Anthony SPRAGUE was born about 1728 in Scituate, Rhode Island. He married a Mary (--?--). He died about 1772 at Lanesborough, Berkshire County, Massachusetts (probate record, Berkshire County, Massachusetts).
Anthony was the son of Anthony Sprague and Ann Thurston (Mayflower Families Book 18 Vol. 2). Anthony married a Mary (Unknown). The Dexter Genealogy suggests that this Mary was a Dexter. However, the Sprague Families in America could not identify her surname. Anthony Sprague died intestate and his affairs were handled by a Jonathan Pettibone and his widow Mary. Jonathan Pettibone was also appointed guardian of the minor children of Anthony Sprague. More research is needed to prove the surname of Mary and the relationship of Jonathan Pettibone to the Anthony Sprague family.
Edward R. Knurow collection at the Berkshire Athenaeum Local History Room, Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts show that the sons of Anthony fought as Patriot's in the Revolutionary War. The widow Mary removed with her son Eseck to Vermont where she died and was buried.
Children of Anthony Sprague and Mary (--?--) are:
1. Gideon
2. Anna married Hulet/Hulot.
3. Phebe married Man.
4. Anthony.
5. Eseck married Lucy Rubbllee.
6. Mercy
7. Sarah married Amasa Weed.
8. Jerusha
9. Samuel
10. Abraham
11. Priscilla married Lee.
