Third marriage was to Mary Mowry of Providence on March 6, 1727. [Is it possible this marriage is confused with the marriage of his son, Jonathan, to Mary Mowry since this marriage was recorded as March 6, 1727 and the marriage of his son was recorded as May 6, 1727.]
3] "The Genealogical Register", April 1909, page 151.
The second wife of Jonathan Sprague was on 17 September 1713 to Hannah Hawkins. No third marriage is mentioned. Also, a son Daniel, b. 28 Mar 1712/1713 is listed but seems unlikely given the date of death of his first wife and the date of marriage to his second wife.

He deeded land to his son William 29 Dec. 1737 (Smithfield Deeds, Vol. 1, p. 326.)
