(1673, England – 1728, MD) (Represented)  m. Dorothy (Marshall?) (c1670, MD – c1750, MD). Various dates of marriage are shown, but the most likely is either March 1695, Queen Anne’s Co., MD or b. 1706, Baltimore Co., MD.  Perhaps a total of eight children. This appears to be an immigrant line.  One should also be aware that the Surname variant of SPARKS has crept into the work of some family genealogist of this line.
