Vita
Iacobus Kirke Paulding natus est Pleasant Valley in oppido Novi Eboraci die 22 Augusti 1778. Eruditus est plerumque a se ipso. Amicus Vasingtonii Irving factus est, quocum proposuit propositum litterarum: "uno die, lascivo animo, notionem periodiculi solum stupori nostro excogitavimus, stuporique oppidi, quia neuter ulterius studium anticipavit." Exitus fuit Salmagundi, "fugax periodicum satiricum, ex quo vocabulum Gotham nomen primum Urbi Novo Eboraco ascriptum est." Irving et Paulding cum grege Knickerbockerano consociabantur, grege inter cuius alii sodales erant Gulielmus Cullen Bryant, Gulianus Crommelin Verplanck, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Iosephis Rodman Drake, Robertus Carolus Sands, Lydia Maria Child, et Nathaniel Parker Willis.

Martinus Van Buren praeses Paulding Secretarium Classis Iunio 1838 creavit, qui se a munere Martio 1841 abdicavit. Paulding in eius fundo prope Hyde Park Novi Eboraci obiit, et eius corpus in sepulcreto Green-Wood Brooklynii Novi Eboraci inhumatum est. Navis USS James K. Paulding (DD-238) ex eo appellatus est.
