Notes for Diane Wilson
The sister of Anfrew Wilson from Shinglas Casthe, near Ballymore.
Notes for John (Spouse 1)
The Captain John Sproule, who came to Athlone with a Highland regiment, about 1660 is my ancestor. In 1669, he married Diana Wilson, the sister of Andrew Wilson of Shinglas Castle near Ballymore. Capt. John Sproule first lived near Tuberit, near Castle Daly, County Westmeath. In 1675, he purchased Gurtnacassa Castle or Longfield form Mr. Dodwell who married the daughter and heiress of Edward Coyle. Edward Coyle erected the castle in 1646. The castle is located on a hill about 12 miles, northwest of Athlone and 12 miles from the battle of Anghrim. When we visited the castle in 1968, it was in uins. The roof was completely gone but some of the walls were standing. Captain John Sproule was born in 1626 and died 1730, aged 104 years. He is interred in the Church of Tisrara graveyard. This grave yard is located a short distance from what was the front of the castle. The gravestone is carved with the Sprouls coat of Arms.
