I've come across some confusion when trying to research the parents of Charles Merritt Sprague. The Sprague Project website lists his parents as William Joshua Sprague and Elizabeth P. McGraw, but looking at census records for William Joshua Sprague, they never list Charles Merritt, only Mary and Margrett. Half the trees on Ancestry.com do not list Charles Merritt under the children of William or Elizabeth. My original research led me to believe that Charles Merritt Sprague's mother and father were Charley B (or sometimes listed as V) Sprague and Harriet Rogers Sprague. Several of the census records I've found (1880, 1900) list him as living with Charley and Harriet. Anyone know where the discrepancy is coming from and what is actually true?
