Rebecca Strange you mention Sparks I have just returned from Limestone Co. doing research for several days & you would not believe that several of the people I talked with mentioned the Sparks name. I have not done any research on that name & did not question them about it but finally did tell one that I must do some research on this line since several had mentioned this name in connection with Box Church area families. I will try to question these people more on the Sparks names if you would like. Pat Oates in TX.
