David: This Richard M. & Mary J. are Richard Marcus Spalding & Mary Jane Lancaster. Richard was a full brother of the Archbishop; son of Richard Spalding & Henrietta Hamilton {wife #1} The Abell link gave his dates as 1808-1883 It's possible that the Archbishop's father & 2nd step-mother were dead when the 1850 census was taken. Both died in 1850.
