Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/828 Surname: SPARKMAN, BOYD ------------------------- I am researching Mary "Polly" SPARKMAN B. abt 1800 N.C. D. 4 Jul 1846 Trigg Co, Ky. married Ebenezer BOYD b. 18 Dec 1797 N.C d. Apr 1874 Trigg Co, Ky. 4 Oct 1819 Christian Co, Ky. In the early records of Caldwell Co, Ky. a William R. SPARKMAN was mentioned. I feel like Mary" Polly" SPARKMAN and William R. SPARKMAN were related. With William having a middle initial R., it makes me think he was connected to the SPARKMAN family of Chowan Co, N.C. Any thooughts appreciated.
