General Notes: Husband - James Spriggs


He was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and reared on his father's farm, attending in his boyhood the subscription schools of his district, which in those early days were of a somewhat primitive character. He held the office of constable eleven years; was sheriff one term (1837-'40), register of wills one term (1842-'45), and was assistant burgess at the time of his death, which was caused by falling on his head when jumping out of a wagon, death ensuing a few days afterward.

He and his wife had a family of ten children, all of whom died young except one daughter, Mary Ann, and a son, Joseph M.
