Individual Details

Francis Sprague

(1590 - 1679)

Francis left England for America probably with this wife and pretty definitely with his two daughters. In Plymouth he was an innkeeper, licensed to sell alcohol, a fur trader and a planter. He also beat a neighbors servant, killed a neighbors horse and got into trouble selling liquor in ways not approved by the court, several times. From the Great Migration Begins: there are very few dates for this family and many unanswered questions.
