In Reply to: Spruiell by:
Kirk, I have been troubled trying to find your lineage relating to my f amily. There are so many Jepthas and Williams it is hard to keep them s eparate and identified.
My paternal grandmother, Alice Valerie Spruiell, who married Milton Cli nkscales was the daughter of William ROBERT Spruiell. The first 3 child ren of William Robert were born in Georgia, the remaining 10 were born i n Alabama, St. Clair and Shelby Counties,1868-1890. My grandmother stay ed in Alabama when her father moved the family to Texas.
My genealogy I was given by one of the daughters of grandmother's siste r in Texas takes us from William Robert Spruiell, to John S. Spruiell, 2 0 Nov 1817, to George C. Spruiell ,1760/1770 - 21 April 1835 to John Sp ruiell,1730/40 - 1808.
I would like to be able to identify your Charles Edger Spruiell and Ira J . Spruiell.
And be able to go on correctly. Thanks
