Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group of 4 individuals on 23andme consisting of , Douglas Jay Grimm, Vicky Elaine Grimm, C. Bland-Ruff, Daughter of Robert Bland on 23andme, L. Carlson, daughter of Manlia Klinck on FTDNA, who share a 25.29 cM segment on chromosome 11. There is multiple most recent common ancestors shared by all four individuals due to marriages of first cousins of all three family lines. These include Johannes John Rima, Sr. and his wife Maria Catherina Wendel as well as John Jacob Lentz and his wife. The DNA proof will only be listed to the lower generation where first cousins married in these families as it cannot be proven yet if the DNA came from Lentz or Rima family before them.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Douglas or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Douglas Grimm:
Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 700 markers, haplogroup I-PH572, FTDNA kit #B672282
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Douglas:

I noticed on George Washington Sparrows (1824-1893) page you mentioned he married Nancy Sparrow in Boyle Kentucky 1845. I think they are my grandmas great grandparents, I was hoping you had more information. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sparrow-1353

PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on ancestor profiles on bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try!
Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified! Based on your pre-1700 ancestors, it looks like your going to be working on profiles that fall under the United States History Project. You might also be interested in the Irish Roots project.
Project participation is strongly encouraged, so check out the projects and add the US_History and Irish_Roots tags to your profile. That way you'll see all of their discussions in your G2G Feed and any changes to related pages.

I am trying to identify the correct age of Nancy Sparrow.
Find a grave lists her as being 23 in 1850 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117362742/dorcas-jane-williams
A census lists her as being 40 (or 46) in 1880 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MN4Y-34F
Other than the age difference they appear to be the same person.
