Joel Niblach and Ann Sparkman

The grooms name is Joel Keightly Niblack. He is the brother of William Tyson Niblack. Keightly, Niblack, Sparkman, and Tyson are all surnames identifiable with the early days of Florida. Descendants of those Surnames can be found all over Florida today. Many are pioneers of the counties where they settled.

The bride, Ann Sparkman is actually Ann A. E. Sparkman. They were the parents of Mary Ann (Polly), Penelope and Joel Keightly Niblack Jr. Ann A. E. was the daughter of Stephen Lewis Sparkman and Elsa Ann Keightly.

Joel was born June 29, 1811 in South Carolina and died August 28, 1841 at Fort White in Columbia County, Florida. Ann A. E. Sparkman Niblack was born February 11, 1809 in St. Mary's Camden County, Georgia and died October 19, 1893 at Ft. White in Columbia County, Florida. I do not know where they are buried, but they have children and grandchildren buried in both the Ft. White and Tusteneggee Cemeteries.
