I am in possession of a sterling silver blood letting kit engraved with the medical staff and serpent, and above it what looks like 2 medicine vials. On the bottom is inscribed "M. Sproull Nr Craigs" (Nether Craigs near Paisley). Inside are various cutters and probes, one bearing the inscription "Princess Charlotte died" and on the reverse "06 Nov 1817". Family lore has it Matthew was a doctor; however I can find no reference to substantiate this, nor if he was present during delivery/death of Princess Charlotte.
Matthew Sproull (1774-1863)

I wonder how many members of the Sproull family can claim ancestry to Matthew Sproull born 1737 in "Greenfields of Caldwell"? I believe Caldwell at this time to have been the ruins of an old castle near the village of Uplawmoor, East Renfrewshire. His son Matthew immigrated with wife Marion King and family to Nova Scotia aboard the "Mercator", landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1823. I would love to share information with anyone interested in this branch of our illustrious ancestors.
