Since I did not personally investigate I do not have the proof you so willfully requested. I do know extensive time, materials and money was spent researching this and is available on Ancestry.com by personal invitation. I assume my Aunt did not want to make this information public since it was her time and money invested. Since you choose not to believe the information I have provided-so be it. I know what my ancestry is and that is all I wanted to know. Just thought others might be interested to learn also. I am a decendent of John Sparkman b. 1561 in England. For those who choose-part of the family settled in Bertie NC later migrating to AL then TN. My greatgrand father was Andrew Jackson Sparkman, m. Mary Susan Southall in 1857. Both died in Hardeman Co. TN. Now you spend your money and find the same info.
