Julien Clinton Sprott of Madison, WI

My branch of the Sprott family originated in Scotland and migrated to Northern Ireland for a few generations. In 1838, Robert Sprott (1808-1862) decided to try his fortune in the new world, and came to Philadelphia from County Down, Ireland. He remained there for eighteen months before joining his brother Samuel Sprott who had arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1828 and then moved to Alabama. Robert Sprott was a rather unsuccessful farmer, but he had seven children, including three boys who were in the Confederate Army. One of these, James Sprott (1834-1864) was mortally wounded at the Battle of New Hope Church, dying a week later in Atlanta. He had three children, one who died as an infant, a girl, and a boy, William Leonidas Sprott (1862-1940) of Memphis, Tennessee, who was my grandfather.
