4. Dorcas Sprague b. Abt 1632 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA and died August 15 1702 in Lebanon, New London Co. CT 70 years old. Married Ralph Earle of Portsmouth, Newport Co., RI. October 26, 1659 Francis deeded land to his son-in-law Ralph Earle of Rhode Island. This land, given on the occasion of the marriage of Ralph Earle to Dorcas Sprague, daughter of Francis Sprague and Anne, was apparently a wedding present and may have been some of the land purchased at Dartmouth, considering that the newlyweds almost immediately settled at Dartmouth, Rhode Island after their marriage. Several months after this, in 1660, Francis Sprague's (wife or daughter) Anne died in Duxbury.
