| 1. | Millicent Eames was born in 1615; died on 9 Feb 1695 in Hingham, Plymouth, MA. Notes:
William Sprague married by 1635, Millicent Eames, daughter of Anthony Eames [see below]. On 3 April 1635 Millicent Sprague was admitted to Charlestown church. She died at Hingham on 9 February 1695/6.
They had ten children: Anthony, John, Samuel, Jonathan, Persis Doggett, Joanna Church, Jonathan, William, Mary King, Hannah.
There is apparently no document which states explicitly the parentage of Millicent, wife of William Sprague, but the identity is supported by much indirect evidence. Alice Sprague, sister of the three immigrant brothers, had married at Fordington St. George a Richard Eames; several children of Anthony Eames (not including Millicent) were baptized at Fordington St. George; Anthony Eames was apparently son of Thomas and Millicent (_____) Eames. The marriage of William Sprague and Millicent apparently took place in late 1634 or early 1635, not long after Anthony Eames arrived in New England and settled at Charlestown, and Anthony Eames and William Sprague moved from Charlestown to Hingham at about the same time. William and Millicent named their eldest son Anthony. Inasmuch as the marriage of Anthony Eames and the baptism of his presumed eldest child Millicent do not appear in the Fordington St. George records, it may be that these events occurred in the home parish of Anthony's wife.
