I an researching the SPARROWs originally thought to be from Scottish/Irish descent. I'm told they originally came from the Isles of Guernsey and Jersey and possibly entered the U.S. through the port of Charleston. I can confirm nor deny none of this, so far. I have just gotten into this genealogy search business, so I need all the help I can get from anyone who can give me more information. Though most of my Sparrow relations still live in the Gastonia, N.C. general area, my immediate family came to central Florida at least three generation ago. So far, I can only go back as far as Hirum W. Sparrow, who was born 4 May 1811 in an unknown place, but who is buried at Long Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetary located near Bessemer City, N.C. I would more than welcome any and all information that anyone can provide to help me further delve into my ancestry.
