General Notes: Husband - James Spriggs

---

He was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and reared on his father's farm, attending in his boyhood the subscription schools of his district, which in those early days were of a somewhat primitive character. He was a leader in the councils of the whigs; held the office of constable eleven years; was sheriff one term (1837-'40), register of wills one term (1842-'45), and was assistant burgess at the time of his death. He died from injuries sustained when he caught his heel while jumping out of a wagon and fell on his head, death ensuing a few days afterward, he then being fifty-three years of age.
