I have their marriage record. It says Miss Elizabeth Shadowen on the 3 page of lic. It reads as follows: Caldwell County on this day I solemize this marriage between Hugh Sparkman & Miss Elizabeth Shadowen by H. Cassidy, On the License it states their names as Hugh Sparkman & Mip Elizabeth Shadowen. I think if you will check the census records Pulaski Co.Ky ., and Caldwell Co., Ky, and Crittenden Co., Ky on Elizabeths with her family Father Henry Shadowen & mother Nancy (Purvis) Roberts you may be able to find the truth. I believe she was Miss Elizabeth Shadowen when she married Hugh Mitchell Sparkman 2 March 1848 Caldwell Co. Ky. Anita
