SPARKS FAMILIES IN KENTUCKY - - 1850 CENSUS
by Paul E. Sparks
(Editors Note: Dr. Paul E. Sparks, President of The Sparks Family Association, has made a thorough search of the entire 1850 census of the state of Kentucky and has copied the data given for each person named Sparks. This has been a tremendous undertaking, for in 1850 Kentucky was the eighth largest state in the Union, with a total population of 982,405. Of these persons, 761,413 were white, 10,011 were free blacks, and 210,981 were slaves.
At the time the 1850 census was taken, Kentucky was divided into one hundred counties. The map of Kentucky which accompanies this article was drawn in 1847 and shows the county boundaries as they existed at that time. by 1850 only one change had been made--in 1848 Taylor County was cut off from Greene County. Dr. Sparks has searched the 1850 census of each of these one hundred counties and has found that Sparks families were living in the following thirty-six: Adair, Boone, Bourbon, Breathitt, Caldwell, Calloway, Carter, Daviess, Estiil, Fayette, Gallatin, Greenup, Hardin, Harlan, Harrison, Henderson, Henry, Hopkins, Jefferson, Jessamine, Johnson, Knox, Laureb, Lawrence, Lewis, Livingston, McCracken, Mason, Morgan, Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton, Pike, Spencer, and Trimble. Since 1850, twenty new counties have been formed in Kentucky by dividing some of the older counties.
As has been stated before in the Quarterly, the 1850 census is of particular interest to the genealogist for it was the first Federal census which listed every member of every household (except slave) by name. Besides his name, the census taker listed also each person s age, birthplace, and sex. For those who were bread-winners, the census taker also noted the occupation and the value of property. (The numbers given beneath the page numbers in the following list stand for household and family and were simply assigned by the census taker as he progressed from one house to the next. They are useful in indicating who lived next door to or near a given family.
Because over twenty pages will be required to list all the Sparks families found by Dr. Sparks in the 1850 census of Kentucky, only the first installment can be given in this issue of the Quarterly the list will be continued in the June issue.)
