• Notes

  Line 3794 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: BIRT DATE ca 1839 Line 3796 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: BIRT SOUR Blount Co., TN, Censuses of 1840, 1850, & 1860 The typed copy of Henry McClanahan's letter gives Lizzie's husband's name as Sparta. This is obviously a problem of interpretation of the handwriting by someone not familiar with the individuals being written about. The fact that Henry knew who Lizzie's children were indicates the strong probability that the Sparks family was in the North Texas area too.
