researching any SPARHAWK (or SPARROWK) in Cape Girardeau Co. (or
anywhere). Dr. William Jenness SPARHAWK Sr. and Mary Emily
Bushey SPARHAWK lived in Cape Girardeau. He was a surgeon until
his death in the 1940s. Dr. SPARHAWK'S second wife was named
Elsie. William J. SPARHAWK Sr. had a brother, Claude B. SPARHAWK
Sr., who was married to Carrie BUSHEY. There was also a sister,
Sarah Sparhawk BUSHMAN, mar. to Joseph BUSHMAN - Don BUSHMAN and
Joseph BUSHMAN Jr. Sarah BUSHMAN may have been active in the Dar
and Eastern Star in Cape Girardeau. William and Claude SPARHAWK
descend from Noah Sparhawk of Ohio Nathan SPARHAWK George
Washington Sparhawk. George W. SPARHAWK was one of the first
licensed Steamboat Captains on the Missouri and/or Mississippi
River, lived in St. Louis, and founded a bank in St. Louis.
SPARHAWK Landing (later became Thebes, IL) was named after
George W. Sparhawk. There is supposedly an oil painting of
George W. SPARHAWK in the Lindberg Museum (?) in St. Louis.

in Essex and owned a shop. I would like to find out more
information on him. 2nd Important* My Great Great Grandfather,
William Franklin GOEDERT, I have nothing but a discharge paper
from Minnesota in 1866. I know nothing else on him. I am sure
that he came to Missouri since that is where most of my family
is from, But I would also like to find out more about him. I am
limited in travel, I just took a vacation, so I have no time to
travel. I am limited in finances, I just bought a house, so I
cannot spend hundreds of dollars having another organization
research for me. Besides I would like to do this myself. I know
it is going to be hard work, but I believe it will be worth it.
So, where do I go from here?? What do I do next?? Is there any
way you have sources of info that could be of help?? Any
suggestions or help you could give me would be greatly
appreciated! Thanks. Jerry Lee Goedert Jr 3500 11 Mile Rd
