Very likely your man!

Dear Linda,

The Alabama in the Civil War Message Board is affiliated with Ken Jones' Eclectic Projects website which includes Confederate and Union units histories. Ken is quite an aficionado of Law's Alabama Brigade, of which, the 47th Alabama Infantry was a part. Click on the link below and it will take you to a unit history of the 47th Alabama. The William Sparks you reference is a member of Company "K" of this regiment, aka "The Goldthwait Grays". This company was from Tallapoosa county, so this is probably your man.

Make sure you also click on the "Muster Roll" link:
47th Alabama Infantry


I hope this helps.
