, Chapter VIII, The Life Long Ago
Page 399: The Spaulding-Hazen place was probably a part of the estate deeded by Andrew, son of Edward, to his son, Henry, in 1706. Andrew bought of John and Daniel Waldo about 260 acres, being a part of the estate of Capt. Samuel Adams. The Waldos married, respectively, Rebecca and Susanna Adams, daughters of Sameul. Henry Spaulding was a tailor. His son, Henry, inherited the property. Then came Zebulon and Sherebiah and Sherebiah, Jr. In 1861, Sanford Hazen bought the homestead from the estate of the latter.
