  Notes	"Sprague Families in America", by Dr. Warren Vincent Sprague, page 208.      Samuel Sprague resided at Abington, MA and Dennysville, ME. The Bangor Historical Magazine says, he emigrated from Hingham in Sloop Sally to Dennysville and lived and died in what is now Pembroke. In Dennysville Centennial, 1886, is given the years of the births of his six children. "From Donna Sprague McCarthy, correspondent.      "Samuel Sprague was one of the band of Patriots who disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians and dumped the tea in Boston harbor at the so called Boston Tea Party.      "He emigrated from Hingham, MA to Dennysville, ME in the sloop "Sally" in 1786 and became one of the first settlers of Dennysville, later known as Pembroke, ME". (Ref. Bangor Historical Magasine 8:27)      He was a private in the Mass. militia, DAR 6519-15086, 22719-24763" NOTE: There is obviously confusion as the listing of the participants in the Boston Tea Party lists only one Samuel.  However, other sources report the Samuel who was a participant as the son of Jeremiah and Elisabeth (Whiton) Sprague.
