"According to a record of the family of John and Mary (or Mollie) Sparks, prepared by their great-grandson, Christopher C. Sparks (1846-1923), they were the parents of the following children: (1)William, (2) Robert , (3) Samuel, (4) Enoch, (5) Rebecca, and (6) Elizabeth. The fact that John was called Sr. on his tombstone may indicate he had a son named John, but this may have been to distinguish him from his grandson, John Sparks, who was born in 1811 and died in 1847."
