There is a Virginia A. Sparks who married a Edwin F. Gaar in Saline Co. MO Dec. 1, 1868. However the 1870 Saline Co. MO Census shows a E.F. Gaar with wife Almonia age 18 (possibly the "A" in Virginia A.) with a child Frank that is 7 months old. And the 1880 Wilson Co. Kansas census shows Edwin F. with Virginia so I don't believe that this is OUR Virginia A. Sparks.
The 1860 Saline Co. MO census shows that Virginia Sparks age 7 is living with her parents James M. and Mrs. M.R. Sparks. I believe that this is the same as child as the one in the 1870 census.

Tahoka, Texas Feb. 7, 1965

...."Regarding Papa's family and the memo book that Robert reproduced for us:
All of you remember Cousin Anne (pronounced Annie) Yes, she was Alice Smith's daughter. But at the time, I don't recall if Cousin Anne had any brothers or sisters.
Most of you remember Uncle Jim Smith. He picked cotton for us in 1925. He had 8 sons and 1 daughter as I remember. He lived the last part of his life around Ft. Worth. Roy and Papa attended his funeral, I think, but I don't recall the exact year.....

They had the following children:

  M i Claude MASON was born 6 Feb 1891 and died 17 Jul 1934.

Heck MCMILLIN married Lillie SMITH.

Never married to Lillie Smith

Lillie SMITH [Parents] was born 25 Sep 1865. She died 5 Mar 1884 in Mclennan County, Texas and was buried in Probably OLD Valley Mills Cemetery. Lillie married Heck MCMILLIN.

May 1883 - "Either on Childers of Coon Creek, as many rural families did in those days, they would save up their dirty clothes for several days or a week and then go to the creek and wash them on the bank.Virginia had sent Lillie (then 17 1/2 years and beautiful in body but retarded in mind), Daisy and I don't know who else (just kids) to the creek to wash and when they returned to the house Virginia saw that something was wrong with Lillie.
After questioning the younger girls said, "Heck did it, Heck McMillin: he got Lillie.
I am told that W.T. Mason was so upset that most folks thought he would kill Heck, but I understand he ran him out of the country.
Uncle Lester's entire story was told to me by Lee Mason in the presence of T.J. Mason in 1963 and sanctioned by my parents."

Athur Evans notes on Sparks/Mason Family Outline

W.T. and Virginia Mason took in Lester as if he was their own child and raised them after Lillie Smith, daughter of Virginia and her first husband died in childbirth.

They had the following children:

  M i Lester Roy MASON was born 17 Feb 1884 and died 18 Oct 1961.

Claude MASON was born 6 Feb 1891 in McLennan County, Texas. He died 17 Jul 1934 in Post, Garza Co. TX and was buried in Terrace Cemetery, TX. Claude married Living on 1921 in Garza Co. TX.

Claude Mason was a result of James Lawrence Smith and his half sister Daisy Mason getting carried away as teenagers. They were never married and William and Virginia Mason took Claude into their home as their own child. Daisy went on to marry Andrew Evans. Claude went on to Garza Co. and worked and lived near Lester Mason until his death in 1934. His wife and children then went to live with Lester Mason and his family.

I can follow Lester through the 1930 census but I am not sure if this is the Lester Mason that we are looking for. I can't find him at age 16 in the 1900 census. This is probably NOT the Lester we are looking for.
