1. THOMAS SPREULL OF GOLAN
was born about 1680 in Golan, south-east of Castlederg in County Tyrone, the
son of Samuel Sproule of Golan. Thomas of Golan first appears on a deed in 1718 witnessing a deed for Cornet Andrew Spreull. He is called a distiller in
some documents and as owner of a bleachgreen in others. Thomas Spreull died in 1761 in Golan
and left a will naming his wife MARY and his three sons, James, Samuel and John the Apocethary. The land in Golan and Drumnabeigh had already passed to Oliver, the son of Thomas' oldest son Robert. The name is spelt ‘Spreull’ on most of the early documents. It is worth noting that the name is spelt 'Sproull' on most of the documents from the 1800s.
Thomas Sproule of Golan and Mary had the following children:
