SPARKS QUARTERLY, pg 3471: Bailey Milton Sparks, son of Willoughby and Polly Sparks, was born in Tennessee in January 1847. He was probaby named for his great-uncle, Bailey Sparks, son of Matthew and Sarah (Thompson) Sparks. He served in Company B, Waller's Regiment, Green's Brigade of Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army during the Civil War and received a pension in later years from the state of Texas for his service. When the 1880 census was taken of Eastland County, Texas, he was living in the household of his brother, Tillman Sparks. (The abstract of his military records is below.) Bailey Sparks married Julia Antley, probably about 1882, and they had three children before her death on April 11, 1887, shortly after their third child was born. Bailey married (2nd) Amanda ---, probably about 1895. She apparently had a large family by a previous marriage. Bailey died on January 27, 1931, in Wise County, Texas.
MILITARY:
SQ pg 1281: Bailey Sparks enlisted in Capt. Thos. P. Hightower's Company, Waller's Battalion, Texas Cavalry, on April 14, 1862, at Marlin, Falls County, Texas, by Thomas P. Hightower. His age was given as 17. He was mustered into the service on April 23, 1862, at Hempstead by E. Waller, Jr. A note on one of the records indicates that he was a substitute for a man named Cornelison. The last record of his being paid was dated September 1, 1863. HIs name appeared on the muster roll for Company B of this battalion for January and February 1864 with the note "Absent, In Arrest." Following is a summary of the history of this unit: Waller's Regiment Texas Cavalry was first organized as the 13th, or Waller's Battalion Texas Cavalry with five companies, A to E. Company F was enlisted in Louisiana August 27, 1862. An unidentified company, Captain Menard's, Captain Goode's and Captain Dunn's Companies Texas Cavalry were added from time to time to complete the regiment.
Applied for pension in Parker Co, Texas and at Falls County. Pension file #13032-Parker.
