John Sproule, son of Wm

http://www.vergie.com/sprowls_family_history.html

John Sproule, son of Wm. and Elizabeth Watson Sproule was born in 1749. He married Elizabeth Love (Lonney). They lived near Enskillen, Ireland. In the year 1793, feeling that he could better his condition and at the same time be free from the political and religious questions which were then disturbing that unfortunate country, determined to emigrate to America. He at the time resided on a farm. He with his wife and family, consisting of eight children, sailed from Londerry in 1793. After a voyage of about three months, they arrived in Philadelphia. The children, who came with them were: Arthur, Jane, Edward, John, Henry, James, Elizabeth and Nancy. Wm. and Mary were born in America.

In Philadelphia, he located in South Ward, purchasing property from Ann Armitt on the South East corner of Plumb St. and 5th. St. in August 8, 1793. We have a copy of this deed and it lists John as being a shallopman. From Philadelphia, they moved to Carlisle, Pa., where they remained about two years. It was then concluded to go farther west. Finally, they landed in Washington County, Pa., where they lived until 1810, when they moved to Finley Twp., Wash. Co., Pa. All the members of John Sprouls family went with him to the last named place.

As noted previously, my great-grandparents were William and Margaret Mitchell Sprowls. They had the following children: Sarah - never married. Mary - married David Sumney. Hiram - died in infancy. Arthur - married Ida Devore. Mark - married Sadie Devore. Margaret - married John Sumney. Dr. William Wilson - married Mary Wylie (my grandparents). Dr. William Wilson and Mary Wylie Sprowls had the following children: Nannie - married Rev. James S. Ferris - No Issue. Gemella - never married. William - married Greta Vanaken No Issue. Lloyd Sumney - married Della Grounds (my parents) Lloyd Sumney and Della Grounds Sprowls had the following children: Dr. Jay - never married. Dr. John - married Lucille Owaly: boy & girl in College (one daughter died) George (Druggist) - married Patty Carter - 2 step- daughters & 1 son. Lucille - married Harold Whitaker: 1 dau & 1 step-grand-daughter. Wilbert - married Bella Douglass (me & my wife): 2-daughters: 1 grand-daughter 3 grandsons.

More Sprowls History.

When John Sprowls located in Finley, it was a wilderness. He, with the assistance of his sons built a log house, and as glass was then scarce, difficult to get, and very expensive, the openings in the house intended for windows were covered as best they could, and it was not an uncommon occurrence we are told, for the inmates to be awakened at night by the howling of wolves in the forest surrounding them.

John Sprowls was a large muscular man, plain and direct of speech, but was respected on account of his sturdy honesty and strict integrity. As other pioneers were required to do, he, by unremitting toil, cut and cleared fields on the farm, which he had purchased and made for himself and family a pleasant and happy home. He died upon this farm in 1845, about nintey six years of age--his good wife having preceded him to the grave August 10, 1818, age fifty-seven--they are both buried on the farm which they conquered from the wilderness in what is known as the Sprowls graveyard on land lately owned by W.W. Sprowls in East Finley Township.

The children born to John and Elizabeth Sprowls were as follows--Arthur, Jane, Nancy, John, Edward, James, Elizabeth, Henry, William, and Mary--the first eight of whom were born in Ireland, and the last two in America, Wm. in Carlisle, Pa. and Mary in Finley Township. Taxing up and considering these children we find:

1. That Arthur Sprowls married Catherine Wallace to whom were born the following children: John, who married Margaret Carr. Rachel, who married William Camp and moved to Ohio--we have no information as to the number or names of their descendants. William, who married Ann Montgomery. Elizabeth, who married Laban Sampson, and moved to Ohio, we have no knowledge of the number or names of their descendants. Fannie, who married David Sampson. Mary, who married James Sammons and moved to Ohio we have no information as to the number or names of their descendants. Catherine, married Jesse Montgomery. Silas, who married Christina Ealy. (George Sprowls', parents.)

2. Jane Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married William Carr and moved to Ohio. We have no knowledge of their descendants.

3. Nancy Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, was never married--is dead and buried in the Sprowls Cemetery to which reference has been made.

4. John Sprowls, son of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married Margaret Greadon, and the names of their children are as follows: Eleanor, who married John Ealy. William, who married Mariah Newland. James, who married Elizabeth Montgomery. Alexander, who married Jane Montgomery. Henry, who married Mary Stollar. Nancy, who married John ____. Arthur, who married Hester Seaman. John, who married twice, first to Elizabeth Lucas and after her death to Jane Trussell. Mary, never married and is dead.

5. Edward Sprowls, son of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married Sarah Brown--to whom were born the following children: Elizabeth, Isaiah, Margaret, Jane, William, Elmira, Jefferson, Washington, Julia Ann, Edward, Obadiah, and Sarah. Of these children Elizabeth never married and died in 1891. Isaiah also never married and died in 1902. Margaret also never married and died in 1852. Jane also never married and died in 1897. William, married Margaret Mitchell. He died in 1897, and his wife died in 1898. Elmira married Margaret Robison. He is dead, she resides at Bentleyville. Edward never married and lives on the old home place at Bentleyville. Jefferson never married and died in 1853. Washington never married and died in 1899. Julia Ann never married and lives with her brother, Edward on the home place. Obadiah was married first to Damarias Mitchell, after her death he married Herrietta Luker. He had no children to his first wife, and eight to his second. Sarah married Nelson Town and to them was born one child, who is married and lives near Elm Grove, W.Va.

6. James Sprowls, died 1837, son of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married Elenor Enlow, she died 1865, to whom were born the following children: Belinda, who married Joseph Martin. Cyrus, who was married to Phobe Post, after she died he married Belinda Elliot, and she also having died, he married Mary Ann Ashbrook. Jesse, who was never married and is dead. Elliott, who was never married and is dead. John, who married Hannah Reed. Simeon, who married Mary Montgomery. James, who married Mary Ann Sampson. James is living but his wife is dead. He resides in West Finley Township.

7. Elizabeth Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, never married and is buried in the Sprowls graveyard to which reference has been made.

8. Henry Sprowls, son of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married Elizabeth Newland to whom were born the following children: Matilda, who married John Fields. Elizabeth, who married Joseph Buchanan. William, who married Retta Newland. Mariah, who married George Frye.xxxx Abram, who enlisted in the Civil War and died in service.xxxx James W., who married Barbara Carr. James enlisted in the Civil War and died in service. Nancy Jane, who married William Birch. Mrs. Birch resides in West Finley Township.

9. William Sprowls, son of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, married Dorcas Town, to whom were born the following children: Eli, who never married and is dead. James, who never married and is dead. William, who married Elizabeth Stockdale.xxxx John, who married Eliza McCroroy. It may be interesting to note that the Committee has been informed that soon after John's marriage he moved to Illinois, and soon after breaking out of the Civil War, enlisted in an Illinois Regiment. Our information that he on account of gallant and meritorious conduct on the field of battle, was promoted, and about the close of the war he died from disease contracted in the service. He held a high position as an officer in the regiment. To return to the Children of William and Dorcas Sprowls, the next following John was Abigail, who never married and is dead. Elizabeth, who never married and is dead. Henry C., who married Nancy McClelland. Dorcas Ann, who never married and is living in Washington.xxxx Cyrus, who enlisted at the beginning of the Civil War, and was as the committee is informed, killed in battle. He is buried in the Sprowls graveyard of which reference has been made. Isaac H., who died when a small boy.

10. Mary Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, was married to Andrew Kimmous, and to him had two children. John who died when quite small and, Elizabeth, who married John Anderson.

After the death of Andrew Kimmous, Mary married William Wilson and moved to Washington, where the Committee is informed the following 0children were born: George, Sarah, Mary, John S., and Charlotte S. Wilson.

The forgoing constitutes a history of the descendants of John and Elizabeth Sprowls as the committee has been able to compile the same. It has doubtless been noticed that it includes only the first, second and third generations. There is a large number of the fourth generation now living and while it will require a large amount of labor, yet it will not be a difficult task to complete the history, by bringing down the different branches at the present time.

We would respectfully suggest that a permanent organization be effected for the purpose of completing the history in order that it can be handed down in an intelligent manner to our children.

We would also suggest that when a permanent organization is effected, that steps be taken to ascertain the names of descendants of Jane Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth, who married William Carr, and moved to Ohio. Likewise, the family of Elizabeth Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, who married Laban Sampson and moved to Ohio. That the same be done of Mary Sprowls, daughter of John and Elizabeth Sprowls, who married James Sammon, and moved to Ohio.

John Sprowls, who we have referred to in this history as having enlisted in Illinois in the Civil War, belonged to the third generation, and it would be well also to ascertain the name of his descendants.

It would be advisable also to effect such an organization as we have suggested for another reason.

The fourth generation contributed a number of soldiers to the Civil War. George and Jesse Sprowls, sons of Mrs. A. Sprowls, enlisted in the One Hundred Fortieth Penna. Volunteers--Jesse was killed at Gettysburg, and George died at Andersonville. William A. generally known as " Art" , and a son of James Sprowls, enlisted in the Eighth Penna., Reserves, and has an excellent record as a soldier.

However, the attention of the committee has been called to the fact, and it should not be forgotten, that in the main, the descendants of John and Elizabeth Sprowls have been farmers. It is true some of the present generation have chosen other occupations such as ministry, medicine, and law. But as previously stated, we have devoted our labors principally to the first, second and third generations. We refer to them with pride, as they were composed of sturdy, honest, and exemplary men and women. It is well to recollect that in their homes, the book of books, the Bible, had the first place, and that their children were taught to reverence its Holy lessons. Their good reputation is a rich heritage and we should all live in such a way as to insure its preservation. xxxx--Marks the names of Veterans.
