James Madison "Jim" COURT/Julia Ann SPARKS

Family trees are always built on the work of others. I particularly want to thank: my grandmother, Nora Sparks, who compiled the Sneed and Sparks lines;

my father, Ray Sparks, who spent 2 years entering my grandmother’s information into the computer;

Elayne Pair Gibbons, who provided most of the Jones family line; and

Bob Leahy, who has worked with family members to update the Jones and Fincannon families.
