Marion, thanks for the kind offer. I`m looking for my greatgrandfathers brother and sister, William and Martha Glendinning ( sometimes spelt Clendinning ) They emigrated to RI about 1890. Their parents were William Henry Glendinning and Rachel Glendinning (McCord ). William Glendinning ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marion A.

Being descended from William Sprague and Joshua Sprague, I must think that somehow Spragueville, near Smithfield, must be named for my ancestors. Does anyone have a historical sketch on Spragueville? Also--- What do you know about the Ross family who lived in Glocester, RI? My Zerviah Sprague married a David Ross.... these were first generation born in either Providence County or in Adams, Berkshire, MA after a clump a Rhode Islanders moved up to the Berkshires. Since this was a trend to move from RI to the Berkshire hills in about 1776 to 1783 someone must know about this. I sure don't and it is cold and wet here in California and I am bored and need a genealogicl fix. Help, I am in withdrawals. Thanks Peter http://members.aol.com/ancestour/MASTHEAD.html

Put the CD in, push Start, Run, D Drive (or whatever drive yours is) and then Setup and then follow the instructions. That should get it open for you. Elaine

Looks like you got your information from the RI Historical Cemetery Transcription Project. Suggest you ask for a look up in the Random Acts of Genealogocal Kindness for RI.
