Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, Lafayette Spriggs (ca.1843-1913) was one of four soldiers who provided affidavits for my third-great grandfather William Cooper's pension application. Spriggs and Cooper served in Company "E" of the Union Army's Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. The affidavit was written in the 1880s in Greenup or Lewis County, Kentucky. I would like to correspond with anyone who is interested in the Spriggses, so that we can exchange information. One of the things I am going to try to find out is where in Ohio Benjamin F. Spriggs (1813-1871) was living between 1843 and 1849. Benjamin F. Spriggs was Lafayette's father. The second item of interest is Lafayette Spriggs's whereabouts around 1883. If I can locate Mr. Spriggs's residence in the 1880s, I may be able to locate the dwellingplace of William Cooper, since in the early 1880s, William Cooper was supposedly living near Lafayette Spriggs. I think that William Cooper was living in Greenup County around 1882, not far from the Lewis County line. In the 1880 Census of Greenup County, page 69B, Lafayette Spriggs had a Liberty post office address. That is not specific enough, however, to determine which hollow, which creek Mr. Spriggs lived in or on. Having a Liberty post office address did not mean that Mr. Spriggs could not have lived on Schultz Creek, Horse Hollow or Stockham/Stockholm Creek. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

During my research with other family memebers, I have learn that Uncle Levi/Lee probably was not killed by another woman's husband.

Spriggs > Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky Mailing List, > > Lafayette Spriggs (ca.1843-1913) was one of four soldiers who provided > affidavits for my third-great grandfather William Cooper's pension > application. Spriggs and Cooper served in Company "E" of the Union > Army's Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. The > affidavit was written in the 1880s in Greenup or Lewis County, Kentucky. > I would like to correspond with anyone who is interested in the > Spriggses, so that we can exchange information. > > One of the things I am going to try to find out is where in Ohio > Benjamin F. Spriggs (1813-1871) was living between 1843 and 1849. > Benjamin F. Spriggs was Lafayette's father. > > The second item of interest is Lafayette Spriggs's whereabouts around > 1883. If I can locate Mr. Spriggs's residence in the 1880s, I may be > able to locate the dwellingplace of William Cooper, since in the early > 1880s, William Cooper was supposedly living near Lafayette Spriggs. I > think that William Cooper was living in Greenup County around 1882, not > far from the Lewis County line. > > In the 1880 Census of Greenup County, page 69B, Lafayette Spriggs had a > Liberty post office address. That is not specific enough, however, to > determine which hollow, which creek Mr. Spriggs lived in or on. Having a > Liberty post office address did not mean that Mr. Spriggs could not have > lived on Schultz Creek, Horse Hollow or Stockham/Stockholm Creek. > > Thank you for your help! > > Sincerely, > > Randal W.
