Melinda's parentage is unknown. A Sprinkle father's name is on her death certificate but it is impossible to read. Mother is shown as unknown. The father's name might read Lish Sprinkle. If so, then it's possible she is the daughter of Elisha Sprinkle, who died during the Civil War, and his wife Elizabeth Galey. At the time of the 1870 census, she was living with James Sprinkle and wife Elizabeth Frakes. Elizabeth is too old to be her mother. In the same household is Daniel Sprinkle, who was Elisha's son. Elisha was a half brother to James. However there are Civil War widow's pension papers for Elisha's widow Elizabeth and only two children are mentioned (Daniel and Jesse), not Melinda. Whatever her parentage, Melinda is a Perry Co., IN Sprinkle. Can you identify her parents?
