Mr. Spruell
Thank you very much for all of your research.
I have been reseaching the Spru... for a few years and have read all of your postings. Recently, in trying to find my great-great-grandfather,Andrew Sprueill, in Monroe, LA with his son, Andrew, bornthere in 1865, I've researched John Spruell SC with the will 1808. He names a son, John. I think that his son John married Nancy Smith, based on your Turkey Creek Baptist Church records in SC.
