There are many trees online claiming Alexander Madison Sprouse-245 is the father of Vincent Sprouse Sr. b. abt 1681 in Bedfordshire, England and died abt 1741, in Jamsstown, Virginia.

Evidence of his existence as well as his parents Jonathan Nicholas Sprouse & his wife Alice Minor are equally scarce or nonexistent.

Does anyone have sources to support the claim that he is the father of Vincent, Charles E, James & Thomas Sprouse that show his existence!

Good question. I'm of the opinion that this person is a myth, or an alias character for this family lineage. There's some relevant data that could explain the alias character hypothesis, but I don't think he is a real person. Vincent, Charles E, James & Thomas Sprouse do have parents, but not much by way of who they are at the moment.

Have some decent hypothesis of the lineage, but it will take some time to cultivate enough sources to present and build consensus with other researchers.
