NANCY SPARKS: THE SPARKS QUARTERLY, March 1994, Whole No. 165, p. 4274 : " Nancy Sparks, daughter of James Sparks, was born about 1794, probably in North Carolina, although her birthplace was given as Virginia on the 1860 census of Johnson County, Kentucky. She married Joshua Pennington in 1815 in Lee County, Virginia. He was born about 1790 in Virginia. It seems quite probable that Joshua and Nancy followed her father to eastern Kentucky where they settled in that part of Floyd County which became a part of Johnson County in 1843. It was there that Nancy died on March 15, 1878. According to her death record, she was 87 years old.
