I’m seeking help locating original records, especially surviving church birth/baptism, marriage, and burial records, for my wife’s Spragg/Sprague ancestors in Springfield/Belleisle, Kings Co., New Brunswick.

All dates below are approximate:
• Elizabeth Ann Spragg (Sprague) - b. ~9 Sept 1835, Springfield, NB

• William Harding Spragg - b. ~17 Mar 1804, Springfield, NB; d. ~4 Jul 1858, Iowa

• Jane Burnett - b. ~8 Sept 1811, Springfield, NB; d. ~6 Sept 1889, Nebraska

• Caleb Thomas Spragg - b. ~11 Dec 1766, Fishkill, NY; d. ~21 Feb 1830, Springfield, NB

• Thomas Spragg - b. ~23 Feb 1729, Hempstead, NY; d. ~22 Feb 1812, Springfield, NB

Thomas Spragg was reportedly a pioneer of the first English settlement on the Belleisle in Kings County, established in 1783.

I would appreciate help locating church registers, archives, cemetery records, historical collections, or other original sources documenting this family.

Thank you!
