Text source

Johan/Hans Spalding was a son of Gabriel Spalding [SSNE 4816] and Katharina Wernle. He was born on 28 August 1668 and later served as a Major in the army. He married Magdalena Eleonora Soop and died at the battle of Friedrichshall with his brother Herman [SSNE 3545]. It is very possible that his brother's details have been confused with his, his brother being referred to in secondary sources as Herman Johan, but not in his baptismal record.
