Materials pertaining to the Sproule family letters, which consist of a number of letters between members of the Sproule family who emigrated from County Tyrone to locations in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Many of the letters are to and from Andrew Sproule, who emigrated sometime before 1845, eventually settling in West Leipsic, Ohio, and who encouraged members of his immediate family to follow. Though few did follow, the letters indicate that other extended family members were also in America and they were in correspondence with each other. The letters date between 1845 and 1890. The series also includes Kerby A. Miller's research on the Sproule family.
