Her speech is very poor and most of the time we use a board for her to spell out words when she wants to tell us something. Brenda suffers from Lupus and strokes are common with some kinds of Lupus.

45 Ed Sprouse was born on September 20, 1923 on a farm in Lamar County, Alabama located about 10 miles south of Vernon, Alabama. At an early age it seemed he was talented in singing gospel songs at church. By the time he was 4 years of age, he was singing solos in his sunday school class. Later, at 5 or 6 he attended some local singing schools during the summer months and learned to read shaped note music. Our family was a singing family. We owned an organ. You had to pedal the bellows to get the sound going. His father, 2 sisters and 1 brother would stand around the organ and sing while one of the sisters played the organ. At the age of 13 or 14, the Lamar County Quartet asked him to sing high tenor in their group. He tried it and enjoyed it very much. For the next 4 years he sang with the group in many all day singings and did a few concerts. The members of the group were: Ed Sprouse, first tenor; Junie Harper, lead; Jeff Finch, baritone; Noah Pennington, bass; Adine Cross, piano.
Ed attended Lamar County public schools and graduated from Millport High School in April of 1941 at the age of 17. Shortly after graduation, he won first prize in a contest that Stamps Baxter Music & Printing Company was promoting. The winner received a free trip to Dallas, Texas for the Music School which they had going for 3 weeks in June each summer. He received FREE, all the charges for the 3 weeks tuition, plus all the private lessons he could get in his schedule. In addition, his room rent and food was FREE. He estimated the monetary value to him was worth about $ 400.00. That was a very big amount in 1941. Many people were working at that time for a whole year for around $ 800.00.

47 From "Descendants of Jacob Hoots," by Carl Casper Hoots:

His first marriage was in Spartanburg, SC, 1811, to Lucy Barnett who was b. 1792-3, d. 1-18-1813 in Spartanburg Co. SC at the age of 20 yrs. She was bur. in Barnett Family Cem. which was located in Camp Croft Park. Lucy was dau. of Rev. Micajah Barnett, b. 5-13-1760 in Goochland Co. VA and d. 1-9-1837 and bur. in the Barnett Family Cemetery. Lawrence and Lucy had one daughter, Sally, before her early death. Ref: Mrs. Theron E. Barnett, P. 0. Box 292, Greer, SC, 12-29-1983.

Lawrence Hoots 2/M according to census records of 1840 Henderson Co. 3/M 12-7-1862, at Fayette, Lamar Co. AL to Polly Ann Murphy.

To follow his activities let us look at the 1790 census of Surry Co. It would appear that he is the son of John Hoots:

The 1790 Federal census of Surry Co. NC, shows John Hoots, 1 male 0 to 10 yrs, 1 male over 16, and 2 females

Moved with his father to Wilkes Co. in 1797.

Census of Wilkes Co. 1800 shows John Hoots and Males 1 0 to 10 yrs, 1 10 to 16 yrs, 1 16 to 26 yrs, 1 45 & up; Females 2 0 to 10 yrs, 1 10 to 16 yrs, 1 16 to 26 yrs, 1 45 & up

Lawrence and Peter Hutes signed a petition at Huntsville, NC, to change the name of Huntsville to Eatonsville, Oct. 7, 1807. It appears that this petition was kept at the Clingman store at Huntsville, at which people from all over northwest North Carolina traded, and that they signed the petition when they came to the store.

War of 1812. Enlisted 8 June 1812 at Huntsville. Served in the 8th Reg. of Infantry commanded by Lt. Samuel Riddle, Was in campaigns in Canada under Gen. Brown. Was in battle of Bridgwater. Was at taking of Fort Erie. Was stationed at Rock Island, IL, thence transferred to Fort Crawford, Alabama Territory, and there discharged, 8 June 1818.

He returned to NC and is found in Rutherford Co. census of 1820: Lawrence Hoots, and one male, 26 to 45 years; one female, 0 to 10 years, one female 16 to 26 years.

Lawrence Hoots found in Buncombe Co. 1830. Buncombe was taken from Rutherford Co. By 1840 Henderson had been taken from Buncombe.

Henderson Co. Census 1840: Hoots, Lawrence and Males 1 10 to 15 yrs, 1 15 to 20 years, 1 40 to 50; Females 1 15 to 20 yrs, 1 30 to 40 yrs, 1 70 to 80 yrs.

We believe that Joseph who m. Liza Jane Williams was Lawrence's son, since he was the only known Hoots to be in Henderson Co. at this time, besides Lawrence. Henderson Co. census does not show Lawrence in 1850. He had moved to Fayette Co. AL later known as Lamar Co. and was m. to Polly Ann Murphy, widow of Wm. Murphy. She states that her husband is dead and that Lawrence's former wife is dead. He drew a pension until his death Sept. I, 1878, and she drew a pension until her death. They were m. on Dec. 7, 1862. Polly Ann Hoots d. 9-16-1905. Lawrence made application for pension on 5-27-1871 and was a resident of Big Pond, Sanford Co. (now Lamar County, Alabama)

Lawrence and his siblings Henry, Margaret and Phillip were shown in John Hoots' household in the 1810 Wilkes County census: John Hoots and Males 2 under 10 yrs, 1 10 to 16 yrs, 1 16 to 16 yrs, 1 26 to 45 yrs, 1 over 45, Females 1 10 to 16 years, 1 16 to 26 years, 1 45 and over.
