Census: 1920, , Limestone, Texas, USA; ED 100, pg 11B
death certificate: 14 Dec 1925; J I Sparks, Frio Co, Tex,

Notes:

See The SPARKS QUARTERLY, September, 1989, Whole No. 147, pg 3471:
"John Sparks, son of Willoughby and Polly Sparks, was born about 1848 in Tennessee. He served in Company D (Lt. Spruell's Company) 35th Regiment Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army during the Civil War, and after his death, his widow received a pension from the state of Texas for his service.
After returning from the military service, John Sparks married Rebecca A. ["Becky"] Brown on December 29, 1871, in Limestone County, Texas. She was born on November 25, 1855, in Bienvielle Parish, Louisiana. John died on December 13, 1925, in Limestone County, and Becky died on March 6, 1953. According to the 1880 census of Limestone County, they had four children; there may have been other children born to them later.
- m. 29 DEC 1871 in Limestone, TX"

There is a great deal of argument about John's birthdate since, if he was born in Texas prior to statehood, Willoughby's descendants are eligible for DRT or SRT. The census records report 1844-1853, in Texas or Tennessee and his headstone says 1847. His death certificate gives Oct 1844 in Limestone County. John's birth is, so far, the only indication of Willoughby's residence before 19 Feb 1846 when Texas became a state. I don't believe John was born that early. Bailey was born in 1847 and I belive john was born in 1849.
