    Notes:

    Sprague Families in America", by Dr. Warren Vincent Sprague, page 65.
    Parmenas Sprague served in the War of 1812; lived as a farmer at Ira, NY.

    From Virginia Sprague Webster, correspondent. One discrepancy here: His tombstone states that he died 11 June 1871 and on p. 2 of "Hannibal History", it says, "Parmenus died on June 11, 1871 and is buried alongside his wives in the small rural cemetery in Bethel". This is the old Sprague burying ground.

    From Marilyn Owen, correspondent. He is on the 1855 NY State census for Cayuga Co., age 73, born in CT. His 3rd wife Christina, is age 57, born in Saratoga Co., NY. Dolston Sprague [a son by wife #2, Mary Potter], is in the home, age 36, born in Cayuga Co. His occupation is "insurance agent". Living next door is Parmenus' and Christina's son, C.B. Sprague, with his wife and baby daughter. On the 1865 NY state census, Parmenus & Christina are living with their son, C. Burton Sprague and family. Parmenus is age 83; Christina is age 58. Parmenus died in 1871 and is buried in the Bethel Cemetery, in Hannibal, Oswego County, on land which belonged to his father, Thomas Sprague. Parmenus' monument is large and imposing. All three of his wives are buried near him.
