I have another puzzle in my family tree and wonder if anyone can help?

In the 1870 census on Groton Twp. their is a John Wheat listed. Under his
name are a couple of children with last names being different. One of those
children is my G-G-Grandmother, Gertrude Sprauge. At the time John is in
his thirties.
Does anyone have information on this John Wheat?

When I was growing up I was told that Gertrude was a Wheat and that she was
adopted because she was half Indian and half white.But I found out that she
was a Sprague and her parents were Ezra and Susan (Baker) Sprague. They came
from around Sandusky. I can't find any anything on them as of yet. The only
information I have on them is from the death certificate of Gertrude. That
information was supplied by her daughter,Natalie White.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Leora
