They had 7 children: Sarah who m. William Kelly, Phoebe married Wm. Southwick, James m. Lydia Haywood (my gr. grandfather), Reuben m.

Willits 11,May 1864 (buried in West Creek, NJ), Henry Elwood, and Jedremiah Adolphus,d. as a baby. So, Sarah (above) and Ann Eliza were sisters. I do have the newspaper clipping of Ann's Willits estate. Jeremiah's father was a John Spragg who m. a Mary (Key)??? John and Mary lived next door to son, Jeremiah in 1850. I have searched for yrs. concerning my John's father. My guess, at the present, is that it was either James Sprague who m. Rachel Perkins or a John Sprague who m. a Sarah Seaman. I will not go into dates at the present. And, Mary's last name is down in the records as Mary Key, but there actually is not a deFinite proof, but close to it that it is "Key." As to Arthur T.

The Willits family goes back to a Richard Willits (born in England ca. 1618/22) and he m. a Mary Washburn . They came to USA ca. 1648/49 and he died in Hempstead, NY ca. 1688. Richard and Mary had Hope Willits (male) who m. Mercy Langdon. Next on the agenda: Eugene F. Cranmer m. as his 2nd wife: Anna Maria Kelly, daug. of Wm. and Sarah(Sprague) Kelly. They were married on 3, January 1888. She was b. 1865. In 1900Eugene was a grocer in West C reek, NJ and in 1910 postmaster. In 1920 Anna was the postmistress at West Creek.
