• Notes

  In 1822, Rev. Joshua Spaulding wrote a fascinating account of the life of his paternal grandmother Hannah Wilson Spaulding Stuart, in a letter to a cousin. After she was widowed when Joshua's grandfather died in a road accident, she took up with and eventually married, in Connecticut, a Scottish adventurer who told her that his name was Henry Stuart and that he was of royal blood. He appears to have been associated with the efforts of Charles Edward Stuart, known as the Young Pretender, to claim the British throne. A transcription of that letter can be found in an Appendix to Descendants of John Wilson of Woburn, Massachusetts, self-published and copyrighted in 1991 by Ken Stevens
