My great-grandmother Elizabeth Ann SPRINT was the eldest sister of your Minnie SPRINT. There is quite a lot of detail already on the site as mentioned by aljepeka, and I have some detail on the Canadian, American, Australian and New Zealand branches.

Yes, the Massachusetts SPRINTs are part of the Whitley and Elizabeth SPRINT family from Portadown, Armagh.

Whitley and Elizabeth had a family of at least 10 children, the eldest of whom was William SPRINT (b.c. 1820) who married Elizabeth PRESTON on 26 Jan 1858, Mullavilly, Armagh.

William and Elizabeth SPRINT's fifth child was your William SPRINT. (My descent line is through their first child Elizabeth Ann SPRINT (b. 22 May 1859, Derryhale, Armagh)

William SPRINT (b. 1 Oct 1870, Portadown, Armagh) married Annie METCALF (b.c. 1870, Ireland) on  20 Oct 1892 in Taunton, Massachusetts. The children that I am aware of are:
Edith Metcalf SPRINT b.c. 1889, prior to marriage, in Ireland
William SPRINT b. 17 Jul 1893, Massachusetts  d.c. Apr 1965
George SPRINT b. 24 Dec 1894, Taunton, d. 14 Aug 1895, Taunton
Annie W (Anna) SPRINT b. 23 Dec 1896 Taunton, d.? Jan 1977, married Harry J TRUDEL

Hello Adrian
Just replying so Corsamjz knows where we are at. Adrian is my second cousin, and we now have made contact.

I have Whitley SPRINT's death certificate - he died on 12 July 1869 in the house of his son-in-law and daughter (John and Mary PARKER nee SPRINT), in Thomas St, Portadown.

Would you have any suggestions as to where he/other SPRINTs may be buried. Do any headstones still exist for them?

Regards

Hello corsamjz
I have suspected the PRESTONS you mention were brother and sister, but I have never been able to confirm it as the marriage transcripts give William PRESTON as the father of both, but no mention is made of the mother. Do you have her name / details?

I don’t have any photographs, nor any information handed down through the family - all that I have is from certificates etc.

Whitley SPRINT (b. c 1795, where?) died in Portadown on 12 Jul 1869, the informant being his son-in-law  John PARKER of Thomas Street, husband of Mary SPRINT.

Whitley married c1830 to Elizabeth (WOODHOUSE ?) (b.c 1792) who died on 03 Mar 1882 at  Woodhouse's Court, Portadown. The informant was her son William SPRINT, of Watson’s Street, Portadown.

The children I am aware of are:
William SPRINT (c1825 - aft 1882) married Eliza Ann PRESTON (? - ?) daughter of William PRESTON, on 26 Jan 1858, Mullavilly, Armagh
Elizabeth (Eliza) SPRINT (c1830 - ?) married Francis (Frank) PRESTON (c1825 - ?) son of William PRESTON, on 17 Apr 1851, Mullavilly
Thomas SPRINT (c1833 - 11 Nov 1891, Govan, Lanark, Scotland) married (1) Jane ANDERSON (? - bef 1862) daughter of John ANDERSON, on 03 Dec 1852 at Mullavilly, and married (2 ) Mary Jane WOODHOUSE (c1835 - 08 Jan 1879, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland), daughter of John Obins WOODHOUSE
Isabella SPRINT (c1835-1876 Pennsylvania, USA) married William GRIMISON (c1836 - 6 Sep 1918, Pennsylvania, USA)
Mary SPRINT (c1836 - ?) married John PARKER (c1835 - ?) son of James PARKER, on 23 Mar 1854 at Mullavilly
Jennifer Jane (Jenny) SPRINT (c1840 - ?) married (1) William ROWAN (? - bef 1890) son of Daniel ROWAN on 31 Jan 1851 at Rich Hill, Armagh, and married (2) George McClean DOGHERTY (c1833 - ?) son of Hugh DOGHERTY at Belfast, Antrim.
Sarah SPRINT (c1846 - ?1890) married William GAMBLE son of James GAMBLE on 10 Sep 1873 at Drumcree, Armagh

I'll look out some more info shortly.

Hello
I am aware of, and have information on each of 7 children (there may be more) of Whitley SPRINT and his wife Eliza/Elizabeth. I directly descend from their son William who married Eliza Ann PRESTON.
I would love to share information with others interested in the Armagh SPRINTs.

Regards
