Thanks for posting this info. I had little about the other children of Mitchell and Holly Sparks. Holly Boatman and Mitchell Sparks were my 3rd great grandparents. Their daughter Nancy and husband Cargill Bobo was my 2nd great grandparents. Nancy and Cargill Bobo's daughter Mary E. was the 2nd wife of Berry Mitchell Lawson and they were my great grandparents. I have a transcript of Mitchell Sparks' will on my web page. http://www.geocities.com/sc_gen_fan/will/sparksm.html#top There is also a transcript of a nonrecorded will of Holly Sparks (which was found by Claude Sparks) http://www.geocities.com/sc_gen_fan/will/sparksh.html#top Note attached to Holly Sparks file: Judge of Probate Union, SC 30-April-1953. Mr. Claude Sparks, found the paper designated as the Will of Holly Sparks, in some old detached papers upstairs storage room. There is no record of this will in any of the indices in this office, and it is very probable that same was never actually formerly admitted to Probate, but if so the(sic) does not appear to be any record of same. This will is place in a package and on the index. The will is dated 7-August-1863.
