Iacobus Kirke Paulding natus est Pleasant Valley in oppido Novi Eboraci die 22 Augusti 1778.[1] 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."[2][3] Exitus fuit Salmagundi, "fugax periodicum satiricum, ex quo vocabulum Gotham nomen primum Urbi Novo Eboraco ascriptum est."[4][5] 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.[6]
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.
