Thomas Spaulding, Fife-Major

Most of my posts about the Richmond family are posted here; however, there is a War of 1812 connection in the text of the J. B. Richmond book excerpted below:

BETSEY RICHMOND (6) (Sylvester 5, Sylvester 4, Ebenezer 3, John 2, John 1) was born in New Braintree, Mass., August 13, 1783, and died in Troy, N.Y., November 19, 1822.  She married Thomas Spaulding of Vermont, who was born October 17, 1780, and died April 16, 1829.  He was Fife-Major in the War of 1812.
