Basil W. Spalding (December 11, 1846 – 1929) was a Confederate Civil War veteran and tobacco farmer who lived in Charles County, Maryland. He was born at Pleasant Hill Plantation, which had been in his family for two hundred years and died at Green Park nearby. A native of Maryland, Spalding fought from 1862-1865 in the American Civil War in the name of the Confederacy after escaping from school to join "the Great Adventure". After returning to his home state, he married and took on a simple lifestyle as a father to his children, husband to his wife, and a farmer. He married twice and had ten children. Spalding Died in 1929. He was a Catholic. ==Early life== Basil Spalding was born on December 11, 1846 to John Spalding, a slave-holding tobacco plantation owner and his second wife, Mary Carroll, a great-granddaughter of Daniel Carroll, a Founding Father of the United States. Very shortly after Spalding's birth, however, Mary Carroll died. When he was two years old, his father, John Spalding, also died. An orphan, Spalding was taken into the care of his relative, William Fendley Dement, a Charles County plantation owner. Dement's wife, Mary Teresa Symphronia Green, was John Spalding's sister and therefore Spalding's aunt. At the Dement's plantation, Eutaw, Spalding was raised by Mary Teresa as a son. Later, as a young adult, Spalding left to attend a private academy in northern Maryland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basil William Spalding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
