- From Paula Rigano-Murray, correspondent, note of March29th, 2004
In 1830 next to Isaac on the census is a James Sprague whomay be a brother.
In 1820 Winhall Bennington Co., VT there are 2 Spraguefamilies:
Widow Phebe Sprague and Wyman Sprague. This is PhebeLounsbury widow of Johnathan Sprague (1761-1813) She isseen living next to her brother-in-law Wyman.
In 1810 the following families are in Winhall:
Darius Sprague: (1789-1686) *Son of Jonathan Sprague (ofJohn II and Mary Hutchins) & Phebe Lounsbury Sp:#1CeliaDanly Sp#2 Thankful Mc Gregory
Note: From the History of Orleans County, N.Y."Darius Sprague came on foot from Vermont to Murray in thesummer of 1810, and located by article 400 acres of landlying about two miles northwest of Holley. After making asmall clearing on lot #98 he returned to Vermont. In thespring of 1811 he came back to continue his improvementsand build a log house: but before the tenement wascompleted he accidentally cut himself with an axe, whichcaused him to again return to his home in Vermont, where heremained until the spring of 1812, when he and his father'sfamily moved on to his new farm in Murray, which hecontinued to reside until his death in March 1868. Previousto canal navigation, Mr Sprague had walked the entiredistance between his old home in Vermont and this placeseven times, a journey of over 400 miles."
Isaac Sprague (son of John and Mary)
John Sprague (son of John and Mary)
John Sprague: (John II and Daughter Chloe, Mary passedin 1798, he may have remarried Asenath Turner as I found arecord for this marriage in 1805 and researchers assume itwas a record for John Jr. and Diantha Turner, however I canfind no evidence to that.)
Wyman Sprague (son of John and Mary)
My response:
My analysis is that the John in the 1810 census is probablyJohn Sprague II, grandfather of #UN Isaac Sprague, Sr.Then, Isaac Sprague, John Sprague and Wyman Sprague in thecensus are the son's of John Sprague II with Isaac beingthe father of #UN Isaac Sprague. Darius Sprague is thenprobably the grandson of John Sprague II and the son ofJohn II's son, Jonathan.
The 1820 census shows the two families in the Sprague line. Wyman is as listed above and Phoebe is the wife of theaforementioned, Jonathan Sprague (Phoebe Lounsbury.)
This is all speculation but quite logically sound andworthy of additional research to prove or disprove thehypothesis.
Paula Rigano-Murray responded on April 15th, 2004:
1800 Winhall
John has 1 male 16-26 and one male 45+, one female 26-45and one 45+ (John & his parents?) (John II (65y), John Jr17y (b. 1783), Chloe (27 years old) and Unknown, wife Maryhad already passed)
Jonathan, Wyman and Isaac all fall in the 26-45 age group.
1810 Winhall
John 45+ with one female 26-45: Daughter Chole
John in 26 - 45 (could be the 16-26 male in John SR'shouse)with wife in the
16-26 group
Isaac is still in the 26-45 age group with eldest son,Wyman in the 45+group. Darius appears out of the blue in the 26-45 agegroup. I don't seehow he is a grandson since no one had a son old enough intheir household tomake that jump in 1810 and he is in the same age group asat least 2 of the
sons.
Jonathan does not appear in Winhall but in 1820, the WidowPheobe does with Wyman. He died in 1814.
