• Notes

  Married: From Dottie Middleton, correspondent, note of June 2, 2016 Online Fordington St George parish records show that Joannaand Ralph were married 15 Aug 1623; unfortunately, theonline transcript doesn't name their parents.  JohnSprague was baptized at St George 23 May 1624 and Jonathanon 27 November 1625. John died in 1692 and is buried in Bell Rock Cemetery,Malden, MA, with about 30 other Spragues.  Someresearchers (Sprague database, familysearch, IGI, andMichael Russell, OPC, who wrote "Pilgrims from FordingtonThe Sprague Family From Fullers to Founding Fathers") sayJonathan died in 1650 in Malden.  Copy-cat"research?"  Access to first-hand documents I haven'tfound?  I don't know.  In any case, Jonathan hasno headstone at Bell Rock Cemetery, and none inMassachusetts that I could find on findagrave.  Thereis one Sprague headstone at Bell Rock with only thesurname; that might or might not be Jonathan, but we don'tknow.  Further research is needed.  Watkins'noting "no later mention" of Jonathan and speculating thathe might have died in childhood is somewhatmisleading.  Existing St George parish records do notmention Jonathan after his baptism; however, the 1626records were very badly water damaged and the 1629 recordsare missing.
