We flew to Pittsburgh, PA the last weekend of July to a Sprowls' Family Reunion. It was in a tiny town of Claysville, which is about an hour SW of Pittsburgh. We stopped and took a picture in front of this little hardware store that bears our name. We had never met any of these people, (who pronounce their name (SprOWLS, like the bird) and went with the anticipation of tying our family to theirs. They all come from a brother, Arthur Sprowls. We think we may come from another brother James or John. Steve can only trace his family back three generations to Benham, Kentucky. He is hoping the family historians that we met can help him connect the lines. The family was amazingly hospitible and we had fun seeing our name around town. Sarah was excited that there were 2 other Sarah Sprowls in the family!
