Daughters of Republic of Texas, Dorothy Burns Patterson, pg 260
MATTHEW AND SARAH SPARKS had 13 children. My ancestor was their son named william sparks born on April 3, 1761, Rowan Co, NC. He married Mary Polly Fielder around 1790. I have land deeds showing that he lived in Mississippi and Georgia, but in March, 1836, he moved to Nacogdoches County, TX, at the age of 75 years and was a resident of Sparks Settlement located about five miles north of Nacogdoches. Certificate 49, dated June 7, 1838, entitled him to 1,280 acres of land. William Sparks is on the Tax Lists of 1837, 1839, 1840, and 1845. Four of his children were living at Sparks Settlement. At age 85, William Sparks applied for a pension because of his service in the American Revolution. His declaration is most interesting to read. His application was rejected, apparently for lack of sufficient proof of his service. As one reads this interesting account, one is impressed with its authenticity and with the remarkable memory of this old man as he recalls events which occurred nearly 70 years earlier. He died in 1848 in Nacogdoches County. William Sparks is probably buried near the Old North Church in the Sparks Settlement in one of the four unmarked graves found there. William Sparks was my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. [Can't read the name of the daughter]
