Person:Sarah Sparks (52)

“Grandma Morrow was Sarah Sparks. She had 5 brothers in the Revolution[ary] War. She died at the home of her youngest son, Samuel Merrow, at Roachport, Boone Co., [Missouri] in August 1851, while nursing her grandson, Robert Morrow, 3rd, with the cholera. The Sparks family was a large one, 15 children. The father and 4 brothers took sides with the British while the other 5 sons supported the colonists. The Morrows objected to their son marrying one of the girls but he married the 4th daughter of Cul (or Cal) Sparks and moved to the wilds of Kentucky; settled 6 miles east of the now city of Paris, Ky. She was a noble woman and raised all of the 10 [sic] children up to be respected.” [1]
