2. | Richard Sparrow was born on 1 Mar 1827 in Tavistock, Devon, England (son of William Sparrow and Dinah Sillick); died on 20 Oct 1924 in Duluth, MN. Notes:
In Marquette, Michigan in 1870, 1880, 1900, and 1910. In the 1900 census in some indexes, his last name is spelled Sparrowe, although to me in the original it looks as though the enumerator spelled it that way but then crossed out the e.
Also listed in Duluth, St. Louis, Minnesota in 1910 with his daughter, Jessie, and her husband, James Prior.
In Duluth, Minnesota in 1920 with his daughter, Florence, and her husband Robert O’Neill.
Richard married Hannah Tonkin Pike on 8 Jun 1851 in Tavistock, Devon Co., England. Hannah (daughter of Samuel Pike and Mary Tonkin) was born before 30 Oct 1830 in England; died on 19 Sep 1902 in Marquette, MI. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
