I have Nancy Sparks' parents listed as Joshua Sparks and Rachel McCray. I obtained
this information from an undocumented tree on the web. I have no actual proof that these
are her parents, but in the 1880 census she lists her father as being from South Carolina
and her mother from Kentucky and this matches the info I already had. Also, Nancy's
obituary lists her as being related to a McCrea, so that would possibly validate her
mother as being a McCray. George and Nancy were married in Rush County, IN on 18 February
1838. George came to Wells County after stints in Rush and Allen Counties from Wilkes
County, North Carolina with most of the other Reddings I have run across. Many of these
Reddings settled in Wells, Rush, and Franklin Counties.
