John's years of birth and death are estimated. We know he died before 15 Aug 1822 when an auction of his possessions was held at his home [Book A2, p. 72].

The names of 10 children are known: Nancy Ann (Gay); William, Michael; Elizabeth (Darby); Susannah (Corwin); Sally (Merritt); Martha (Hurley); Isaiah; David Allen; and Lucy Ann (Bullett). John, a blacksmith, settled in Warwick Co. in 1803. The family came to Indiana from Henderson Co., KY. The following is from "Warrick and its Prominent People," published by the Courier Company in 1881: "The first white man said to have settled in Warrick county was John Sprinkle, a native of Pennsylvania, who founded the town of Sprinklesburg, which was superseded by Newburgh. Mr. Sprinkle removed from his native State to Henderson county, Kentucky, in the year 1772 [sic - undoubtedly 1792], where he lived until 1803, when he removed to where Newburgh now stands, and settled with a large family of children. During his residence in Kentucky he had received the title of Major of the State Militia, and was a man of honor and high social standing in his community. He died in 1821." According to research done by Opal Phillips when she compiled information for "They Came to Warrick County, Indiana," John and Susannah were buried in a family plot near their home and later re-interred in Sharon Cemetery.
