A notation by Sprinkle descendant,

Glenn E. Perry:
We believe that my ancestor, Herl Sprinkle, was
a brother of Napoleon, son of Jacob Sprinkle,
who in turn was descended from one of the
three (formerly believed to be six) immigrants
- the original name was Sprenckel -
from Germany, who first settled in York, PA,
in the early 18th century. One branch moved to
Virginia. But the parentage of Herl is not
proved. I knew from my grandmother that
they came from Lee County, VA.


SPRENKEL DNA PROJECT
Excerpts of relevant comments by researcher Margaret L. Sopp:
". . . I wonder if there is a Sprinkles male descended from
James Robert Sprinkles who would consider participating in
the Sprenkel DNA Project. . . . several years ago,
a descendant [sic], indicated that his branch of Sprinkles
might not be (as I think he termed it) 'real Sprinkles'.'
Putting together all the little tidbits we have gathered,
I wonder if Daniel [James Robert's father] was
Napoleon's [James Robert's grandfather's] illegitimate stepson.
We don't have a first name for the stepson, but we do know
from Napoleon's trial information that the stepson's
surname was Fry. Did he later go by the Sprinkle surname?"
