  Notes	From Carol Mongeau, correspondent, note of August 24th, 2006      The family story, according to mymother, Laurence's daughter, is that his grandfather wasGeorge Washington Sprague, son of Cyrus and Cornelia Moss. From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of March 5th,2007      I could find no record at all onFerman Sprague no matter how I tried. I did find a GeorgeSprague, W, M, Born Aug. 1873, Age 26, Single, NY, NY, NY,Farm Laborer residing in the residence of Louis Davis, 44,and his wife Isabella Davis, 42, in the 1900 Census of theTown of Kortright, Delaware County, NY, USA. Date of CensusJune 1, 1900.  However, I have no idea if this is thesame George Sprague and I could not find him before orafter this census. I also ran into the same problem withArvilda Palmatier.  I did find Addie Palmatier,Servant, W, F, Born July 1881, Age 18, Single, Born PA,Father NY, Mother Unknown residing on the farm of HilandSlawson, 47, and his wife Sarah I. Slawson, 40, in the 1900Census of the Town of Hancock, Delaware County, NY, datedJune 15, 1900 and Dwelling 240, Family 274. Once again, Ihave no idea if she is the same person as above.
