I'm not sure if we are connected or not, but I saw your post on ancestry and thought you could help me sift through some of the confusion.
I'll give you my direct line with (*) next to the name. From what I have and hopefully it matches your information too. Any help would be awesome. I'm fairly sure about James Spradlin and Sarah Sally McMurray, but I'm unsure about his father and so on. It becomes confusing because there are so many James Spradlins.

Any help would be great. I'd really like to find out where my family comes from and how the last name may have changed over time. I do have some photo's of these folks and others. I hope theres a connection. Thanks
