As the article states that Gray brought the rights to the song and made money (and not Kornder), and there is notated music with Spaulding & Gray from same year, it would follow that Spaulding & Kornder published it first. Added this to notes section. Info about the Volunteer Organist. Down Went McGinty reference giving year of publish, address of publisher and name. Article details that Spaulding had 2 children. undo

Deleted part of the sentence about My Mary Green and the success of it encouraging him to carry on being a songwriter, and vowing never to sell his songs to another music publisher. undo
