| Notes |
- I have a lot of doubts about this line even though three Sparks married Boatwrights.
Parker Co TX, Land
ABSALOM SPARKS A. SPARKS 1195
MARY SPARKS M. SPARKS 1231
"A great many years ago, two great-grandchildren of Willoughby and Polly (Harrell) Sparks, Frank Sparks and Segonia (Sparks) Pritchett, found Mary's (Polly's) grave in Hills Cemetery. It had a headstone marker then which read "Polly Sparks, 1813." When they revisited the cemetery the following year for the purpose of replacing the marker, someone had removed it.
"Hill Cemetery is in Parker County, TX. It is off of I-20 on Gilbert Pit Road. Go down the road past the gravel pit and the cattle guard. It is on the right back off the road." [George Boatright, http://boatwrightgenealogy.com/index.html] [This stone is still in the cemetery.]
I don't believe this information is correct for our Polly Sparks, it would make her only a child when these children were born and she was married previously. I don't believe she married at 10. Her stone may say 1813 but it would be obviously incorrect.
