General Notes: Husband - John Sprowls


The history of the Sprowls family in America dates back to the close of the Revolutionary war, when John Sprowls, with his wife and nine children, left County Tyrone (or County Fermanagh), Ireland, for the United States, and made his home in Pennsylvania, near where Shippensburg now stands, and in what was known as the "Horseshoe Bend." He afterward moved to Finley township, Washington County, and settled on what is now known as the William Sprowls farm, near Good Intent, where he and his wife lived till their deaths. From this parent stock sprung the Sprowlses of East and West Finley townships.
