SPARKS FAMILIES IN MISSISSIPPI -- 1850 CENSUS
Although French and Spanish adventurers in the sixteenth century visited the area that eventually became the State of Mississippi, the first real settlement was made in 1699 by the French at Old Biloxi. In 1716, a colony was also established by the French at Natches. In 1763, the French ceded the province to Great Britain and during the period leading up to the Revolution a good many English families settled in the Natches area. The Natchez District remained loyal to Great Britain during the Revolution - - In fact, it became a haven for Loyalists all the way to the Atlantic. Following the Revolution, Spain laid claim to the Natchez District and it was not until 1798 that Spanish rule was overthrown. On April 7, 1798, Congress created the Mississippi Territory, with Natchez as the territorial capital.
Following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the opening of the Mississippi River, thousands of settlers came from the east and the north to take up land. On December 10, 1817, the State of Mississippi was created, with the eastern half of what had been Mississippi Territory cut off to form Alabama Territory. In 1820, the population of the state was 75,448. Jackson became the state capital in 1822.
The last of the Indian lands in Mississippi were opened for settlement in 1837, bringing another great migration.
Today the population of Mississippi is overwhelmingly native born. The greatest number of original settlers were Scotch-Irish from the Atlantic seaboard states Cotton became Mississippi's leading crop, especially in the Delta, which meant that a great slave population developed. From 1840 until recently, the black population outnumbered the white.
When the 1850 census was taken, 139 individuals named Sparks were listed. Not a single adult male among these people named Sparks, however, was a native of Mississippi. Most of the Sparks families had migrated from other southern states, such as North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia.
The identification of these Sparks families living in Mississippi in 1850 has been made possible through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Norman B. Gillis of 2519 Lakeshore Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana. The Gillises have made an index of all surnames appearing on the 1850 census of Mississippi, and for a modest charge Mr. Gillis copied the Sparks data for us from this index. We sent Mr. Gillis' report to Carrie Grant Heppen to check against microfilm of the original records in Washington and she supplied additional details. Mrs. Heppen found Mr. Gillis' research to be remarkably accurate and we would recommend that anyone searching for a Mississippi ancestor of the 1850 period would do well to engage Mr. Gillis' services.
In the following list, the page number refers to the page of the bound volume (handwritten) in the National Archives containing the particular county named. (In some instances, two different series of paging have been given In these volumes.) The two numbers below the page number are those given by the census taker in 1850 as he went from house to house. The first is the number he assigned to the house, while the second is the number he assigned to the family. These numbers are often the same, but when two families were found to be living in the same house, the sequence in numbering would thereafter be different. These numbers are useful to the genealogist because through them one can often judge how near one family lived to another. For example, in Ponola County, Matthew Sparks was given the house and families numbers 586-586, while Clary Sparks was given the numbers 587-587. From these numbers, we can be quite certain that the two families lived side-by-side and they were probably closely related. On the other hand, Moses S. Sparks in the same district was given the numbers 251-251, which probably means he was living some distance from Matthew and Clary.
Opposite each person's name is given his age, whether male or female, the state in which he was born, his occupation, and the value of his real estate. It should be remembered that the census taker simply copied the information given him by the person whom he interviewed. In some instances, the age merely represented an estimate, and even the place of birth might represent hearsay.
It should be kept in mind that each family group represented a household and that besides the parents and children, a household might have included relatives and hired-hands. In Attala County, for example, Allen Sparks (fourteen years of age) was living with the family of Nelson L. Taylor. He may have been a relative or a hired-hand. Nearby lived David and Rody Sparks; perhaps Allen was their son.
All members of each household containing a Sparks are listed here because these names may at times aid in establishing relationships.
The date on which the census taker made his enumeration is also given because this has a bearing upon the ages given. Furthermore, a child born in 1850 after the census taker had visited a household would not, of course, be included.
