- From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of February 2, 2010
W. V. Sprague also documented a daughter Maria and a correct married surname although he had the wrong given name for her husband -

=====
According to her gravestone, Maria was born 26June1822. A number of online family histories report Maria was born in 1832. Maria married in 1847. Although a marriage at 15 is certainly possible a marriage at 25 is more likely. In the 1850 census Maria reports she is 28 years oold and in 1860 38 years old, both ages support a birth year c1822.
