Peter: There is a SPRAGUE database on the Internet at: http://www.sprague-database.org/ I have seen the name Zerviah SPRAGUE there more than once. You can search for either surname using a Gendex index system. You will need to cut and try to get to the individual you want to look at due to the huge number of individuals on the database. Do print and use the guidelines on how to conduct a search. At 1st it seems very complicated, to an old slide-rule engineer like me, but it catches on and away you go.
