Sprague?
I once sold an antique 19th century magazine article about the Boston Tea Party to a man in Wisconsin.
His last name was Sprague; his great-great-great-great-great (I forget how many greats) grandfather was a member of the original Boston Tea Party. His ancestor was a teenage boy who dressed up as an Indian, boarded an English ship, and split open crates of tea with a small ax or hatchet and dumped the contents in Boston harbor back in the 1700’s.
As you clearly implied, people over the years moved and spread out all over the country.
My ancestors came as part of William Pitt’s fleet to what is now Pennsylvania in 1690. Most people with our surname no longer live there.
