!The source document I am using for the Sparger's and allied families was
assembled by the efforts of William Murlin Creasy. Even much of the
information I have concerning the John Marion Marshall family came from
Creasy's manuscript. It is filed in the North Carolina State Library in
Raleigh, North Carolina. Even though his information only goes through 1936 it
has been the most valuable single source I have. [David William Marshall -
