I have information on Andrew Sparlin who married one of my ancestors, Elizabeth Spurgeon. Am away from my records for a couple of weeks (vacation!!) but will get information I have to you at a later date. In the meantime, I will keep reading the news digest to see what other people know.

Thank you for the reply. I have a Holmes Co. newspaper article from 1987 that is about the Buzzard family, but mentions Andrew Sparlin. I can send it to you if you don't have it. I'm trying to find out if the Ann who married Benjamin Sparlin was the second husband of my GG-grandmother, Ann R. Southward Sparlin Gallaher. Many of the facts about the two women are the same. However, I need to find something that will connect them. The information we have always had on Ann's first and second marriages came from her obit and may not be accurate. It said her first husband was Mr. Whitaker and they were only married 3 months before he died. The Benjamin who may be the brother of Andrew married Ann Twitty in 1838 in Barry Co., MO. So there is a difference in the name of the first husband. Then she married Wm. Sparlin. We have looked for a Wm. Sparlin who would fit Ann's family, but never found one. So it is a real possibility that we had the wrong first name for him. Thanks for any help!
