He moved to Coweta Co GA before 1840 where he was living with severalchildren at that time.
In 1860 he was living in Talbot Co. GA with wife, Jessamina.
He left a will in Talbot Co. Ga when he died Oct 11, 1873, which hesigned with an "X".
War: A Jeptha Spruell was captured at Selma, AL April 5, 1865, alongwith entire company A , Hardee's Battery, Forrest ' Command. Also JohnS. Spruell.
There was a colored woman listed in their household by the name ofClarissa. JS left her 1 acre of land for eight years in his will,including the house where she lived. She was probably an ex-slave. Healso left 5 acres for 1 year to William, colored, also probably anex-slave.
Inform...Alta
Thomas Jeptha Spruill enlisted at Pickens County, August 1863 and serveduntil he was paroled at Elmira, New York at the end of the War. He heldthe rank of Private in Co. C, 41st Reg't. Alabama Infantry, ConfederateArmy. He was captured at Petersburg, VA on June 15, 1864 and confinedJune 16, 1864 at Bermuda Hundred, VA.( Bermuda Hundred, VA Register No.191. page 32.) He was received at Elmira N.Y. on July 12, 1864 andreleased June 16, 1865. He signed an oath of allegiance to the UnitedStates at Elmira N.Y. on June 16, 1865.
My mother tells me that Tom was only 15 or so years when he ran away tojoin the army. His father and uncles had already enlisted and left Tomhome to run the farm. When the slaves were freed they all ran away andTom didn't want to stay home and work the farm, so he ran away and joinedthe army. The enlistment dates above suggest that this must have beenfamily lore, but not fact.
A letter from one of Tom's granddaughters says she remembers "Poppa"saying that he was taken in a boxcar to prison in NY. Because he was justa young kid, the guards at the prison would give him a leg up over thefence and send him into town to get things for them. When he returnedthey would open the gate to let him in. The guards were under orders notto open the gate to let anyone out. They were not under orders to not letanyone in.
