    NEHGS Register, vol. 134, pg. 230 records that Moses Stockbridge of Hampton, NH, Lambstown (now Hardwick), MA, Leicester, MA and Hebron, CT sold his 50 acres in Hebron on 24 Mar 1723/4 to Joseph Swetland of Hebron and John Sprague, Jr. of Lebanon.

    A John Sprague died 14 Dec 1739 in Duxbury at age 57, which would put his birth abt. 1682. Probably too old for this John, unless he was the first son of John Sr., which would put his birth about right. This creates difficulties, however, with the John Sprague, Jr. in Connecticut. (Mass. VR to 1850, Duxbury, p. 426)
    "SPRAGUE?tab?John, Dec. 14, 1739, in 57th y. G.R.1."
    Since land records confirm Ephraim as the eldest son of John, it seems unlikely this is the same John Jr. (see notes under Ephraim).

    An article in NEHGS Register April 1970, p. 118 deals with another John Sprague, who married Bethia Snow and was the father of Peleg, who also moved to Lebanon, CT, so there must be some connection between the two John's. That John is the one who died in 1739, above.

    Taunton, MA VR shows marriage of John Sprague, Jr. of Lebanon to Susanna Hodges of Taunton. As there is no Lebanon, MA, it seems very likely this is the same John Sprague, Jr.

    In an article titled "Necrology of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society" by Rev. Samuel Cutler, published in the New England Historic Genealogical Register January 1877 states the following in reference to the Rev. William Buell Sprague of Albany, NY: "His grandfather was John Sprague, who married Susannah Hodges of Taunton, and who removed from Lebanon to Andover, Conn. The family is descended from Francis Sprague, an early settler of Duxbury."

    John married Mary Badcock 22 Feb 1711, Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, United States. Mary was born 28 Jan 1681, Milton, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died 5 Jan 1722, Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, United States. [Group Sheet]

    BURIAL: Logan Cemetery Records
    NOTE: Civil engineer, legislator and civil servant

    Online Wikipedia entry on Florida, Montgomery, New York, of which the "Village of Port Jackson" was a part at the time of James' birth:
    "In 1880, the "Village of Port Jackson" in the town was annexed to form part of the City of Amsterdam. Port Jackson had been an important port on the Erie Canal and a ferry station connecting the south side of the Mohawk River to the City of Amsterdam."

    Hence, in his journal James says he was born "in the village of Port Jackson, Florida, Amsterdam, Montgomery County, State of New York."
