James Goodeve Sparrow was the third son of James Sparrow. He was a banker and landowner with interests in Suffolk and Essex and held Abbas Hall Manor until his death in 1838.

The source records his marriages and family connections but those relationships are not treated as evidence of the manor succession beyond the explicit vesting statement.
