SPARKS FAMILIES IN KENT, TALBOT AND QUEEN ANNE COUNTIES, MARYLAND
In the December 1970 issue of the Quarterly, we published a short article listing a number of early immigrants to Maryland whose name was Sparks (or Sparkes, or Spark). There can be little doubt that the Sparkses of early Maryland were ancestors of a large proportion of persons named Sparks living across America today. From this area, Sparks descendants moved southwestward down the Great Valley to Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia; thence over the mountains to Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama; and then on across the Mississippi to Texas, Missouri and the far west. Other descendants moved northwestward to Pennsylvania; thence down the Ohio to the Northwest Territory, settling in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illnois before joining their southern cousins west of the Mississippi.
Because of the key position that Maryland holds in the genealogy of the Sparks family, we have decided to publish the following data even though the story is not complete. Many persons have contributed to the collection including our professional genealogist, William Perry Johnson, our president, Paul S. Sparks, and several professional genealogists. While many gaps remain to be filled in, the account which follows is based entirely on documentary evidence.
The history of the Colony of Maryland begins with the first Lord Baltimore (George Calvert), convert to the Roman Catholic faith, who prevailed upon King James I to grant him a colony along the Atlantic coast which would serve as an asylum for Englishmen seeking religious freedom. Although the first Lord Baltimore died before his dream could be realized, the King granted the promised charter to his son, Cecilius Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore, on June 20, 1632. Leonard Calvert, brother to Cecilius, became the Colony's first governor. Although the 2nd Lord Baltimore never visited his colony, he supervised its development until his death in 1675 and has often been referred to as the First Lord Proprietor. [8]
