      PENNINGTON-SPARKS

      Does anyone have info on Rhoda Pennington Sparks, ( 1789-1871) wife of William Sparks~1783-1869? I would like to find her parents and siblings. Wm & Rhoda lived for a time in White Co., Tn..I have the names of the 12 children belonging to Wm & Rhoda. I hit a brick wallon finding anything about Rhoda. There is a Joshua Pennington b 1790who married Nancy Sparks. I am wondering if Rhoda & Joshua could be siblings. Need to prove or disprove.

      Thanks in advance for any help.

    • This appears to be Levi & his family. Would make it a lot easier if the census takers were so lazy and not cited initials only...DAH
