  Notes	found at: http://www.angelfire.com/nc/wwwjmd/afile.html Jonas was in Rowan Co by 1760. He purchased 130.75 acres of land from his brother Solomon on 1/1/1763 for twenty pounds. The land was near Salisbury "on the south side of the Yadkin just opposite the point at which Muddy Creek flows into the kin." At some time he and his family went to KY "with Daniel Boone but because of trouble with the Indians" and other hardships they returned to Rowan Co. Maybe his first wife died in KY? He married second Mary Little Eakle, who had been married twice before, on 9/5/1786 in Rowan Co. On 5/3/1788 he bought 82.5 more acres from Solomon for 150 pounds. He died in Rowan Co. Jonas Sparks married a woman whose name we have not learned, and they went to Rowan County, North Carolina.
