See HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KY. (Published 1886)
Pg. 476 in an article about his son Richard Abell Spalding:" The
following sketch will begin by saying he was a son of Ignatius A.
Spalding and Jane Pottenger, both of whom came to Union County from
Nelson County, at an early date. Both father and mother were natives
of Maryland. His father, I. A. Spalding, was born May 5, 1790, and
in the fall of the same year, was brought by his father from Maryland
to Kentucky, and located in Washington County. For a number of years
the grandfather of our subject served as Deputy Sheriff of his county,
and upon several occasions flat-boated it to New Orleans, and after
disposing of his produce and merchandise, would, and did, return over-
land through the Indian Nation, on foot. His grandfather, Samuel
Pottenger, on his mother's side, came to Kentucky in 1778, a boy, and
settled in Nelson County on a Creek, which was ever afterwards known
as Pottenger's Creek. The families were largely connected, both in
their native State and in this State. Lieutenant Governor Caldwell
of Kentucky, was a near relative, as well as other distinguished
personages."
See THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND 1670 by Edward Felix Jenkins,O.S.A . at
page 40 listing the children of Benedict Joseph Spalding "x. Ignatius
born May 5, 1790; died about 1850; married (1) Mary (sic) Pottinger;
(2) Ann Johnson." [Apparently her correct name was Jane, not Mary.]
