Classification: Query
Surnames: Sprague, Titus, Harris,
Has anyone done a comprehensive research into the family of John Sprague and his wife Elizabeth Titus?
Most researchers give John's date/place of birth as 6 June 1743 in Cumberland, Providence Co. RI, and Elizabeth's date/place of birth as 11 Jily 1744 in Douglas, Worcester Co. MA, with their marriage occuring 19 November 1764 in Uxbridge, Worcester Co. MA. Also, the date/place of John's death is typically given as August 1820 in Richmond, Ontario Co. NY, while no date/place is apparently known for Elizabeth's death.
Rsearchers generally aggree that John was the son of Stephen Sprague and Mary Harris, both natives of Rhode Island.
Most research has identified five children born to John and Elizabeth: sons Jonathan, Michael and Thomas, and daughters Amey and Elizabeth.
Questions: is the above John Sprague the same individual found in the 1800 and 1810 census of Onatrio Co. NY, and did he have only the five children most often listed by researchers (and named above)?
I have a Mercy Sprague, born 1784/5 in Rhode Island with Ontario Co. NY connections, but cannot determine her parentage. Circumstancial evidence suggests she may have been a daughter of John Sprague and Elizabeth Titus.
Any information, thoughts, etc. would be appreciated.
