She states "I have numerous paper clippings of the Sprigg ancestry, and one written account containing 22 pages bearing __ __, and a table centering on your branch of Poole ancestry, and it makes quite a big family tree, as my grandfather's mother had ten children and they all branched out until it makes a tree of many branches."
