    1. [GACARROL-L] LASSITTER/LASSETTER and ties to SPARKS families
    2. Kim Austin
    3. The daughter of William H. LASSETTER and Parthenia L. BROWN, Delona Oregon LASSETTER (b: 17 Jul 1847, Carroll Co. GA, d: 16 May 1929, Carroll Co. GA) married Joseph M. SPARKS on 11 December 1868 in Carroll Co. GA. They had the following known children: Lara E., Willie C., Lilla, Eugenia, Ida, Bartow Rufus, Guy and an unnamed infant that died at birth. Martha E. SPARKS (b: 9 Nov 1857, d: 6 Mar 1892 in Carroll Co. GA), daughter of William H. SPARKS and Elizabeth HOUSEWORTH, married William LASSETTER(B: 9 Aug 1854, D: 15 Nov 1892 in Carroll Co. GA). I believe that this William LASSETTER is the son of James T. and Elizabeth LASSETTER, but I don't know that for certain. The 1900 Carroll Co. GA shows 3 of the young LASSETTER couple's children, Dora (b: Sep 1886), Bessie (b: Aug 1890) and John M. (b: 17 Feb 1892) living with their grandparents, W.H. and Elizabeth SPARKS. From the death info, it is clear that both the parents, Martha and William were deceased by the time of the 1900 census. I am trying to find out more about the children of the two couples listed above. Also I would like to find out for certain if William (b: 1854 ) is indeed the son of James T. and Elizabeth Lassetter. If anyone on this mail list is searching the LASSITTER/LASSETTER line in Carroll County, GA and can help me find out further info on this, I would really appreciate it. I am not a LASSETTER descendant but am rather a SPARKS descendant. Thus I do not need further info on the Lassetter ancestry but do need further knowledge of the children and their descendants of those Sparks-Lassetter couples mentioned previously. Plus can anyone clarify for me how the Lassetter/Lasssiter/Lasiter families of Carroll County spell the surname now? Thank you. Kim
