Edward Sprague of Upway, Dorset, England had three sons who came to Salem, Mass in 1628, Ralph, Richard and William Sprague.  Richard died without issue, but Ralph and William left long lines of descendants.  I have my own line to Ralph, which I won't detail here, but here is the line from Edward and William down to the Global Family Reunion Tree: 

Edward Sprague > his son William Sprague > his son Anthony Sprague > his son Jeremiah Sprague > his son Anthony Sprague > his son David Sprague > his son, Almon Sprague -> his wife, Lucy Bentley Sprague -> her brother, Orlando Bentley -> his wife, Caroline Sears Bentley -> her sister, Elizaette Sears Austin -> her son, Duane S. Austin -> his son, Lloyd Austin -> his daughter, Gertrude Austin English -> her husband, James A. English -> his father, John Royal English -> his mother, Alice Parker Finnell -> her husband Ashford Bartlett Finnell -> his sister, Nora Finnell Ayers -> her husband, Frank C. Ayers -> his father, George Ayers -> his wife, Nancy Morrison Ayers -> her daughter, Nellie Crowley Kuntz -> her husband, Edward Kuntz -> his sister, Emma Kuntz Ferrell -> her daughter, Georgia Ferrell Hirsch Takacs -> her husband, Irwin Hirsch -> his mother, Harriet Friedenheit Hirsch -> her sister, Sophie Friedenheit Kingsbacher (AJ's 2nd great grandmother).

Note that along the way, I also added the wives of David, Anthony and Jeremiah and tagged them with the Global_Family_Reunion category tag because they all have lines that need work!

Awesome!
Wait, wait, I missed one!  The son of Jeremiah is Knight Sprague.  His son was Anthony.  Knight's wife Mary Lewis is in there, too.

By the way, I also added the American Revolution Veterans category to both Knight and Anthony, his son.  They both fought for our Independence.
Impressive and fantastic, Kyle. I am so glad you were able to jump on board with us! Thank you.

Luckily, I've had the time and energy lately.  I have a history of doing genealogy in fits and starts, though, so hopefully I can keep this going.
