From "The Town of Covington", by Karen Milligan from Historical Wyoming January 1991, Warsaw, NY. There are two separate Sprague references. The first involves Wm. & John Sprague and their sister, Mrs. Jarius Cruttenden, the first family of Coving ton: "From the shadows of the Green Mountains to the sunny flats of the Oatka came Jarius Cruttenden. It is said that the day of the great eclipse of 1806, he chose his land "Here at the Big Spring, a few rods south of where Pearl Creek empties in to the Oatka" he cleared 2 or 3 acres and built a dwelling. He made an agreement with the Holland Land Company at Batavia, an agreement which was later reneged." pg. 68 There are several more paragraphs on Cruttenden which I would be happy to tran scribe for you if interested, since his children are Sprague descendants. "About 1807 0r 8, the brothers of Mrs. Jarius Cruttenden, William and John Sprague, settled east on the same lot. William, a hatter soon built a log house and opened a sho p while John built a tannery in the new settlement." pg. 68
