  Notes	From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of 9 September 2020 I found a number of ancestry.com family trees that indicate John's parent's were SDB79650 William and Sarah (Jenkinson) Sprague. That could be but none give a source for this belief. John is not listed as a son of this couple in the Sprague book (page 523). I would need to find some type of documentation, e.g. a will, to feel comfortable linking John to William and Sarah. I have found a listing of John's children difficult to pin down. The following list is what I am currently comfortable with. In 1900 and 1910 Ann reports she had 10 children. I have been able to identify 7. I am assuming the missing 3 were infant deaths or small children b/d between census. Ann's 1911 obituary reports 5 living adult children. These would be John, Nettie, Charles, Joseph and Emma. [3]
