Sue,I didn't make it to the library today. I did go back on Ancestry and printed out some info from the pages White and Elizabeth, 4 pages. IF our Nelson was a s/o Joseph White and Elizabeth Hurt and Joseph was s/o John and Elizabeth Montague, then we can connect our White's back to England in 1530. I know we will not be able to prove it that far back. First we need to prove who Nelson's parents and grand parents were.s/Charles Barker

I forgot to add that Elizabeth, the way I understand it, was his second wife, the first being Katherine Cubine Barker. Alexander Eaton had two siblings that married Barker's. One being William Henry Eaton, who married Sara Rosa Barker. The other was Angeline Eliza (Liza) who married Robert Beverly Barker. But I cannot tie anything together. Thanks for your time. Deborah in Oklahoma . From: [email protected] Date: Sunday, July 21, 2002 05:27:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Elizabeth White, wife of Paschal White, Scott Co. Do you know of any possible connection between Alexander Eaton, his wife Lucinda (Leonard) Eaton, and either Elizabeth White, or Paschal Hamlin White, son of Nelson Paschal Hamlin White? According to census records, Alexander and Lucinda were living with His parents (John and Judith Ann (Bowman) Eaton, in 1860. Then in 1870, they were living with his brother, Benjamin and Rebecca (Wyatt) Eaton. Finally in 1880, Alexander and Lucinda were living with the Elizabeth White family. Since they had been living with kinfolk in the previous two census years, I thought maybe they'd moved to Lucinda's side of the blanket for a while. Alexander was my GG Grandfather's brother. Any insight appreciated. Deborah in Oklahoma . |

See THE SPARKS QUARTERLY, September 1997, Whole No. 179, pp 4850-4878:
ROBERT SPARKS (ca.1780-ca.1815) SON OF JOHN AND SARAH (SHORES) SPARKS ANDHIS DESCENDANTS OF LAWRENCE COUNTY, KENTUCKY by Paul E. Sparks.
[Editor's note: Between 1820 and 1830, five men named SPARKS andtheir families settled in Lawrence County, Kentucky. Two of these men,James Sparks (189) third great-grandfather of James J. Sparks andThomas Sparks, were brothers, being sons of William (199) and Ann Sparkscousins of Robert Sparks. Two other men, Levi Sparks andGeorge Sparks, were also brothers, being sons of John and Sarah (Shores)Sparks. The fifth man named Sparks to settle in Lawrence County was John Wesley Sparks (usually called Wes); he was a nephew of Levi and George Sparks, he being a son of their brother, Robert Sparks. Articles about four of these men have been published in the QUARTERLY as follows: ThomasSparks, December 1991, Whole No. 156 and March 1992, Whole No. 157; JamesSparks, March 1994, Whole No. 165; Levi Sparks, June 1996, Whole No. 174;and George Sparks, December 1996, Whole No. 176.
[The article that follows deals with the children of Robert Sparks,brother of Levi Sparks and George Sparks. Although Robert Sparks apparently did not come to Lawrence County, four of his children were among its early settlers. We are inclined to believe that these four were all of Robert's children. Our information has come to us from the records of the late Ira Paulus Ison, and we again express our indebt-edness to Mr. Ison for his help. He died in 1986.
[The Sparkses who came to Lawrence County settled there shortly after its formation in 1821. At that time, the county embraced a large territory,and, as its population grew, other counties were formed from portions ofit. Carter County was formed in 1838; Johnson County was formed in 1843;and Boyd County was formed in 1860. After the Civil War, Elliott Countywas formed in 1869, and Martin County was formed in 1870. In the articlethat follows, references to these six counties will not usually befollowed by "Kentucky," it being understood that we will refer only tothe counties with these names that are located in Kentucky.]
"Robert Sparks, son of John and Sarah (Shores) Sparks, was born in Wilkes County, North Carolina, about 1780. Only one official recordbearing his name has been found. This is in a survey made of a landgrant to John Sparks, Senior in 1804 in Wilkes County, North Carolina,located on the East Fork of Roaring River. In this, Robert Sparks wasnamed as a chain-bearer in this survey. The rest of the scantyinformation that we have about him has come to us from relatives inWilkes County, North Carolina, or in Lawrence County.
"Robert Sparks was married to Margaret Pigg about 1804, and they were the parents of four children. She may have been a daughter of William Pigg who paid taxes in 1814 on property near that of John Sparks, Sr. Inneighboring Surry County, North Carolina, a Nathan Pigg served asbondsman for the marrriage of Waitman Summers and Winney Durham on March8, 1811.
"We have found no record of the death of Robert Sparks nor that of hisspouse, Margaret (Pigg) Sparks. He was not enumerated on the 1810 or1820 censuses of North Carolina; he may have died prior to 1820. Hi s widow was apparently living with her son, Wesley Sparks, when the 1830 census was taken of Lawrence County, Kentucky; she was probably the female, aged 50-60 years, then living in his household.
"We believe that the children of Robert and Margaret (Pigg) Sparkswere: John Wesley Sparks, Nancy Sparks, William Sparks, and ReubenSparks."
