More on my SPREWELL's in SC-GA-AL
FYI ---
Here's some more info. on two different SPRUIELL (Spruell, Spruiell, Spruill, Sprewell, etc. sp.) lines. One being mine, and the other belonging to Marcella.
Maybe someone can see a connection to one, or both, of them. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Martha

Hi Marcella,
SPRUIEL (Spruell, Spruill, Sprewell, et al sp.) -
The Sprewell link is one that I've been chasing lately.
I don't have much on them in AL, but they did live at
one time in Laurens Dist, SC; some of them moved to
(Coweta, Fayette &/or Talbot Co,GA) by the mid 1800's;
and then to St. Clair (Wolf Creek) & then to Shelby Co,
AL after that.
My 4th Gr-G.mother was MAHALA SPREWELL (b.1793, Laurens
Co,SC- d.1818, Lowndesville,Anderson Co,SC). She died as
a young mother, and her husband Alexander CULBERTSON
re-married, later moving to (west GA); then into AL (St.Clair Co, Wolf Creek area).
Later some descendants mar. into my GRIMES & MARTIN lines that moved west from there into Shelby Co,AL.
One of Mahala Sprewell's (possible) brothers, or cousins,
was JEPTHA SPREWELL (also sp. SPRUEL/L) was on the 1850
Talbot Co,GA census for 1850 as being 66, born in SC
(abt.1884-5). See the following link to that info. -http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/talbot/census/1850/i-qpg2.txt
His land lay west of the Flint River on Land Lot # 152 in Talbot Co,GA.Sprewell's Bluff is named for him. He may have won it in one of the land lotteries of the 1820-1830 time frame in GA.
His 1st wife- Jemima (Spears)- was listed along w/ their youngest son James Sprewell. The couple also had the following children: George, Wm., John, Arch; Dedana (Hughes), Savannah (Turner), Amanda (McDill), Margaret (Carmichael).
Jeptha Sprewell's will of 11/1873 in Talbot Co,GA has
his name sp. several ways in that one document. SPRUELL
is one.His wife (2nd) at that date was Mary F.
Do you know much about your SPRUIELL (et al sp.) line?
Where were they located...and when?
I'm trying to find Jeptha and/or Mahala SPREWELL's parents
back in SC.
Thanks for any help,Martha
