Descendants of James Sparks of England

SPARKS

Generation #3

Mary (2James, 1James) Sparks (Conjecture)

Mary Sparks was born c. 1747 in Goochland Co VA. And, Mary's surname is determined by circumstantial evidence. The Lewis Family Naming Pattern serves as a guide:

In this Lewis Family, the firstborn son is named after the paternal grandfather. The second-born son is named after the mother's family. In Generation 7, John Anderson Lewis' paternal grandfather should have been and was John Lewis, and Willis Lewis's maternal grandmother should have been and was a Willis. If Walden was the second born in Generation 6, Walden should be a name in his mother's family. In about 1770, Sarah Sparks married Alexander Walden. Was Walden named for his uncle, Alexander? Beginning with Walden Lewis b. c. 1775, the first name Walden is continued in our Lewis family until this day.

Listed below are other connections between the Walden and Lewis families:
