Thanks Marlitta.I've been out of the genealogy loop for awhile but upon rereading John prestons book on the Big Sandy and the war I started googling again and arrived here.In case you've forgtooen I'm a gr gr grandson of Hugh Sparks.You have given me some new info here on some of the people involved.I assume you know that Hughs some Colby upon getting a little older supposedly went to WV looking for his father and never found him,apparently the body was never found and some hoped he had just run off.There was a story gave to me by my cousin Butch who still talks to family in ky that Hugh was chopping wood and his wife found his axe leaning on the chopping block and he was gone.One mystery still seems to be unsolved.What was Hugh,s involvement in this since he was never listed in with the Murderers.Why did Ross want him dead?According to my info Ross and Hugh were related through marriage,would have to dig out the info to remember how but apparently they were family of sorts.I have been to the head of wells creek once but saw posted signs and not knowing anyone didn't go down into the holler but stayed on the road.Do you know if the unmarked graves were ever located?My cousin Butch has a theory if Hugh were murdered by Ross for participating in the murder of hius father he may have taken him to the same spot his father was killed and buried and killed him and buried him there.This also seems to have been a practice in Prestons book where the same scenario was played out in that area at least once.Thanks for posting this.Al.
