Julie, I have a William Sparks, below, who married into our Lowe family. Please tell me more about your James R. Perhaps he was a relative of my William and is the reason The Sparks and Lowes left Meriwether & Coweta Co., GA and came to Tallapoosa, AL. I have collected lots of names trying to connect, would like to share and maybe we can make some connections. There were Sparks in neighboring Clay Co that I feel are related, also.
