Bartholomew Co., IN
I am interested in knowing more of these two families. The marriages of each took place in Bartholomew County, Indiana:
1. Matilda SPROWL to John HAMNER on 12 Feb 1841
2. Mrs. Sarah SPROWL to James HAMNER on 29 Sept 1844
3. William Porter SPROWL to Nancy Catharine GANT on 1-31-1850
4. Julia SPROWL to John RAINES on 12-3-1840
I have found Sarah F. Sprawl enumerated in Bartholomew County in the 1840 census where she had a household of one male 5-10 yo, one male 10-15 yo and 2 females 15-20 yo, one female 30-40 yo.
I believe that it is possible that Sarah Sprawl/Sprowl might have had a daughter, Lavinia, who married as his second wife, Thomas TURK. Lavinia (Lovina) was b. ca 1806 in New York. Were these SPROWLS from New York before settling in Indiana?
Can anyone help? Thank you.
