Biography
Eleanor's maiden name appears as "Spark" or "Sport" on her son, Charles' death certificate. It also indicates she was born in Locke, Cayuga, New York. Possibly Samuel Sparks or Amos Sparks, counted on the census in Locke, in 1820. Both of their households had a young girl who could have been Eleanor in them.
According to a descendant on Ancestry.com, Eleanor's parents were Native Americans of the Seneca Iroquois Indian.
She died abt. 1861.
