This entry is a little confusing. It seems that father, Francis Spalding, and son, William Fanning, both arrived per same ship, using different surnames. It is likely that William, the son had the relationship with Esther Knowland, (and the children) and that father, Francis also lived with them, as recorded in 1798.
