My father is James Belwood Sparrow, his father was Olus Sparrow, his uncle is John Sparrow all from Spencer County Kentucky. My father always said our branch was originally from Anderson County. I'd like to pick up the search there and trace back to what I suspect is the 13 original colonies, probabley Jamestown Virginia. I would appreciate any help at all.
