  • Notes 
    • Henery Sprague is on the 1830 Federal Census at New Shoreham; his household includes one male 20-30 and one female 20-30. My conclusion is that he was married by then but their first child had not yet been born.

      In the 1850 census the family is at New Shoreham, as follows: Henry 44, Frances 36, Eldridge 20, Almina (?) 14, Joshua 13, Aaron 12, Alzador 11, Henry N. 4, & Euphene 2.

      In 1860 they are still at New Shoreham. The household is as follows: Henry 54; Fanny 51; Joshua 23; Aaron 21; Almira Mitchell 25; Henry Sprague, Jr. 16; Phebe A. 13; three Mitchell daughters ages 6, 3, & 1 (Alwaday L. ?, Cornelia, & Fanny F.); John F. Dodge 87; Henry Dodge 40; Nelson Dodge 42; and Joseph O. Mitchell 40.

      In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry & Fannie Sprague, ages 58 & 54, are living at Old Lyme, New London Co., CT. With them are two of their children: Ann 28 & Henry 24. Also in the household is their married daughter and her family, Almira & Joseph Mitchell and two of their children, Thaddeus & Fanny F.

      They are still at Old Lyme in the 1880 census, living with son Aaron and his wife Olive and their children. Next door is son Henry Jr. and his family.
