Several months ago, an inquiry was made why people moved to Ohio at the end of the Revolutionary War. THE OFFICIAL ROSTER OF THE SOLDIERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BURIED IN THE STATE OF OHIO compiled by the State Chairman of the DAR, Jane Dowd Dailey, publishing date circa 1959, has some interesting data-- page 334: James Sprague, son of Maj Joshua Sprague . . . was given a land grant of 320 A in the Refugee Tract in O for his service in the Revolution . . . Major Joshua Sprague was given a land grant of 960 A in the Refugee tract for service in the Revolution in 1812. He had arrived there in 1788 or 1789. Major Sprague was one "ticked off" warrior, having been been driven out of Nova Scotia where he had moved prior to the Revolution. He had lost everything; when not serving as an officer, he was enlisting as a private. He and several sons had war records. The Sprague's had enough descendants in Ohio to field their own army in later years.
