Letter from Charles Spalding to his parents while attending University of Edinburgh

IMG_3358.JPG

Charles Spalding of Sapelo Island received in 1872 the book Spalding Memorial from the author and he then gave it to his nephew Thomas Spalding ll. The book is inscribed to Thomas Spalding ll from Uncle Charles. Written inside are several notes including the latter Spalding of Sapelo Island motto. This would have been consistent and characteristic of the Spalding family considering Thomas Spalding of Sapelo’s exceptional treatment of his “people” as surfs not slaves and his many attempts to change Georgia slavery laws.  He openly opposed Georgia Laws  “banning manumission of negro slaves”, prohibiting any religion outside Christianity and the forbidding of slaves to read or write, enter into contracts or buy and sell personal belongings. Spalding defied the law and his people did in fact practice Islam, were given enhanced education, as well as bought and sold goods. It is also believed that many of the Spalding people were free but Georgia Law stated “any person of color found to have been given their freedom were under penalty of being sold back into slavery”. When visiting or transacting business on the mainland, Spalding people remained under the protection of the Spalding name, until after the Civil War when so many unscrupulous whites exploited, defrauded and killed free men of color.

There have been only two known Clan Spalding family mottos in 800 years.
