    In Reply to: Spruiell by:

    Kirk, I have been troubled trying to find your lineage relating to my family. There are so many Jepthas and Williams it is hard to keep them separate and identified.

    My paternal grandmother, Alice Valerie Spruiell, who married Milton Clinkscales was the daughter of William ROBERT Spruiell. The first 3 children of William Robert were born in Georgia, the remaining 10 were born in Alabama, St. Clair and Shelby Counties,1868-1890. My grandmother stayed in Alabama when her father moved the family to Texas.
    My genealogy I was given by one of the daughters of grandmother's sister in Texas takes us from William Robert Spruiell, to John S. Spruiell, 20 Nov 1817, to George C. Spruiell ,1760/1770 - 21 April 1835 to John Spruiell,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
