    Craig, you are right about John Simpson Spruiells father being Jeptha. Someone summited on the World Tree that his father was George C. Spruiell but that is wrong. George C. Spruiell children ended up in Pickens Co, AL. My grandfather was Charles Edger Spruiell he was born in St. Clair Co. Son of Ira J. Spruiell who was the son of William Spruiell. All my grandfather would say about his relatives is that they all went to Texas. He was talking about John Simpson Spruiell family. I heard a story from a woman in Texas that they loaded the wagon in the middle of the night and headed to Texas. John Simpson had many children and they started families in St Clair Co, AL. I do not think they all left St.Clair Co, AL because their are Spruiell still there.
