William Sparks Jr.

William Sparks Jr. was born on about 1674 in Queen Anne's, Maryland Colony. He married Margaret (Sample) Sparks. He was a farmer. He died in about 1735 in Queen Anne's, Maryland Colony.

William, Jr. may have married a second time to Ann (or Margaret went by her middle name) as a deed in 1730 proves that Wm Jr's wife's name was Ann.

Note: Margaret was at one time thought to be Margaret Hamilton, daughter of Josiah Hamilton, but it was found to be incorrect (“Josiah” being confused with her mother’s name of “Josine”, per (www.sparksfamilyassn.org), Dec 2000 paper.) It can be found in various genealogies as still incorrectly Hamilton. Note: Rachel Mary Sample married Joseph Sparks (Sr., her husband William's brother.) They were probably sisters (or half-sisters) who married brothers. Also note: Margaret's son (William Sample Sparks) married a Rachel Hamilton...these ladies can all be confused if not careful. See Margaret (Sample) Sparks profile [Sample-317].
