NOTE:
The following family is a slight possibility for the family of our Uriah Springer, b. abt. 1796, VA. (One of the census' says PA, but most say VA/WV.) AND, there is a William. Could it be the William who married Evelinah Selby in Tyler County and then lived in Wetzel near Uriah?

PROBLEM:
Kathleen Rizer has William b. 1784, the FIRST child of Uriah & Sarah Crawford Springer (She was previously married to Major William Harrison). However, in Sarah's will, written in 1827, she leaves son, William G. Springer, and step-brother John Harrison, in the care of the 4 other Springer siblings. At their advanced ages at that time, there must have been a reason that William & John weren't able to live independently.

Tri-County Researcher, July 1993, published the "Appraisement Bill of the Personal Property of William Springer", deceased 12 Sept 1833. In this article, it is stated that William and Evalinah Selby Springer were married in Tyler County 14 Aug 1821; they had emigrated from Sweden to Christiana, Delaware; from Delaware to Berkeley Co., WV and then to Monongalia Co., WV, probably before 1770.

Uriah Springer, s/o Dennis Springer & Ann Prickett, born 18 Nov 1754, Frederick Co., VA, died 1826 near Connellsville, Fayette Co., PA, buried Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA, Chestnut Hill C. His wife was Sarah O. Crawford, born 1754 Berkeley County, WV, died Sept 1835 Dunbar Twp., Fayette Co., PA.

Children:
