Individual Details

Article from "Ozarks Mountaineer" states that the two aunts and uncle of George Douglas Haden also came to MO in the winter of 1839/1840.
Mary K. Sprout appointed guardian for Hester Ann, John and Ellen Sprout, minors. Rezin Haden and Joseph Haden gave security. [I'm not at all sure there were three children. Logan County wills from grandparents, uncles refer only to Hester and "John" Ellen, but she is female! This may have been a case of misinterpretation and should have read Hester, John Ellen]

William Sprout, brother of John Sprout had no children. Will leaves property to nieces & nephews, ie: Hester Sprout, John E. Sprout, William Gilbert, James M. Brien. [Conflict: In the abstracts the Will shows John E. Sprout, nephew. Equity Case shows John Eller Sprout, niece]
