In Reply to: John Simpson Spruill by: Craig Spruiell
Craig, you are right about John Simpson Spruiells father being Jeptha. S omeone summited on the World Tree that his father was George C. Spruiel l but that is wrong. George C. Spruiell children ended up in Pickens Co , AL. My grandfather was Charles Edger Spruiell he was born in St. Clai r Co. Son of Ira J. Spruiell who was the son of William Spruiell. All m y grandfather would say about his relatives is that they all went to Te xas. He was talking about John Simpson Spruiell family. I heard a story f rom a woman in Texas that they loaded the wagon in the middle of the ni ght and headed to Texas. John Simpson had many children and they starte d families in St Clair Co, AL. I do not think they all left St.Clair Co , AL because their are Spruiell still there.

There were two Spruiell families in St. Clair Co, AL in the mid 1850s. W illiam Spruiell and John Simpson Spruiell. They were brothers. Their fa ther was Jeptha Spruiell.William was married to Matilda Herren.
John was married to Nancy Agnes Carmichael.
William came to St. Clair Co, AL around 1844 and John got there around 1 854. They both were living in Coweta Co, GA.
William's decendents stayed in AL. Many of John's decendents went to TX i n the 1890s.
Some Spruiells still live in St. Clair Co, AL. William was my ggggrandf ather. I live in Tuscaloosa, AL.
If you will go to Rootsweb World connect and type in Spruiell you will f ind these two men and their families. Thanks cousins
