  Father	Lt. Ralph Sprague,   b. Abt 1599, Upwey, Dorsetshire, England ,   d. 24 Nov 1650, Malden, Middlesex Co., MA, USA  (Age ~ 51 years)
  Mother	Joanna Warren,   b. 1603,   d. 24 Feb 1679/80, Woburn, Middlesex Co., MA, USA  (Age 77 years)
  Married	15 Aug 1623	Saint George, Fordington, Dorchester, , Dorsetshire, England   [6]
  	From Dottie Middleton, correspondent, note of June 2, 2016 Online Fordington St George parish records show that Joanna and Ralph were married 15 Aug 1623; unfortunately, the online transcript doesn't name their parents.  John Sprague was baptized at St George 23 May 1624 and Jonathan on 27 November 1625. John died in 1692 and is buried in Bell Rock Cemetery, Malden, MA, with about 30 other Spragues.  Some researchers (Sprague database, familysearch, IGI, and Michael Russell, OPC, who wrote "Pilgrims from Fordington The Sprague Family From Fullers to Founding Fathers") say Jonathan died in 1650 in Malden.  Copy-cat "research?"  Access to first-hand documents I haven't found?  I don't know.  In any case, Jonathan has no headstone at Bell Rock Cemetery, and none in Massachusetts that I could find on findagrave.  There is one Sprague headstone at Bell Rock with only the surname; that might or might not be Jonathan, but we don't know.  Further research is needed.  Watkins' noting "no later mention" of Jonathan and speculating that he might have died in childhood is somewhat misleading.  Existing St George parish records do not mention Jonathan after his baptism; however, the 1626 records were very badly water damaged and the 1629 records are missing.
