Sex: M
Birth: Nov 1831 in South Carolina
Death: 5 Feb 1901 in Wyeth Mountain, Marshall Co., Alabama
Burial: Rehobeth Missionary Baptist Cemetery, East Lake, Guntersville, Marshall Co. , Alabama

Note: Lived in Marshall County when daughter Nannie got married in 1881.
Note:
(Research):James Thomas [“Tom”] Sparks, son of Zerah Sparks, was bonn in November
1831 in South Carolina and was Zerah's youngest child by his first marriage. It appears likely that Tom's mother died when he was bonn. He was a young man when he, along with his brother, Marion, went to Marshall County, Alabama, to homestead land sometime between 1844 and 1850. When the 1850 census was taken of Butts County, Georgia, he was living in the household of his father.
In 1853, Tom Spanks, along with his father and two brothers, Marion and John T., moved to Little Wills Valley in DeKalb County, Alabama, and it was there that he was married to Lucinda [“Lucie”] Marcella Brock on September 15, 1853, by S. A. Taylor, M.G. The marriage license was dated September
12th. Lucie had been born about 1834 in Alabama and was a daughter of Harris and Nancy Brock. When the 1860 census was taken, Torn and Lucie were listed in DeKalb County, but they moved to Marshall County soon afterwards.
In March 1862, Tom Sparks enlisted in Company C, 48th Regiment Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army, as a lieutenant. He was wounded in the Battle of Cedar Run (also called the Battle of Cedar Mountain) on August 9, 1862, and was hospitalized at Farmville, Virginia. He was returned to duty on January 24, 1863, and on the organizational list of General William Taliaferro's Brigade, he was noted as wounded “from the time that General Lee took command at Gordonville, Virginia, until the army left the Valley.” He was discharged with the rank of captain on May 18, 1865. He still had a musket ball in his leg when he died.
(The 48th Regiment Alabama Infantry suffered heavy casualties during the Civil War. Of the 1,006 men who formed the unit at the outset of the war, fewer than 100 were left to surrender at Appomattox in 1865. The unit fought in a dozen major battles. At Russells Mill, Virginia, it went into battle with 315 men and came out with only 54 who were not casualties. Four of the sons of Zerah Sparks served in Company C of this regiment.)
After he returned from the wan, Tom and Lucie spent the remainder of their lives in or near Guntersville. Tom was elected town marshal of Guntersville in 1874 and was sworn into that office on January 14, 1875, by the mayor,
J. P. Beard. By 1880, he and Lucie were living on Wyeth Mountain, a point of Sand Mountain overlooking Guntersville on the Tennessee River. It was there that Tom died on February 5, 1901. Lucie died just a week later, on February 12th. They were buried in the Rehobeth Cemetery located two miles east of Guntersville. They were the parents of at least nine children.
