Ancestral file had this John Sprague married to Lydia Goff, daughter of Edward and Lydia (Joyce) Goff of Cambridge, MA. However, according to New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1954, volume 108, pg 227, Lydia Goff was married to John Sprague, son of Ralph Sprague and Joan Warren. He was born in 1624 in Hingham, MA, died 1683 in Mendon, MA, 3 years before Benjamin, son of John and Lydia, was born. She died in Malden 1715. She and her children are mentioned in her father's will dated 1657 and proved 1658, as recorded in the Register (http://www.americanancestors.org/PageDetail.aspx?recordId=135443922)

NEHGS Register, volume 87, beginning on page 149 is a publication of The Children and Grandchildren of Capt. Myles Standish. Page 160 has the following entry:
"Lois (Standish) Calkins m. (2) 21 Mar. 1727, as his second wife, Lieut. John Sprague, who d. 6 Mar 1728, son of John and Ruth (Bassett) Sprague. His first wife, Lydia, d. 18 July 1725. The identity of Lois as the widow of John Sprague is established by the following deed, dated 26 Jan 1729 and signed by Lowis Sprague, Miles Standish, Elizabeth Standish, and Amie Standish, the last three being children of Israel Standish:"

Spragues in North Lebanon, CT at the time of a rate bill 14 Dec 1741 (NEHGS Register, volume 20, pg. 46): Ephraim, Peleg, Perez, John, Elijah.

NEHGS Register, vol. 118, pg. 267 " On 14 May 1719 the General Court empowered Joseph Backus of Norwich and John Sprague of Lebanon 'to sell and confirm several tracts of land to ye north of Volintown and west to sd Volintown... to such persons as will settel ye same for ye promoting sd town.' Under this authority Backus and Sprague sold, on 6 Feb 1723/4, 130 acres of land to 'Sam Church of Volintown.' On the same day they sold 200 acres to Robert Parke and Samuel Church."

John md. (2) Lois Abel (according to the record, but see notes above identifying her as Lois Standish) on 21 Mar 1726 in Lebanon. He & his wife Lydia moved to Lebanon,Conn. in 1703.
On 14 Jul 1718, John Sprague Sr. & John Sprague Jr., agree to liberate Jack, an Indian slave bought by them, when he had served faithfully 12 years, and gave him a colt which they agree to keep free of charge until Jack sees fit to dispose of him. They also give him a ewe sheep which they agree to keep and her increase for two years.(F.S.of D, p. 12-13)

MARRIAGE: ATGG, pg. 113 (married by 6 Nov 1683, no surname known)
DEATH: ATGG, pg. 113. 1992 AF# 92CP-0G: 11 Dec 1715, Malden, MA or Lebanon, CT
NOTE: ATGG, pg. 130 lists children

Pg 114 notes: "It is unfortunate that the identity of John's first wife, Lydia, remains unsolved for she was the mother of all his seven children and may have been a Mayflower descendent."

Ancestral file had a birthdate of 18 Jul 1658, Duxbury, but I found no Lydia's born on that date in Duxbury records. This is likely an error, as no parents are listed and it is unlikely a date would be available without the parents.
