Spaulding. >> Hi Joyce, Somehow I know that this Sophronia Spaulding ties into my family. I just don't quite know how. My ggggrandfather, Elijah White, m: Deborah Babbitt. Deborah died 1850, AuSable Forks, NY. Then Elijah m: Nancy Spaulding and Nancy had 4 daughters, (from a previous marriage) one of them named Sophronia, b: 1846. Elijah and Nancy then had a child, Hattie M. White. Elijah and Deborah had 2 children born in Essex, Chittenden, Vermont, so I feel there is a connection. I just want you to know that I really appreciate you putting these excerpts on the list. I have so thoroughly enjoyed them. Mary
