James Spruell posted on Genforum:
John Spruill of Abbeville, SC is believed to have married Sarah Currell (daughter of William Currell), and to have moved to SC from NC. Below are some entries for Sarah Spruill (possibly wife of John Spruill), Simeon (son), Nancy (daughter), Betsy (probably daughter in law), and Elizabeth Spruill from the Turkey Creek Baptist Church minutes. It appears that John Spruill never joined the Church, and may have belonged to the Church of England (St. Andrews Chapel, NC), having "Paid their Equal Parts Towards the Chapel Call'd St. Andrews" (minutes recorded by the Church of England).
