Genealogy of John Ewell extending to the 6th generation covering a period " Charles P Sprout"

Hannah daughter of Sarah Anderson, married Charles Sprout and had seven children, (Charles P. Sprout) Holton G Sprout, Adaline S. Sprout, George W. Sprout, Seneca Sprout, Caroline Sprout, John A Sprout

Charles P. Sprout married, and had three children, viz:
Charles C. Sprout, Frank Sprout, Anna L. Sprout

Mr. Sprout had the same desire with his friends and associates in general, to crush the late rebellion in its infancy, and he was one who took a lively interest in organizing the 28th N.Y. volunteer regiment, being on of the first to place his name on the roll as a private. In due time the gallant 28th was mustered into service and recived marching orders, and Mr. Sprout held a Major's commission in the regiment. The Major was ever at his post of duty, and shared the trails and fatigues of th march and the camp with his comrades in arms. At the battle of Cedar Mountian, on the 9th of July, 1862, his regiment was in the advance, and as the Major was leading in the fearful combat, a missile of death was hurled at him from the enemy, and he fell from his horse dead, saying, "Fight on boys, until you conquer or die"
