Subject: [GACLARKE] Sparks Fort
Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 22:37:39 -0500

Hello List,
I am a new subscriber. Does anyone have any
knowledge of a Sparks Fort that was built about
1785 four miles outside the present day location
of Athens? My ancestor Matthew Sparks came
to this area with other settlers from Wilkes Co, NC
about 1784-85 and built the fort. Matthew was killed
by the Indians in November, 1793 while he was out
hunting.
Thanks,
Jan in Texas
