His fath er was born about 1727 and had been a resident of Queen Anne's Co., MD, during his youth. It may have been in Queen Anne's County that Solomon married Sarah --- in the late 174Os. By 1749, Solomon was in Frederick County, when his father, Joseph Sparks(344) died. "In August 175O, the justices of Frederick Co. ... approved a memorandum which required Mary Sparks (585) widow of Joseph Sparks(344), t o make a distribution of the estate of her late husband among his heirs. The children of Joseph and Mary Sparks were identified in this memorandum as Solomon Sparks (356), Joseph, Charles, Jonas,Jona than, William, George, Merum Sparks, Mary, Ann, Rebecca and Sarah. Of the seven sons of Joseph and Mary, three eventually migrated to North Carolina: Solomon, Jonas, and Jonathan. "In March 175O, Solo mon ... bought a tract of land in Frederick Co., MD, called "Cold Friday." (It was the custom in Maryland for the first owner of a tract of land to give it a name usually retained by future owners.) S olomon sold "Cold Friday" in 1753 and moved to Rowan Co., NC. He settled first, as did his brothers, in an area called "The Forks of the Yadkin" located less than 10 miles from Salisbury. The area is now part of Davie Co. "Solomon Sparks moved his family from the Forks in 1772, settling in the part of Surry County that was cut off to form Wilkes in 1778. This section of Wilkes eventually became pa rt of Yadkin Co. in 185O. Solomon died there sometime before 18OO. We believe that his widow, Sarah, lived a number of years longer and may have accompanied her son Abel when he moved to Georgia about 18O3. "In the article on John Sparks (SQ 92, 1371) we noted a record found in the Wilkes Co. ... Court Minutes of August 4, 18O1, by which John Sparks, Reuben Sparks, Solomon Sparks, Jr., Mary Jacks, Hannah Denny, Susannah Johnson, and Joseph Sparks gave a power of attorney to Abel Sparks dated July 31, 18O1. We are quite convinced that these were the children of Solomon and Sarah Sparks; it is t his court record that constitutes one of our bases for stating that Joseph Sparks ... was a son of Solomon and Sarah. "Joseph Sparks was probably born in Frederick Co. ... before his parents moved to "The Forks of the Yadkin" and was probably carried as a baby to their new home. The first official record we have of him was made in 1774 when he and his brother John were listed as "taxable polls " i n Surry Co., NC, along with their father, Solomon. (The family moved from Rowan to Surry Co. in 1772, according to a statement made by John Sparks in his pension application.) A white male was subject to paying a poll tax when he reached 21, and was required to continue paying until 6O. In 18O1, however, the terminal age was lowered to 5O and in 1817 to 45. * Reference: [https://www.wikitree.com/w iki/Sparks-959 WikiTree Genealogy] - [http://www.geni.com/projects/SmartCopy/18783 SmartCopy]: ''May 15 2020, 1:12:21 UTC''
