Spalding had no children with his wife Stella. In 1934 Spalding was sued by Pauline Boyer in Oakland who claimed he was the father of her daughter. According to records of the case Pauline Boyer's daughter would have been born around 1929. Boyer clearly knew Spalding, and she was involved in New Thought religious groups. She lost the paternity court case however, and nobody has ever identified themselves as Spalding's daughter. I am continuing to research this however it has been difficult to find any further records of Ms Pauline Boyer in Oakland or Californoa. I did find one record indicating Boyer's maiden name may have been Heesch and her family was possibly from Salt Lake City. According to the 1930 census from Los Angeles, her daughters name was possibly Jacqueline Boyer. I welcome anyone with info to contact me. The only other book about Spalding of note is <a href="http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/1425397425/lifandteaofba-20" rel="nofollow">Baird T Spalding As I Knew Him</a>, by David Bruton, a fellow author and associate of Spalding in the 1950's.
