Așa Spalding is believed to have been a member of Captain Solomon Pollard’s company of militia in Colonel Green’s regiment which marched on the alarm of April 19th 1775. He later served as a private in Captain Johnathan Stickney’s Company in Colonel Ebenezer Brook’s regiment which was stationed in Cambridge during the summer and early fall of 1775. Spalding’s home formerly stood at 107 North Road. It was torn down over a century ago and replaced with a very modest cabin. The land that once comprised his farm now makes up the eastern part of Great Brook State Park.
