I am researching the ancestors and decendents for my daughters's on their father's side. I have very limited information on the SPRAGUE/BUSHNELL side, some of which is listed below.

My husband is a Martin, and the first one we can find is a John Martin who probably would have been born around 1840-1855, probably in Ireland and he died in Amherst MA, probably. Isn't Monterey near Amherst??? He was married to a Jeanette Avery, maybe born in Vermont or born in CT and moved to VT. Their son was Ernest Dwight Martin b. 5/28/1876 in Holyoke, MA who m. 1906 Bertha May Kelso and they lived in Huntington, Hampshire, MA. That's my husband's grandfather. John Martin had so many kids that some went to live with other people and some even took other last names, so perhaps they were actually adopted. Do you think it's possible that your John could be a son of my John? Are you sure yours was born in Ireland, or could it have been his father who was??? The Sprague and Rogers names intrigue me, too. I have them in one of my lines. I have a Love Sprague who m. Judah Bartlett born aft 1725 in Plymouth. And I have a Lovina Sprague b. 1808 in Hawley MA who m. Anthony Sears. I think she was d/o William and Rhoda Sprague, but nothing is known of any of these. I have Anne Rogers b. 4/3/1785 in Conway MA who m. John Starks III b. 1783 in Lyme NH, but whose parents lived in CT. She was d/o Daniel Rogers and Anna Brewster of Lebanon CT. Do you have any info on the ancestry of your Bertha Rogers in CT? Sorry I don't have anything specific for you, but I did want to touch base with you in case you think we may have a connection or two. Sue in MA
