Hello,
I know this is MANY years since this query... however,
Danforth/Danford Sparks moved to Michiganl at least there is a Danforth Sparks of the same age you indicated, born abt. 1826 in NY, listed in the 1880 Census.
I believe he is a brother to Stephen Sparks from Cortland NY.A whole group of men came from there Zelotus Frost, Ephraim Abbott etc moved there in the very early 1840's.They had taken advantage of the new lands opening and settled in the Ionia Co. area of Michigan.
You might be able to find your guy there.I believe he had a daughter Lydia, named after his wife..but would have to search my paper records which I cannot access right now.
All the best of luck,
Jan Hart
