Answer 1

Just as a follow-up to above newspaper account of death & burial of Annie Sprouse, formally Annie Ragland.  She remarried after death of her husband thus last name Sprouse.  I have personally walked the cemetery grounds several times & consulted with funeral home as well as prominent local manteo churches & local historians as to her burial site; without anyone being able to locate her grave although article even has account of Rev. Humble performing ceremony on site of her burial.

Answer 2

Ann, thank you for sharing this old newspaper article. A wonderful way to remember someone who has gone before.

Answer 3

Thank you for this picture. On wikitree it shows that I am related to Ann only through her husband, Dabney Sprouse. However, on Geni website (Here) it shows my ancestor, John Bragg (1733), and Ann's grandfather, Elias Bragg, as brothers. Just wondering if there are any reliable records to make that connection?
