From Representative Women of New England (Google eBook) Julia Ward Howe, Mary Hannah Graves.  New England Historical Publishing Company, 1904 - New England - 499 pages. Pages 178-181.  "Anna Maria Miles Sprague." 

...  in his interesting book, "Personal Recollections of General Nelson A. Miles," in referring to their mother, General Miles says:

"My mother, Mary Curtis, possessed traits of character similar to those of my father, and excelled in those which most adorn womanhood. It is not possible adequately to express my sense of obligation for her devotion. She was a true Christian. Never was one more earnestly prayed for during childhood and manhood, during peace and war, than myself. It was her loftiest ambition to guide her children, by good example, pure thoughts, upright and praiseworthy life, to honorable and noble purpose. To her unselfish devotion, her gentle and loving admonitions, am I greatly indebted for whatever there may be in me that is commendable. My mother was a direct descendant of William Curtis, who arrived in Boston on the ship 'Lyon,' September 16, 1632."
