The descendants of Joseph Parks are well documented on Ken Parks' East Tennessee Parks pages. The descendants of William (b 1777 PA) are also documented on Ken's page.

Ken's pages do not hypothesize about the antecedents of Joseph. However, there are other sources that present viewpoints of the father of Joseph. Here are the commonly referenced sources:

1. The Duggan document on Joseph Parks (the first part is WRONG!)

   This often cited page has a massive amount of data. While much of the later data may be accurate, I question the initial data on John (who married the French lady, etc. father of Mary, Joseph, William and James). I think the "French lady" is Bridgett Milhouse who married John Parks in Baltimore in 1744 (see below) and this is not the correct parentage. In short I think this data on the father and mother of Joseph and William is incorrect.

   At http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~duggan/4271-r.txt Duggan says:

   This is loosely based on Duggan above and I think it is ALSO INCORRECT (at least the first two lines)

3. Rev. Frazier's Letter c 1847
      (the BEST INFORMATION -- so far!)

   An article by J.C. Clemons appears in the "Blount Journal" Volume VII, No. 3, Fall 1991. Rev. Robert Frazier (1809-1872, son of Samuel Frazier who m Mary (Polly) Parks) recollections are presented in a transcribed a letter (written in perhaps 1847) found in a family bible. Also at another Tom Hartman genforum post: http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?frazier::parks::663.html (Note that in this post, Hartman inserts the name John as the father)

   "Last week I received a letter informing me of the death of my mother... My mother's original name was PARKS. Her grandfather was an immigrant from England but was an Irishman. He was, as I have been told, the founder of a small colony on the river Hudson under the patronage of the British Parliament and possessed large property. But his affairs from some cause became confused. This property was wasted. He had two sons and one daughter. A Mr. Winchester married his only daughter and was made his heir. My Grandfather emigrated to North Carolina and then was among the first settlers of the Holston Valley now in Tenn. My father moved from Greene to Blount County Tennessee, about the same time my grandfather Joseph Parks also settled on the Holston near Unitia in Blount County. He was killed by a man named Tinsley who lived in Knoxville. These are the circumstances: JOSEPH PARKS was an intimate friend of ROSS who then lived in the Cherokee nation near where Chattanooga, TN is. Tinsley was courting one of Ross's daughters and borrowed a horse from Parks for a few days. Soon after he got the horse, Parks was informed that Tinsley had settled his affairs in Knoxville and had probably left, not to return. Upon the strength of this supposition, Parks pursued him to Ross's. Old Ross was a man of ungovernable passion, and when he found that Tinsley was pursued for the horse he rode, he became enraged and drove him away. Shortly after this, Tinsley and Parks met at Morganton, a little town on the Tennessee River in Blount County, and had an angry altercation about the affair at Ross's. They left town by different roads, which intersected 1/2 mile from town. When they rode together, Tinsley struck Parks with a sword cane. It was a fatal blow, the bulk of the sword entered the eye and passed to the back of the head. Parks fell dead. Tinsley was tried in the Knoxville Court and, on some grounds best known to his lawyer, acquitted." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clemons' footnote:"There has been speculation that Winchester saved his father-in-law from confiscation by the Whigs on condition that he get the inheritance of his two brothers-in-law." [This Note below by Michael Parks 2006] "Ross" is probably Daniel Ross (1760-1830), father of the Chief of the Cherokees -- John Ross. Chief John was born in 1790. Daniel Ross immigrated from Southerlandshire, Scotland to Baltimore MD where his parents died at the end of the American Revolution. Daniel Ross accompanied by a companion by the name of Mayberry, journeyed to Hawkins County, Tennessee where they constructed a flat boat which they loaded with merchandise and the adventurous pair undertook a trip down the Tennessee River to the Chickasaw country to engage in the fur trade with the Indians. At Sitico, on the Tennessee River near Lookout Mountain, they were detained by the Cherokees and as a consequence, were enforced to remain among the members of that tribe. It was here that young Ross became acquainted with John MacDonald and the members of his family and in 1786, married his daughter Mary. She was born at Fort Loudoun, Tennessee, on November 1, 1770 and died at Maryville, Tennessee on October 5, 1808. During the next twenty years, Daniel Ross traveled among and traded with the Cherokee Indians at numerous trading posts which he had established. He enjoyed the highest confidence of these Indians, wielded considerable influence among them and died on May 22, 1830. The children of Daniel and Mary Ross were Jennie, Eliza, John (Chief) , Susannah, Lewis, Andrew, Annie, Margaret and Marie.

   Note that Joseph's father is NOT named.

4. Isaac Day Parks' "Origins of the Parkses -- Pedigree of the Family" 1877

   Isaac Day Parks was the son of Richard Taylor Parks who was the son of Samuel Parks the youngest son of Joseph Parks. In 1877 he left a description of the family pedigree (See the transcription on Ken Parks' East Tennessee page).

   "Samuel Parks [was the] son of Joseph Parks of Blount County [TN] formerly of North Carolina and originally from Maryland.

5. Joseph and William in Loudoun County VA 1774-9
   The Earliest Evidence of Joseph and William Parks

   The oldest references to Joseph Parks are the tithable records in Loudoun VA 1774-1777.

   The oldest known land reference to Joseph and William Parks is the land transaction in Loudoun VA 1778-1779

   from "Index to Loudoun County Deeds -- Books A-Z 1757-1800" by Patricia B. Duncan Willow Bend Books Westminster MD 2002 Book M Page 186-187 10 Sep 1778 Jacob Stookesberry/Stukebury of Loudoun County to Joseph Parks and William Parks l/r (lease/release) 100 ac. Witnesses: Michael Geoghegan and Aram Hagarman Book N Page 50 15 Aug 1779 Joseph Parks and wife Ruth and William Parks and wife Mary of Loudoun to Joseph Thomas of Loudoun l/r (lease/release) of 100 ac (part of land granted to Amos Janney) Witness Joshua Daniels, Thomas Adams, Joseph Caldwell The Janney family were prominent in Quakers in Loudoun County VA. Abel, William and Jacob (sons of Joseph Janney of Bucks PA and Cheshire Eng) all resided in Loudoun County. This Joseph Thomas is found in the Loudoun Virginia providing lodging to soldiers in 1782 http://vagensearch.com/AmericanRevolution/PatrioticService/1782March13.html "Joseph Thomas for 325 lb Beef [note: 1 nights lodging and accommodations for 10 Continental officers and soldiers was refused by the court and scratched out of the Minute Book]" ------------- http://genforum.genealogy.com/parke/messages/770.html, Lois Newell says about the John Parks 1777 York PA will: Joseph Parks appears as paying tithes 1774, 1775, and 1776 in Loudoun Co VA living with Thomas Gibson & William Young- Shelburne Parish in 1775 and 1776 and with Robert Parks in 1777. According to a 1779 Deed in Loudoun Co Joseph & Ruth Parks & William & Mary Parks signed a deed 1779 John Parks was listed with Cornelius Vandeventer John, Moses,James Gibson were also listed in 1774 Shelburne Parish There was also an Andrew Parke who md 1774 Jane (?) Stokesberry-Walker Shelburne Parish was located in the Northern part of Loudoun Co VA The names all are as recorded in York Co PA is why I asked. Note that this may connect Andrew who in 1774 m. Jane (Stokesbury) and who was a tithable in Loudoun is Joseph. Joseph and William leased land in 1778/9 from Jacob Stokesbury in Loudoun VA. Jane ? Stokesberry Walker Parks is not a young woman. Ask noted by Los Newell in http://genforum.genealogy.com/w/walker/messages/19901.html Seeking info on Benjamin Walker md. Jane (?) widow of Robert Stokesberry JR. probably PA or Loudoun Co. VA. Jane (?) Stookesberry md Benjamin Walker then md. Andrew Parke 1774 Loudoun Co. VA. She & her son Jacob Stookesberry inherited land in Loudoun Co VA 1774 from her husband Robert Stokesberry. Thanks Ann http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/a/v/Angela-Mcafee-Davis-TN/GENE7-0002.html#CHILD2 says that Jacob is Jane Stokesberry/Walker/Parks third child bc 1753 Loudoun VA and died in Anderson TN in 1839. So Jane must have been born ca 1730 and be nearly fifty when she marries Andrew Parks in Loudoun in 1774 This is likely the same Jacob Stookesbery who leases land to Joseph Parks and William Parks in 1778 in Loudoun. Joseph Parks Tithable in Loudoun VA 1774-1776 In Sherborn Parish, Joseph is shown in the Household of Thomas Gibson as a tithable in 1774 and 1775 Joseph is shown again in 1776 with Robert Parks Andrew is shown alone in 1774 William Parke is shown alone in Cameron Parish in 1774 See the Loudoun County Virginia Tithable Records below Thomas Gibson appears not to be directly related to the Gibson connection of the family John Parks 1777 York PA will. This Thomas (b. 1734 Chester PA son of Joseph Gibson and Alice Jackson) and is continuously in Loudoun County VA till he dies in 1784 in Loudoun. In Feb 1775 Joseph Parks appears attends the Quaker wedding (Fairfax monthly meeting) wedding of Moses Gibson who married Lydia Leonard. Also in attendance was Thomas Gibson (who Joseph appears to be living withas a tithable in 1774 and 1775).

6. Joseph and William in Rockingham County North Carolina and Henry County Virginia in the 1780s and 1790s

   There are six land references that place William and Joseph in Henry County Virginia and Rockingham County North Carolina in the 1780-1790 era. These two counties are adjacent and form the border between North Carolina and Virginia. The three locations are shown below on topographical maps from www.topozone.com.

   The most important identifier for Joseph and William references is the third one below, where William's wife is identified as "Mary" (the same as the Loudoun County Virginia land transactions above).

   A second tie to Henry County Virginia is the 1799 marriage of Joseph Parks (William's son) to Caty Kelly in 1799. From http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/henry/vitals/marriages/1700-1799.txt

   05 Mar 1799 Parks, Joseph Kelley, Caty

   At http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oldmill/cox.htm on the Charles Cox I Descendants page, we find this Henry County Virginia reference:

   The Charles Cox III, 1760-1832, referred to here is probably the grandson of Charles Cox and his wife, Ida Bennett Cox. He is also the husband of Frances Kelley, because Frances Kelly Cox had a sister: Caty Kelly Parks, and a brother: Mason Kelly, named in the will of their father, John Kelly Sr. [Henry County Will Book 3, page 27.] John Kelly Sr. was married to Catherine Bennett...

   William Parks appears on the 1782 Henry County Virginia Personal Property Tax List (http://www.newrivernotes.com/va/henr1782.htm) Henry County was formed in 1776 from Pittsylvania County VA. William Parks Thithes 1 Negroes - Horses 3 Cattle 9 Also appearing on this list are John Acuff, Patrick Henry, Martha Wilson, Jacob Stollings, Thomas Wilson, John Minter, Barnabas Kelly (Yearly?), John Conway -- all of whom are shown with William and Joseph Parks in the three Henry County Land transactions shown below. Only Reuben Nance doesn't appear on this tax list. ADDED AT PROOF: In 1782 in adjacent Pittsylvania County Virginia, a William Parks and John Parks can be found that are apparently NOT our family of interest. Specifically, http://www.rootsweb.com/~vapittsy/1782LandTaxes.htm shows: John Parks 255 acres William Parks 170 acres Further, http://www.rootsweb.com/~vapittsy/census.htm, shows the Pittsylvania 1782 census data: John Parks 12 whites 17 blacks William Parks 3 whites 1 black and the Pittsylavania Marriage records at http://www.magiclink.com/web/sinatra/ shows 24 Dec 1780 Parks, William married Pain, Caty Note this is actually Catherine Payne. Children in Henry County Missouri. As William of our interest was married to Mary ?, one may conclude that the Parks' of Pittsylvania County are NOT our family of interest. See this William's detail at: http://museum.bmi.net/STEPS%20PEOPLE/Parks,%20William.htm or http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hcmo&id=I17625 Three land references from Abstracts of Deeds of Henry County VA 1784-1792 by Leila Adams 1978 This first set of land transactions shows William Parks adjacent to the famous Revolutionary Patrick Henry (the namesake of Henry county VA who resided there at his plantation Leatherwood 1779-1784). Thomas Wilson and Wife Mary of county of Henry County and parish of Patrick to William Parks of same for the sum of 100 pounds land on both sides of Smith River where said Thomas Wilson now lives 100 acres adjoining Patrick Henry, Martha Wilson, Jacob Stallings Feb 27 1783, pg 108 William Parks, Joseph Parks, Barnaby Yearly witness to sale of 240 acres by Patrick Henry to John Minter and wife Susan on Leatherwood Creek, the western fork, adjoining the lands of Lomax & company, John Acuff, Reuben Nance and John Conway, April 2 1783. pg 118 This reference is also in "Patrick Henry: The Henry County Years" by Charles P. Blount on Page 50. William and Mary Parks his wife of Rockingham County NC to William Roberts of Henry County for the consideration of 100 pounds sells land on both sides of Smith River at the mouth of Leatherwood Creek being 100 acres formerly the property of Thomas Wilson. Witnesses: William St. Cox Francis Gilley Thomas Stewart Nov 10 1788 proved Apr 30 1792, pg 143 This land is 5 miles north of the VA-NC state line and 6 miles southeast of downtown Martinsville VA in Henry County. Notice the "Patrick Henry Monument" on Leatherwood Creek at the top of the map. Three references from Rockingham County NC Deed Abstracts 1785-1800 by Irene Webster 1973 Rockingham County was created in 1785 from the northern portion of Guilford County NC.

July 1788. pg 24 John Leak to Joseph Parks 50 pounds for 102 acres on Matrimony Creek adjacent to said Leak and Reese Price. Feb 26 1793, pg 43 (John Leak was one of first Justice of the Peace in Rockingham County and a captain in the Revolution. He lived north of the Dan River. He established Leakesville on the Dan River in 1795 and sold tracts on Matrimony Creek. The towns of Leaksville, Spray and Draper were consolidated in 1967 to form Eden NC. "Land of Eden" was the named of the original 70,000 acre plot owned by William Byrd in 1728. Bryds died in 1744. Twenty six thousand acres were sold to the Farley brothers by William Byrd III in 1755. James Parke Farley's mother Eleanor Parke was the niece of Daniel Parke of Antigua and Francis Farley who was part of the Dismal Swamp real estate conglomerate. Reese Price who bought land from Peter Perkins in 1785 in Rockingham County NC) Matrimony Creek is shown below as it forms the west side of Eden NC and flows into the Dan River just above where the Smith River flows into the Dan. Henry Burch to John Fendel Carr for 150 pounds 300 acres on south side of Mayo River to Buffalo Creek adjacent to William Parks, Reuben Jackson, William Moore, Bryson's old wagon road Mar 1788 witness Zachariah King, Benjamin South, Littlebury Mays, Reuben Jackson. The location of the intersection of the Mayo River and Buffalo Creek is west of Eden NC almost on the Stokes county line. A portion of mapmaker Mark Anderson Moore's excellent complete map of the "Great Wagon Road in North Carolina 1750-1780" is shown to the left. The shows the intersection of Buffalo Creek and the Mayo River where William Parks had land in the late 1780s. It is very near to Great Wagon Road as it passes through Virginia into North Carolina west of Eden NC. The detailed topograhical map is shown above. Exactly how far west on Buffalo Creek this tract was located is unknown. The distance from the William Parks location in Henry County (the intersection of Leatherwood and the Smith River) and Joseph's Location in Rockingham NC (Matrimony Creek) is only about eight miles. The distance from Joseph's location to William's in Rockingham county is also shown (approximately ten miles).

7. William Parks in Henry County Virginia -- Two references between Patrick Henry and Joseph Martin

   1. "...i received a few goods by William Parks..." Below is a letter from Joseph Martin to Patrick Henry that mentions William Parks as delivering goods to Joseph Martin. In keeping with hypothesis that William and Joseph Parks lived on or very near the main roads, this interesting note places him in the transportation/mercantile business in 1783. The Great Wagon Road as in moves south through Virginia crosses the Virginia North Carolina border and fords the "Mayo River". Buffalo Creek on the Mayo River (described above) as William Parks' location in 1780s. The Great Wagon Road was the main North-South artery, and was the main route of transportation from North to South into the Blue Ridge area of the Piedmont. This Road is thought to have touched far southeast Patrick County where Patrick and Henry Counties come together along the North Mayo River. http://www.geocities.com/cyberweed40/GREATWAGONROAD.html Letters from Joseph Martin to Patrick Henry Southern Historical Society, Vol 6 Jan 1902 pg 30 Dear Sir Henry County ye 2nd April 1799 You applyd to me in 1784 thro Mr Fountain for some certificates to secure some land in North Carolina.

From: Patrick Henry: Life, Correspondences and Speeches V3 pg 377, from Oct. 4 1786, Patrick Henry to Joseph Martin "...I sent you one large medal & a package of goods by Wm Parks, pray did thay come safe? Write me about it and every other thing you think proper... Regarding Joseph Martin (1740-1808) http://www.danielboonetrail.com/historicalsites.php?id=89 http://www.martinsstation.com/history.shtml Martin was a long hunter and Indian negotiator. He also was a land agent for Dr. Thomas Walker (the Loyal Company) and established early settlements in Western VA/NC. Later (1775) he became the agent for the Transylvania Comapny (the competitor of the Loyal Company). Returned to Henry County in 1789 He was a resident of Henry County VA ("Scuffle Hill on the Smith River) Patrick Henry -- "...give me liberty or give me death..."

8. Joseph Parks in Greene County Tennessee 1788 (actually NC at the time)

   The next sighting of Joseph is in 1788 when he purchases land from John Hughes, who purchased the land from Robert Blackburn who received the original land grant from the state of NC in 1782 (this is pre-Tennessee formation) for his Revolutionary War service at King's Mountain.

   The Tennessee land of Joseph Parks is located off Lick Creek which empties into the Nolichucky River near the intersection of the current Greene, Hamblin and Cocke counties. The Nolichucky River forms the southwest boundary of Greene County. It is at the intersection of Horse Stamp Fork and Lick Creek. See this map. Note that Horse Stamp Fork is due north of Greeneville and flows north into Lick Creek. Cane creek is a Lick Creek tributary to the west and Racoon Creek a tributary to the east. Lick Creek flows along the base of Bays Mountain for nearly 70 miles to the to the northern boundary of Greene county with Washington County. The ridge of Bays mountain forms the western boundary of Greene county with Hawkins county. The Holston River lies in the valley on the western slope of Bays mountain, while Lick Creek drains the eastern slope of Bays mountain into the Nolichucky and then the French Broad River. The land of Joseph Parks in Greene county was originally granted to Robert Blackburn a King's Mountain soldier of Revolutionary War. Robert Blackburn land grant to John Hughes In "NC Land Grants Recorded in Tennessee" by Goldene Fillers Burgner, Southern Historical Press, 1991 "4 May 1783 Robert Blackburn of Wash. County to John Hughes for 70 pounds 150 acres on Horse Camp Creek waters of Lick Creek" (see below -- this is Horse Stamp Fork") This same transaction is also in "Greene County Deed Book 1" pg 112: "Indenture 4 May 1783 Robert Blackburn of Washington Co NC and John Hughes Greene Co NC 70 pounds tract in said Greene county on Camp Creek waters of Lick Creek (NOTE: HOrse Stamp Fork -- not Horse Camp Fork) being 150 acres and same granted at Fairfield 24 Oct 1782 Grant Number 3371 Wit Daniel Kennedy Francis Hughes" John Hughes to Joseph Parks -- the earliest Tennessee record In "Greene County deed Book 1" pg 112: "Indenture 14 August 1788 John Hughes and Joseph Parks 100 pounds paid 150 acres on Horse Creek Waters of Lick Creek (Horse Stamp Fork -- not Horse Camp Fork) . Land granted to Robert Blackburn Grant 337 at Fairfield Oct 24 1782. Signed by Sarah Hughes wit John Newman Francis Johnson registered 2 Sep 1789" Joseph Parks to Thomas Thompson In "Greene County deed Book 1" pg 123: "Indenture 9 Feb 1805 Joseph Parks and Thomas Thompson both of Greene Co TN 200 pounds paid tract on Horse Camp Creek (Horse Stamp Fork) waters of Lick Creek 150 acres it being conveyed to said Parks by deed from John Hughes on 14 Aug 1788 conveyed to Hughes by deed from Robert Blackburn 4 May 1783 and being granted to Blackburn by Grant No. 337 24 Oct 1782 in NC wit John Jones Frederick White registered 8 May 1807." NOTE: This land is actually on "HORSE STAMP FORK" not "HORSE CAMP FORK" Below is Thomas McCollum's land reference from http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=nancc&id=I00864 Thomas MCCOLLUM Sex: M Birth: 1751 in Cumberland Co.

   Joseph Parks was a witness on a land sale in Greene County TN 11/1794 between Shadrack Morris and John Newman for a tract on Lick Creek.

   Joseph Parks was a witness 11/1795 on an indenture between Joseph Tidball of Winchester Frederick VA and Robert Wyly of Greenville in Greene Co for 1 and 1/2 acres in the town of Greenville

   Joseph Parks was mentioned in a 1808 transaction: "Deed 26 Jan 1808 Francis Johnson Knox Co TN conveys to Alexander Thompson of Greene Co TN 666 2/3 pounds 150 acres on Lick Creek being said Johnson formerly lived on beg at corner to John Hughes which was conv to Joseph Parks and by him to Thomas Johnson Wit. Henry Thompson John Glass reg 15 Dec 1808"

   Note: this entry says Joseph Parks sold his land to Thomas Johnson. Item 3 above says he sold the land to Thomas Thompson.

   Joseph Park witness with John Newman a land sale between Joseph Henderson and Daniel Bonine in 1793

   William Parks witness 1796 to John Gore pg 78

   Robert Parks Witness 1802 witness to William Wilson and John Gass pg 101

   There is a Horse Creek is eastern Greene County that flows from the North Carolina mountains to the town of Horse Creek at the eastern Greene county border with Washington county. This stream flows west into the Nolichucky River about three miles east of Greenville. Along this creek there is a "Horse Creek Campground" in the foothills. This is NOT the Horse Creek of the Joseph Parks deed since it is NOT on the waters of Lick Creek. This should read Horse Stamp Fork.

   See this map. Note that Horse Stamp Fork is due north of Greeneville and flows north into Lick Creek. Cane creek is a Lick Creek tributary to the west and Racoon Creek a tributary to the east.

   

   The land of Joseph parks was from an original grant to Robert Blackburn. There are seven Blackburn men on the King's Mountain roster:

   Blackburn, Arthur
   Blackburn, George
   Blackburn, John
   Blackburn, Joseph
   Blackburn, Robert

9. William Parks in Greene County Tennessee 1791 (actually NC at the time)

The town of Bull's Gap lies to the north of Whitehorn Creek. Joseph's land and William's land lie about twenty miles apart. Joseph's land lies near the Great Warrior Path (currently Interstate 81 -- not shown on te map below) and William's in Bull's Gap near Highway 11E (this would be the east-west Kentucky Road from Salisbury NC to the Cumberland Gap). The next western tavern after Russellville was Crockett's Tavern in Morristown TN (parents of Davy Crockett) Highway 11 passes through Bull's Gap of Bay's Mountain down into the Tennessee River Valley. Highway 11 follows generally the old stage road from Grenville to Knoxville. Highway 11 veers north of the stage road and reunites with the original stage road in Russelville abouts six miles to west.

    Govenor John Sevier entertained at William Parks' lodging In Andrew Jackson and Early Tennessee History -- Volume 2 By Samuel Gordon Heiskell, John Sevier (see Google books) William Parks (his land was variously in in Greene/Jefferson/Anderson/Hamblin counties) on Bent Creek ran a tavern and or lodge in Bull's Gap (near Russelville Tennessee on the Kentucky Road -- Highway 11-E). John Sevier in travels from Jonesborough Tennesse to Knoxville ate, lodged and had stock feed at Parks. We know this is our William Parks because of the location reference to "Bent Creek" by Jackson and that he then breakfasted at "Col Rodies" the next morning. Parks' land was adjacent to Roddy's (see Anderson County Deed above). Col James Roddy (1742-1822 Jefferson Tennessee).

    David Tipplen "History of the Territory South of the French Broad-Land Grants
    http://www.sevierlibrary.org/genealogy/landgrant/fbh.htm
    He says of the entries such as the one above:

    "Approximately 15 years ago I located a book in the Knox County Register of Deeds office, which I transcribed for my own use in abstract, and my own brand of shorthand. When I returned several years later to correct errors and check items I had questions about this book was not found. I am sure that these abstracts contain errors but I also strongly feel that in spite of these errors, these abstracts contain much information that is helpful to genealogists. Each entry contains the several pieces of information about the land granted, but there were several different surveyors and each had his own style therefore not all contain the same information. An example is taken from entry #8 and the abstract reads-Robert Wilson was granted 244 acres 60 poles in Sevier County that was located on Little East Fork of Little Pigeon River. There were no chain carriers listed on the entry which was surveyed March 31, 1807. CC is my indication for chain carrier that I think to be important, because these are often sons, brothers or other relations to the grantee or neighbors who had adjoining grants. Andrew Donovan is listed as chain carrier on many of the grants in Cocke County and I believe he was a member of the survey team which was led by George Gordon, surveyor. George Gordon made the majority if not all the grants in Cocke County. A microfilm of this book is available from the Tennessee Library and Archives in Nashville.

    I would like to make one other comment about these grants. At the time these grants were made the rivers were not known by the names we use today. In the grants Tennessee River applies to what we today call the Little Tennessee River that runs into today's Tennessee River but at the time of the grants was the Holston River. At the time of the grants today's Tennessee River was the Holston River from its merger with the French Broad just above Knoxville to the mouth of what was then the Tennessee River in today's Loudoun County." From the Isaac Day Parks' 1877 document on the Ken Parks East TN Parks website, Isaac says:

    "Abner resided in the "Old Homestead" in Blount County Tennessee situated on the Holston River."

    Abner (bc 1787- d 1861 Blount County TN) is one of Joseph's sons. Abner may have run "Parks Ferry". He is listed in the 1860 Blount Census as age 75 and occupation wagon maker. Adjacent are his sons Calvin and Joseph (both farmers) and Samuel French (who married Abner's daughter).

    On the 1850 census, Abner is listed as a mechanic. Son Calvin is Adjacent with a large family

    There is a historical "Parks Ferry" as shown below:

    

    Note the peninsula is called "Parks' Bend" and "Parks Ferry Road" goes down to the river (Now Fort Loudoun Lake about 5 miles east northeast of Lenoir City TN). The red cross hairs are the exact location of Parks Ferry -- now under water. Lake Loudoun has an lake level elevation of 812 ft (June 2006). The contours shown are 20 ft increments. So the ferry location is at about 780 ft or 32 feet underwater.

    Note the black lines are the county boundaries for: Blount (where Parks' Bend is shown); Loudoun (formerly Roane) to the west (where Coulter Shoals is shown) Knox (where is the high hill "Saltpeter Bluff" is shown northeast of Parks Bend)

    This land first appears as county boundary in 1801 (i.e., the intersection of three counties: Blount, Roane and Knox).

    Roane was formed in 1801 by the separation of the existing southwest corner of Knox county.
    Tennessee was formed in 1796
    Blount was formed from Knox in 1795.
    So all sides of Parks bend were in Knox County prior to 1795.
    Knox was formed in 1792 from Greene and Hawkins county.
    
    Prior to 1792 this land would have been in Indian Territory.

    Interestingly, across the river is Coulter Shoals. Joseph's daughter Becky married a Coulter. Coulter Shoals was the original name chosen for what was ultimately called Ft. Loudoun Lake by the TVA

13. Joseph Parks' Will Frederick MD 1771

    According to the Frazier story (above), Joseph Parks had a brother and a sister ("He had two sons and one daughter. A Mr. Winchester married his only daughter and was made his heir."). The 1771 will of Joseph Parks below seems to fit this data.

Elizabeth Parkinson William Blair http://www.emmitsburg.net/archive_list/articles/history/rev_war/forgotten_patriots_of_tom_creek.htm In 1775, as the Revolutionary War progressed, several regiments were raised in Frederick County Maryland. A Militia Regiment was established and consisted of two companies ready for military use that was formed in Toms Creek Hundred. First, was the Game Cock Company under the command of Captain William Blair. They were called the Game Cock Company because of the plum feathers that they had when they wore their hats. The Game Cock Company proved their bravery at White Plains New York during Washington's retreat. The second company was under the command of Captain William Shields, who also participated in the battle of White Plains. These companies together produced more than a hundred soldiers that were ready for military use.

    The number of children (3) in this will corresponds to the Rev Frazier family lore. If true, she also must have married Mr. Winchester (see Winchester data here. Two descendants of Mary Parks and William Winchester Jr. are named "Andrew Parks Winchester".

    from: The Sparks Quarterly:

    On April 25 1761 William Sparks, Joseph Parks and Richard Wells reported to the Frederick County Court that they had surveyed a new road connecting with the road "from the heaqd of Little Pipe Creek to baltimore Town"

    As to the Andrew Parks who signed the will, we find he and Abraham Hayter buying and selling real estate in Frederick (see Hayter/Parks real estate here and Abraham Hayter here)

    Administrator Andrew is perhaps shown in Loudoun County VA in 1774 as is Joseph (Tithables of Loudoun). Then there is also this:

    "Seeking info on Jane Walker who md Andrew Parke in Loudoun Co.

April 17, 1808 (Anderson County, TN) Jesse and a small group of settlers arrived in the northeastern portion of Tennessee at about the time of the formation of the Watauga Association. When the first court was established in 1777 in Washington County, N. C., the names of Abraham Hoskins, Constable; Ning Hoskins; Elijah Hoskins; Jesse Hoskins, Constable; John Hoskins and Ruth Hoskins, his wife; Josiah Hoskins; and James Hoskins was listed in the proceedings of the court. It is possible that all or part of the above mentioned Hoskinses were related but the writers have found no proof of this." From Jesse Hoskins Tennessee Pioneer and his Descendants. REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERVICE From the book "Jesse Hoskins; Tennessee Pioneer and his Descendants" Jesse served in the American Revolution and was paid for his services by script signed by Landon Carter and John Sevier, Nos. 385, 1130 and 1187. These scripts were used to purchase his land grants, and are on file at the North Carolina Department of Archives and History, Raleigh, North Carolina. These grants are also listed in Penelope Allen's "Tennessee Soldiers in the American Revolution" and Cartright and Gardiner's "North Carolina Land Grants in Tennessee, 1778-1791". Further proof of Jesse's military service is noted in "Tennessee During the Revolutionary War" by C. S. Williams and "Annals of Tennessee" by Ramsey ( p. 212). "The next call upon the over-mountain men came in February 1780 from the North Carolina Council of State...at a meeting of sundry of the Militia Officers of Washington this 18th day of March 1780...On the same page is a list of Captains. They are Captains McKnabb, Sevier, Hoskins, Been, Brown, Isbell, Trimble, Willson, Gist, Stinson, Davis, Patterson, Williams. " Even though the given name has been omitted the following reference will show that Jesse Hoskins held the rank of Captain. On page 23 of "Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 35", abstracted by John Frederick Dorran, it is stated that William Everette "...went to the head of Holston in Virginia and there substituted in the place of John Paine who was a drafted militia man, and served under Capt. Jesse Hoskins against the Indians in 1782 for three months. He was stationed at Dotson's ford on the Holston River some time. He was in no engagement with the Indians and returned and was discharged by Capt. Hoskins..." Jesse married Mary A. ? (Hoskins). Mary died before Jul 1829 in Anderson County, Tennessee. DEATH: "Mary A----- Hoskins died before July 1829. In that same year her eldest son, George Hoskins, administered her estate." From "Jesse Hoskins Tennessee Pioneer and His Descendants" pg 07.

    Historical Background 1835 December 29. The Treaty of New Echota was signed by minority representatives of the Cherokee Nation and officials of the United States government in which the native Cherokee Nation would remove west to the “Indian Territories,” opening lands in southeast Tennessee, northern Georgia, and southwestern North Carolina to white settlement. Lands in southeast Tennessee are opened allowing the creation of the “Ocoee District.” The Treaty was ratified on May 23, 1836. 1841 The final Revolutionary War land grants were issued by the State of North Carolina. The bound volumes of grants were microfilmed by TSLA several years ago. These 204 reels are identified as Tennessee Land Grants with subheadings North Carolina, Watauga Purchase, Tennessee General, East (District) Tennessee, Middle (District) Tennessee, West (District) Tennessee, Mountain District, Hiwassee and Ocoee Districts. William Parks' brother Samuel Parks also received a grant. Samuel got grant number 934 made Dec 16 1839 -- eight grants and one day before William's grant number 942 made Dec 17 1839. Samuel's grant was "in the first range west of the basis line, First township, Twenty Eight section being in the North East quarter") Following from: http://files.usgwarchives.net/tn/maps/survdist.txt The 1836 East Tennessee District The Ocoee District In 1833, "...the laws and jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee...are hereby extended to the southern limits of the State, over that tract of country now in the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians..." [71] Here was the Cherokee's last hold out. Then came the Ocoee District in 1836. Located in the southeast corner of East Tennessee. "That the public lands of this State ceded by the Cherokee Nation of Indians to the United States by treaty of the 23rd day of May, 1836, shall constitute a surveyors' district, which shall be known by the name of 'Ocoee District'..." In this treaty, called the Treaty of New Echota or Treaty of Removal, the Cherokee Nation ceded all lands that were owned, claimed or possessed by them, east of the Mississippi River. The treaty also provided for the removal of the Indians, two years after ratification. We can set the boundaries from existing maps: the State Line on the east and south, the Tennessee River on the west, the Hiwassee River on the north. Also a small strip of land north of the Hiwassee River and west of the Blue Ridge. [See Hiwassee District section.] There were survey conflicts between the Ocoee and the Hiwassee Districts, involving the exact placement of the dividing line between the two Districts. This involved islands in the Hiwassee River and similar claims among other things. [74] The office of the Surveyor General of the District was established at Cleveland, Bradley County.[75] ~ There is no extant original map of the Ocoee District. There is a map, ca. 1850-60, surveyed by Capt. O. M. Poe. TSLA map #898.

March 2nd 1849 State versus Alexander M. Wallace We the undersigned Justices of the Peace for the County of Bradley having examined the testimony are of the opinion that the defendant if not guilty of of murder in the first degree, but is guilty of murder in the second degree and is ordered to be committed to the the jail of Bradley County.. and ordered to appear at the next term of the circuit court for the county of Bradley Tennessee Testimony of Esq. A. J. Parks [editor's notes: Parks though apparently a person of some consequence, since he is given the title Esquire, does not appear in the 1850 Bradley Census... (note see 1850 Bradley County census below where Andrew is the "A H Parks") ...He was the only man brave enough to try to part Herriford and Wallace, even while the bullets were flying" ] A.J. Parks being next examined... Q. Were you or not present when the difficulty took place between the defendant and Mr. Herriford, and if so state all you heard or seen between the parties at the time. A. I know nothing about the commencement of the difficulty. I heard but a very few words pass before they clinched. The first words that I heard betwixt the parties, Mr Herriford was standing with one foot in the box and the other on the wheel. Herriford said to Wallace if he would take his hand out of his pockets and lay down his weapons, he could whip him, he did not fight with anything but his fist. Wallace told him he had a right to keep his hands in his pocket. Mr. Wallace then observed to Herriford: " ...he [Herriford] was a nasty triffling low bred son of a bitch. When he spoke that to Herriford he [Herriford] raised straight up in the stage again and jumped out of the stage on the left side of Wallace. And when he got out by the side of him, Stuart went to him and handed him a piece of paper. Then says Herriford to him [Wallace]: "who is a trifflinger, lower bred man than yourself?" Then Herriford caught Wallace around the body, catching hold of his right arm with his right hand reaching around him. Then after that there was two shots from a gun or pistol, but did not see the pistol at that time. After the two fires of the pistol, I hallowed to some of the men to part them. There was no one took hold of them but myself, taking hold of both of them. Just as I took hold of them there was three more fires and a cap bursted, and after that took place I threw them apart, letting Wallace go and holding on to Herriford. Mr. Herriford said to me" "Don't hurt me any more." I told him I was not going to hurt him, was only going to part them. Am not certain when I first picked him up whether he said: "I am a dead man" or not, bu something to that amount passed. During the time of the shooting there was some person hallowed Murder, but could not tell who it was until the last, and then understood it was Wallace, the man that was under. Cross Examination Did you not hear Wallace tell Herriford to keep his hands off him? Can't state exactly how near I was when they commenced, but I suppose it was something like 5 feet when they clinched for fighting. Was off some distance when they commenced quarrelling.Wallace was standing with his left side to Herriford. Herriford remarked to Wallace: "Who was a lower bred man than yourself?" Mr. Wallace then went to turn so as to face Herriford and while in the act of turning, Herriford caught hold of him. I don't know that they got entirely on the ground during the scuffle. Wallace was probably on his knees at one time. Herriford was on top, don't know whether Herriford was a very stout man or not. I was not acquainted with him. Don't know that I was doing anything after the fight commenced, accept to hallow to the men to part them. There was some 10 or 15 men standing off a short distance from where the scuffle commenced. The encounter lasted but a short time, was done very quick... They were within 3 or 4 feet of the wall of the house, on the pavement, when the first engagement took place. After that they scuffled off the pavement. There was a great deal of confusion and much surprise and there might have been some things taking place that I did not observe. Signed A. J.

"I solemnized the rites of matrimony between the within named parties on the sixth day of November, 1866," signed, Anderson Campbell, J P for Bradley Co TN. The bride is Mary Ann Hayes and the groom, John Wesley Parks. After a few yrs, the couple moved to Dawsonville Georgia. The family church membership was at Sweetwater. John answered the call to the ministry pastoring and preaching at Baptist churches in Dawson County. In "A Bicentennial Look at Dawson Co." Rev. Parks is listed as pastoring New Bethel Baptist in 1883-84, 1897-1899, 1907-1908, 1918-1919. He pastored Bethel Baptist 1901-02. John and Mary Ann are buried at Bethel. Many stories are told about the preaching of Bro. Parks. Many times he would preach from the seat of the pew. It would not be unusual for him to proceed to get upon the back of the pew, one foot on the back of one pew, the other foot on the back of the next pew. He was a small agile man with a good voice, giving to "fire and brimstone sermons. As often quoted verse of scripture he used is "God is not mocked, whatsoever one sows, that shall he also reap."

Among those were brothers David Cooper and William W Cooper and brother-in-law Henry J Parks. They all were conscripted in December 1861 in Cleveland Tennessee into the 36th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. This unit was subsequently disbanded owing to the desertion rate amongst the conscripts.

18. Possible families for Joseph and William
    1.  Robert Parks and younger brother John (James) Parks "tea merchant Hagarstown/Baltimore sons of John Parks (d 1777 Warrington Township, York County PA)

       There is a well documented John Parks in Maryland (Frederick 1770-177/8, then Baltimore) who was a tea merchant and a Frederick MD accused traitor. He was arrested, jailed and released in Baltimore 1781 See the Frederick and Baltimore detail for John Parks -- tea merchant here.

       Two recent documents from Ken Parks shows that this John the tea merchant may be John (or James) Parks son of John Parks who left a will in York County PA in 1777 (from the Park/e/s Society). A second document was written by Sarah Gibson and chronicles some Parks genealogy that matches the story and partially matches the family tree of the John Parks of York PA will. Sarah Gibson uses the name James instead of John as stated in the York PA will. I combined the two genealogies in on diagram and added some new stuff.

       This John Parks is likely NOT the father of Joseph -- but he may be related. Joseph is too old to be a son of John the tea merchant and is not listed on the York will of John Parks in York PA in 1777.

       Joseph and William could be the sons of Robert Parks son of John (executor of the 1777 York will)

       Robert owned land in York County as did father John

       Robert appears in Loudoun County VA 1775-76 with Joseph as a Tithable in 1775.

       After 1777 (when John Parks of York PA died), Robert appears as a landowner in York Pennsylvania (Warrington township) during the early 1780s. This implies that John Parks' land reverted to eldest son Robert in 1777. Specifically, in "Returns of taxables of the county of York: for the years 1779, 1780, 1781, 1782 and 1783", by William Henry Egle, 1879, the York tax records say:

       • pg 91 1779 Robert Parks 10 acres Warrington Township
       • pg 293 1780 Robert Parks 100 acres Warrington Township
       • pg 413 1781 Robert Parks 100 acres Warrington Township
       • pg 413 1782 Robert Parks 113 acres Warrington Township
       • Robert Parks in Warrington Township 1783 150 acres value 132

       According to Sarah Gibson's book, Robert would have been the eldest son born circa 1737 in Ireland. While Joseph and William remain in Loudoun county after 1777, Robert Parks -- with whom Joseph is living in 1777, is listed in Shelburne parish in 1776, 1777 and 1780. Joseph is in Loudoun VA in 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777 as a tithable. Joseph has land transactions with brotehr William in 1778 and 1779. William also appears in Loudoun as a tithable in Cameron parish in 1774.

       Robert thereafter disappears. No will. No Death date.

       There is a Robert Parks buried in Alleghany County PA, in the Montour Presbyterian Cemetery, Robinson Township, Oakdale, Alleghany County PA. He died 1816 at age 78, thus born 1738. This is near the date stated for Robert Parks son of John Parks of York PA who died in 1777 in Sarah Gibson's book. (see this)

       Alleghany County PA References to "Robert Parks"

       1. Robert Parks appears on the 1798 tax lists, Second district Moon Township, Allegheny County
       2. Allegheny County 1791

       Here is the John of York; his son John the Tea Merchant's story (brother Robert is not detailed):

       1. Sarah Gibson's Book
       2. The York PA Will of John Parks 1777 from the Park Society
       3. Combined Sarah Gibson's AND John Parks of York PA
       4. Supplemental Data for Sarah Gibson's AND John Parks of York PA

    2. Joseph Parks (will 1771 Frederick MD) and Andrew Parks (executor)

       The children count (3) in the will of Joseph matches the Rev. Frazier story about Joseph's brother and sister. Andrew Parks is older perhaps a cousin and therefore wouldn't be Joseph father.

       ...except as Mary Parks marries William Winchester Jr and has two grand children named "Andrew Parks Winchester" we might consider Andrew as the father.

       Andrew Parks and Abraham Hayter are in Frederick buying and selling land in the 1760s. His death, will and travels outside this decade are unknown.

       An Andrew Parks is a tithable in Loudoun in 1774 where he marries Jane Stokesbury. William and Joseph also appear in Loudoun that year. Joseph remains there through 1777.

    3. John Parks of Baltimore who m Bridgett Milhouse

       John Parks of Baltimore is thought to be of an older Baltimore family who descend from Edward Parks. Dates from this John seem to correlate with Duggan's data above.

       However, this family does NOT appear to be related to Joseph. See next section on David.

    4. David Parks of Baltimore

       William Parks (later to son David as above) has two Baltimore land grants:
       
       William Parks 1754 Turkey Cock Ally BA
       William Parks 1764 Parks Death Not BA
       
       This Parks group is continuously in Baltimore during the 1750-1820 period.
       
       They are alledged to be related to the Edward (and John Parks who m. Bridgett Milhouse)
       group above. They represent Park/e/s Society limeage key XP and ARE NOT related to Joseph
       and William Parks.
       
       See detail for David Parks (b 1742) here
       
       

    There are no DNA matches to tie together ANY of these seven Parks groups. Joseph and William were likely brothers (DNA data, land lease and are in ultimately in TN).

    There are no DNA tests on the descendants of John the tea merchant (nor Robert the executor), nor Andrew or Joseph of Frederick, and the John, David and William of the "old Baltimore" families are excluded by DNA.

    But Robert son of John of 1777 York will is a candidate

    as is Joseph (died 1771) and Andrew of Frederick MD.

Perhaps he had 2 marriages. James was listed on a tax list in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA - on the list of 1803. James paid taxes in Union twp, Belmont Co., OH in 1810, but he was not listed on the 1806 tax list.

He did have a will, and here is a summary of his will, written on 13 May 1861; probated on 7 Aug 1861. His residence was Union twp, Belmont Co., OH. He gave to (1) David Parks $20.00; (2) Jonathan Parks $10.00; (3) James Parks $15.00; (4) John B.

David Parks David Parks was on a tax list for Franklin twp, Westmoreland co., PA in 1783. There are no tax lists for Westmoreland Co prior to 1783. In the 1783 tax list, his family consisted of 6 white inhabitants. David Parks was in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA by 1785 as he paid taxes that year. I traced him on the available tax lists in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA from 1785 to 1830. In some of the tax lists, there was the mention of his owning land there, 60-80 acres of land. In 1803 there was a listing also for James Parks, but only for the 1 year. In 1806, there was a listing for a John Parks, but only for the 1 year. Starting in 1816, there was a listing for David Parks Jr, and both of these men (David Parks and David Parks Jr) were listed in these tax lists through 1828. In 1829, there was no listing for any Parks in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA until 1840 when John Parks, a son of James Parks, was listed through 1842. In 1790, David Parks was on the census in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA with the following: 1 male 16 and up; 1 male 16 and under; 6 females In 1800, David Parks was in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA: Males: 10101 (head over 45 years) Females: 02101 (head over 45 years) In 1810, David Parks was in Franklin twp, Fayette Co., PA: Males: 110001 (head over 45 years) Females: 00001 (head over 45 years) Even though the tax lists for this twp showed that David Parks was still alive, he was not on the 1820 or any other census in Fayette Co., PA. He was possibly living with a daughter and family. There is a David Parks born in Maryland that shows only a son named James here http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=56842703 David Parks Born: 1750 [city], [county], MD, USA Died: 1810 [city], Fayette, PA, USA James Parks M 1781 in Uniontown, [county], PA, USA Edit Contrast to David Parks of Maryland (males over 18, Males 18 or less, Females) Benjamin 1 , 1 , 2 David 3 , 2 , 3 in the 1790 Federal census of Maryland Back River Upper Hundred County: Baltimore State: Maryland AND THERE IS ALSO a this about the Maryland David below from: http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=80128006# This David Parks is Park/e/s/Society Lineage Key XP and is not related to the Parks of this page.

This Baltimore David Parks DOES NOT MATCH the Parks' on this page. The David Parks b 1742 is identified as Park/e/s Society Lineage Key "XP" and is NOT genetically linked to the Joseph/William-Robert-James-Andrew of this page. See http://www.familytreedna.com/public/park-e-s/ for Group with Lineage Key=XP. This also eliminates the Descendants of the "OLD" Baltimore Family (here) So there is a David Parks in 1790 in Baltimore MD with lotsa sons and A David Parks in Fayette PA in 1790 with one son over 16 and one < 16 the over 16 could be Belmont James)

John Parks -- the Tea Merchant Stuff 1770 John the Tea Merchant Frederick MD This family group descends from John Parks who immigrated from County Down, Ireland about 1761 and died in Warrington Township PA in 1777. His son Robert is one possible father for the brothers Joseph and William Parks Another of John Parks of Warrington's sons is John (or James) Parks -- a tea merchant -- is part of this large mercantile Parks family of Maryland. It is well documented as a result of Revolutionary War events, marriage to George Washington's niece (by grandson Andrew Parks) and in the book of Sarah Gibson. I have not been able to tie brothers Joseph and William to this family -- but it is one of two posssibilities. Further I have been able to find NO living male descendants of this family that might be DNA tested. See this: On August 28, 1770, a meeting was held in a local schoolhouse near Toms Creek. These meetings were generally held in several Maryland counties to protest these import duties. John Troxell who owned and operated a mill near Tom's Creek was present at the meeting along with other Toms Creek hundred residents. James Smith from Elizabethtown (Hagerstown area) concluded the meeting, as he said, "Declaring their loyalty to the King and their country." Another man by the name of John Parks who was present at this meeting stated, "That the item would be boycotted." Ironically John Parks became a Tea Merchant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1774 John the Tea Merchant Frederick MD -- Three Versions This says: In August, 1774 the brigantine Mary and Jane, Captain George Chapman, master, arrived in St. Mary's River with several packages of tea on board consigned to merchants in Georgetown and Bladensburg. The Committee of Safety of Charles County immediately summoned the master and consignees before them. The explanations and submission of these gentlemen were declared satisfactory; and as the duty had not been paid, they were discharged on the pledge that the teas should not be landed, but should be sent back in the brig to London. On the 14th October the brig Peggy Stewart arrived in Annapolis, having in its cargo a few packages of tea. The duty was paid by Mr. Antony Stewart, the owner of the vessel. This submission to the oppressive enactment of Parliament called forth the deepest feeling. A public meeting was held; the owner of the vessel and the consignees in the most humble manner apologized for their offense, and consented to the burning of the tea. But the people were determined to exact a more signal vindication of their rights. The easy compliance of Mr. Stewart with the act had aroused their anger, and threats were poured out against his vessel and himself. Mr. Stewart, to soothe the violence of the people, and to make amends for his fault, offered to destroy the vessel with his own hand. The proposition was accepted; and while the people gathered in crowds upon the shore to witness its consummation, Mr. Stewart, accompanied by the consignees, went on board the brig, ran her aground on Windmill Point, and set fire to her in presence of the multitude. So obnoxious had tea become that wherever it was discovered its owners were forced to destroy it. Two months later the people of Frederick, having met at Hagerstown, compelled one John Parks to walk bare-headed, holding lighted torches in his hands, and set fire to a chest of tea which he had delivered up, and "which was consumed amidst the acclamations of a numerous body of people." This says: At Elizabethtown (now Hagerstown, in Washington county) the committee of vigilance of the district caused one John Parks to go with his hat off, with a lighted torch, and set fire to a chest of tea in his possession. The committee recommended entire non-intercourse with Parks; but the populace, thinking the committee too lenient, satisfied themselves by breaking the doors and windows of his dwelling. Tar and feathers were freely used in various places, and the town committees exercised supreme authority in all local matters having a relation to the great subject which engrossed the public mind. The "Isaac Keeper Page" See this: Isaac married Catherine McCardell, and two of their eventual eight children were born by the time of the outbreak of the revolution. Although not everyone wanted to revolt against England, the majority of the inhabitants of Western Maryland supported independence. As illustrating the feeling over the unjust duty imposed on tea imported from the mother country, it is interesting to know that on the 26th of November, the committee for the upper part of Frederick County met at Elizabethtown (now Hagerstown) and compelled John Parks to walk bareheaded and with torch in his hand and set fire to a chest of tea which he was accused of having imported, contrary to the non-importation resolutions of the colonies. Cites:History of Western Maryland, vol. II, Louis H. Everts publisher, 1882, p. 1189 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Parks-Gibson Tea Connection According to the Maryland Gazette of Dec 22, 1774: "...After a demand was made of the same, Mr. Parks offered a chest of tea, found on a certain Andrew Gibson's plantation, Cumberland County Pa., by the committee for that place, which tea he delivered was the same he promised to deliver. The Committee are sorry that they have great reason to believe and indeed with almost a certainty that the chest of tea was in Cumberland County at the time Parks said upon oath it was at Chesnut Bridge..." The populace thought the measures adopted by the committee were inadequate to the transgression and satisfied themselves by breaking Parks' doors and windows." 1781 John the Tea Merchant Baltimore MD Quinn, Dorothy Mackay.

He requests a Speedy Trial declaring his Innocence, I presume It will be easier to Carry him to Fredk where a Number Concernd are to be tried, than to pro- cure the attendance of the necessary Evidence here. The Person mention'd to Gen. Buchanan has been taken. He has a Certificate of having taken the Oath in Charles Cty... A Person of the Name of John Parks of Baltimore has been charged as a considerable Accomplice in the intended Insurrection at Frederick upon the oath of Philip Replogle (see below); he is now in Goal at Baltimore Town arrested on Suspicion and has petitioned for a speedy Trial. As your Commission is extended to all the Counties on the western Shore, and as it would be extremely inconvenient to have a special Court for him alone or his Trial delayed till the next general Court, we presume that you will order a Habeas Corpus to bring him before you at Frederick.

The sentence imposed upon these men was the dreadful penalty for treason under the common law of England and was at that time in force in Maryland. The sentence was that the men should be hung by their necks, cut down while alive and disembowled and their entrails burnt before their eyes, then their heads to be cut off and the bodies quartered (hung, drawn and quartered). Henry Shell was pardoned and was to enter himself on board of an English navy ship. From "The Church of the Singing Hills" by H.

Vicki ------- end the John Parks the Tea Merchant archive data ---------------------- Sarah Gibson's Book Sarah Gibson was born in 1844. She included some information on the Parks family who married into her Gibson family in the middle chapters of her Gibson genealogy Introduction here Book: here Begin in Chapter 5: SECTION V Andrew Gibson (son of the first Robert) was born about 1724, settled in Antrim Township, Franklin Co., PA, on the Maryland boundary line about five miles north from Hagarstown, MD., where he died March 1783. The executor of his Will was his wife Elizabeth. Her name before marriage was Elizabeth Carnes or Karns. Andrew Gibson served a tour of duty on the frontiers of Cumberland Co., during the Revolution (from manuscript archives of PA.) Their children were as follows: Margaret Gibson, born about 1750, married Parks. Thomas Gibson, born 1752, Capt of a Company of Cumberland Co., Militia, Jan. 1778, and was Col. of a battalion July 1778. John Gibson, born 1754, served as a private in Capt. James Poe's Com. July 1777, and in Capt McCoy's Com. Jan. 1778. Jean Gibson, born abt 1756, married Daniel Long. Elizabeth Gibson, born abt 1758, married James Sterling of Baltimore. There are records of land titles in Franklin Co., PA. George Gibson, 520 acres of land, Andrew Gibson, 203 acres of land, October 28, 1746. There were several other Gibson families at this time in Cumberland Co., but their records are very incomplete. John Carnes enters land in 1748, also Robert Armstrong and William Maxwell, Robert Richey, Hugh Martin, and John Martin and James Parks was Commission Clerk 1796 to 1799. -------- CHAPTER V I will now continue the account concerning our branch of the Gibsons, which was Andrew Gibson, second son of Robert Gibson, who came from Stewartstown, Ireland. Andrew was born in Ireland, but perhaps married in America. He and his wife were both Scotch-Irish, and there is a tradition that these Gibsons were from London, and went to Ireland in Queen Ann's reign. Andrew Gibson and his wife were members of the Associate, or Seceder Church. And there were churches of this belief at Greencastle, Mercersburg, and Chambersburg, in Franklin Co., PA. Of Andrew's daughters, Margaret Parks, and Jean Long, I have no farther record. Elizabeth, his youngest daughter, married James Sterling of Baltimore. He was a merchant from Scotland. He was a member of the Associate Church. He was an energetic business man. He built the first quay for ships landing in Baltimore. Before this, all ships had landed at Annapolis. James Sterling bought some marshy land, and drained it, and filled the marsh and made the finest landing in Baltimore. People at first laughed at him for his investment, "but they laugh who win", is the old proverb. Col. Thomas Gibson, Andrew's oldest son, lived in Baltimore and was in partnership with his brother-in-law James Sterling. Thomas never married, and was a very rich man at his death, and his brother John ought to have inherited some of his property, but John lived so far away in Tenn., so it was all kept by the Sterlings. John Gibson, second son of Andrew Gibson, and my great grandfather, married Martha Parks of Hagarstown, MD., in the year 1772. The genealogy of Martha Parks family is as follows: Elizabeth Knox, born before 1700, said to have been related to John Knox, married _____ Alexander. Their daughter, Jean Alexander, married 1st, _____ Morrow. Their children as follows: Thomas Morrow. Elizabeth Morrow. Mrs. Jean (Alexander) Morrow, married 2nd, James Parks. Their children as follows: James Parks. Margaret Parks. Martha Parks, born 1753, in County Down, Ulster Province, in the north of Ireland. James Parks, and his family, came to America about 1760, and lived in or near Baltimore. Thomas Morrow married and had children, and one daughter married Andrews. The Andrews lived near Nashville, Tenn. They had a large family of children. Their daughter, Nancy, married Rev. Robert Armstrong. Of them, we will have a more extended account in the future. Her brother, Hugh Andrews, was one of the earliest settlers of Green Co., Ohio. About the time the Parks came to Baltimore, there were about 25 houses, only four of which were of brick. The others perhaps were of logs, of every primitive structure. James Parks had a store in Baltimore, and about 1770, he sent his son, James Parks, Jr., to open a store in Hagarstown, MD, and his sister, Martha Parks, went with him to keep house for him. She had a colored woman to help with the work. James Parks was a royalist.Already trouble had commenced in the Colonies. The Colonists refused to be taxed so unjustly by England, and the Colonists were not allowed to have any representation in the English Parliament. The Colonists were not allowed to manufacture anything in America. But they were obliged to buy everything from England. Beaver skins were caught in America, and sent to England to be made into hats, and then the Colonists had to by the hats. There was a sever punishment for any man who dared to manufacture a beaver hat for himself, and there were many other articles in this same class. Window glass was another article that was taxed. The Colonists said they would not buy, but that they would do without these articles, and the Colonists formed companies of mounted militia to scour the country to enforce this rule, that the Colonists should not buy these things, and stores were entered, and if any of the condemned articles were found, they were destroyed by the soldiers militia. John Gibson, son of Andrew, belonged to one of these Continental militia. One day they rode into Hagarstown. They entered James Parks store, there they found some beaver hats that had been manufactured in England. The militia took the hats out into the street and made a bonfire of them. Naturally, James Parks would hate all of the Continental militia after the destruction of his fine English beaver hats. James Parks invited some of his Baltimore friends to visit him at Hagarstown. In those days, they traveled on horse-back, and carried their clothes in saddle bags. Saddle bags were made of leather, about 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 yards long and about half a yard wide. They were sewed down one side, and around both ends, and the other side one third, in the middle was left open, to put in what the owner wished to carry. Then it was strapped together, with a leather strap passed back and forth through slits cut in the edges of the saddle bags. It was thrown across the horse and fastened with straps to the saddle. In these they carried their money and their clothes, and often some corn for their horse. I have a pair in my possession now. James Parks had bought for his sister, a fine English chintz dress, and the skirt was cut with gores and a train. In her hurry in waiting on her brother's guests, she switched her train, over a pile of delft china plates, that stood on a stone bench in the kitchen, and the plates were all broken in pieces. She was dreadfully frightened for she was afraid her brother would be very angry with her for her accident. So she went into the cellar, where her brother had his dishes stored, and got another set of plates exactly like the broken set, and she carried the broken dishes out and buried them under the currant bushes, and her brother never found out about the broken plates. John Gibson soon became acquainted with Martha Parks, for his home in Antrim Township, Franklin Co., PA., was about ten miles from Hagarstown. But James Parks did not approve of Continental militia and he forbade Martha having anything to do with such rascals. But Martha was for the cause of the Colonists, and she had her own riding horse, and she and John Gibson often met without her brother knowing of it. They were married in Maryland in 1773. They lived in Chambersburg, and also on Andrew Gibson's farm in Antrim Township, I have heard. Their children are as follows: Thomas Gibson, born July 31, 1774, in Chambersburg. Margaret Gibson, born March 26, 1776, in Chambersburg. Andrew Jackson Gibson, born Feb. 16, 1778, in Chambersburg. William Gibson, born July 31, 1781, in Chambersburg. John Gibson, born March 18, 1785, in Chambersburg. James Parks Gibson, born Nov. 18, 1793, in Blount Co., Tenn. George Gibson, born Sept. 19, 1798. This record I copied from great grandfather John Gibson's Bible bought in Blount Co., Tenn., in the year Feb. 23, 1804. This Bible, he gave to his son, John Gibson, and John Gibson gave it to his oldest son, Cyrus Gibson, or it became his after his mother's death. There is a tradition in the family that Martha and John Gibson had two or three children, that met with an accidental death. One was lost in the woods of Tenn, and one fell on a pair of scissors. But their names were not written in this old Bible of John Gibson's. I have heard that their names were, Samuel, Othniel, and Robert. In Chapter 6 we get MORE daughters married: I believe the family changed the spelling of their name in Tenn., for my grandmother Gibson always said her name had been Hogg, and she would never own the name of Hogue, and in my reading of the American Archived, I often found the name Hogg, but never saw the name Hogue. The Hogg's came from the north of Ireland, but in what year I do not know. They settled in Virginia near to Alexandria, and the creek of Bulls Run ran through their farm. James Hogg married Margaret Parks of Baltimore, Md. She was a sister of James Parks, Jr., of Hagarstown, and sister of Martha Parks, who married John Gibson of Antrim Township, Franklin Co., PA. James Hogg was a farmer and a raiser of fine stock, and he and his wife were members of the Associate or Seceder Church. The following is from the American Archives. "Before the Revolution, George Washington and Peter Hogg, both took up land in Augusta Co., VA. Washington had 5,000 acres, and Peter Hougg had 2,100 acres of land, and one of the Hogg brothers and some other white men were killed on the head waters of the Kanawha River. A James Hogg took up land in Greenbrier Co., VA." My grandmother, Martha Hogue was born in Greenbrier Co., VA, Oct. 31, 1774. In what year her father moved there I have not been able to find out. During the Revolution, the Indians encouraged by the British and helped with arms, committed cruel depredations on the distant frontiers, and many had to give up their farms and return to the settlement. And nothing remained in a few years to show that the white man had been there. The cabins were burned to the ground, and the clearings made by the settlers were grown up with brush. The children of James Hogg and Margaret Parks, his wife, are as follows: John Hogg, married in Va. Samuel Hogg, married in Blount Co., Tenn. Martha Hogg, born Oct 31, 1774, in Greenbrier Co., West VA., and married Thomas Gibson, son of John Gibson, of Lexington, VA Esther Hogg, married _____ Maxwell in Blount Co., Tenn. George Hogg, married Margaret McCartney, Tenn. Jean Hogg, married 1st, William Neally in Tenn., and 2nd, George Sloan in Tenn. Sarah Hogg, married _____ Ritchey, related to Thomas Gibson. Seceders Church from Sarah's Book: CHAPTER VII Before the war of the Revolution, several families, and individuals, who had belonged to the Associate or Seceder Church, both in Scotland, and Ireland, emigrated to what afterwards became the State of Tennessee. They settled at Nashville, and about twenty miles south of Knoxville in east Tennessee, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. It is in Knox County, north of Blount County, and near the Holstein River, which is the boundary line between the two counties. About the year 1782, The Presbytery of the Associate Church of Pennsylvania, received a petition from these two places, Nashville and Knoxville, praying for preachers to be sent to them. But it was impossible for the Presbytery to grant this petition, for the ministers had to be sent from Scotland, for there was not at that time any place in America for the theological education of the ministers of the Associate Church. And it was difficult to obtain ministers for the Associate Church of the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina, where there were the greatest numbers of the Associate Churches. And there were a few churches in some of the New England States. But these people continued steadfast in their faith, and often renewed their petitions for a preacher of the Gospel. It was 16 years before they received their first ministerial visit. Between 1790 and 1792, John Gibson, and all of his children, and James Hogg, and all of his children moved to Blount County, Tennessee. I do not know if other families went with them, but it was always desirable to have a large colony in those early days, to form new settlements in new States. Their journeys were long and weary, some through the wilderness infested with wild animals, and the more terrible Indians. Our ancestors were always interested in having churches and schools, where ever they lived. And were educated, well informed people, as the times and their surroundings would afford. They journeyed down the Shenandoah Valley, between the mountains, following the streams and rivers, for then they were the main highways of the Colonies. And along the rivers were the most settlements. And the rivers afforded a supply of water for their stock, and for themselves. And the soil of the bottom land is the richest and the most productive. --------------end of Sarah Gibson's book------------------------------------------- Missing Link - John Parks of York County, PA - LK=OQ by Jean Churchill PS#934 Librarian The following report was compiled in September, 2003. The Lineage Key is OQ. This manuscript was put together from materials submitted by Richard Martens, PS#1242. Strong documentation links this John Parks lineage to the Andrew Gibson lineage. The geographic locations are Cumberland County and York County PA; Frederick Co, MD; Greene Co, OH; and White Co, IN. They were members of the Old Presbyterian Church known as Seceders, and also later joined the Church of God, known as the New Dunkard. John Parks was born about 1715, possibly in Ulster County, Ireland. He died about August, 1777 in Warrington Township, York County, PA. John married (1) Jane/Jean Alexander Morrow (widow), born about 1715, and thought to be the daughter of [?] Alexander and Elizabeth Knox. John married (2) Mary [?]. It is not clear who the children's mother is. John Parks made his will March 15, 1777. He mentions his wife, Mary Parks; his son Robert Parks; his daughter Margaret, wife of James Hoge; his son John Parks; his daughter Jane, wife of William Morrow; his daughter Mary Parks; his daughter Martha, wife of John Gibson; and his friend Adam Richey.

Mer. 80 in the Aftern. & 74 at Night. In the Afternoon Mr. & Mrs. Parks of Fredericksbg. came here." Authors note: Mr. and Mrs. Parks were Andrew Parks, a merchant in Fredericksburg, and his wife, Harriot Washington Parks (1776--1822), youngest child of GW's brother Samuel Washington and his fourth wife Anne Steptoe Allerton Washington. When the topic of their marriage arose in 1796, GW, acting in place of Harriot's deceased father, assured Parks that if he were "a gentleman of respectable connexions; and of good dispositions," and able to support her decently, he would assent to the marriage, declaring: "my wish is to see my niece happy" (GW to Parks, 7 April 1796, DLC:GW; Betty Washington Lewis to GW, 27 Mar. 1796, ViMtV). GW sent his niece "a great deal of good advice which," Harriot replied, "I am extremely obliged to you for." The wedding took place in July 1796 (Harriot Washington Parks to GW, 17 July 1796, DLC:GW). There are letters between Andrew Parks and George Washington 17906-1798 see: this and Enter "Andrew Parks" see:this for an excellent discussion of George Washington's correspondence with Andrew Parks. Nineteen year old Harriet Washington is sent to Fredericksburg and falls in love with Andrew Parks. Andrew writes to President Washington asking for the hand of his niece Harriet: Sir Fredericksburg 1st April 1796 Although entirely unknown to you, circumstances relative to your Niece Miss Harriot Washington and myself, makes it necessary for me to trouble you with a Letter, and to give you intimation of what has occur'd between us; I have made my addresses to her and she has refered me to you, whose consent I am to acquire, or her objections to a Union with me are I am assur'd insuperable, having therefore no hope of possessing her, unless I should be so fortunate as to obtain your assent, and as my happiness measurably depends upon your determination, I shall endeavour by stating to you my situation and prospects in Life, to merit and induce your approbation, yet they are such as I fear will not much conduce to your favourable decission; I have lived in Fredericksburg for more than three years. My connexions generally reside in Baltimore, and are mostly rich. I am engaged here in the Mercantile Business and concerned therein with my Brother-in-Law, Mr. McElderry of Baltimore.(see McElderry data below) My fortune at present does not much exceed three thousand pounds, but with industry and economy, I have every expectation of rapidly improving my condition in that respect. To enter into a detail of my family, I suppose would be unnecessary, however I shall be in Baltimore a few weeks hence, and if in the interim, you should propose no objection of me, I will take the liberty of writing to you again and give you a more particular account of myself and friends, when it is probable my pecuniary situation may be meliorated The inclosed Letter from Mrs Lewis, who I solicited to write and say something to you concerning me. I am Sir with infinite respect Yr most Obt Humle Serv. Andrew Parks From George Washington to Andrew Parks, 7 April 1796 Philadelphia 7th April 1796 Sir your letter of the first instt has been duly received. The subject on which it is written is a serious one, and it shall meet, as it deserves, a serious consideration. My neice Harriot Washington having very little fortune of her own, neither she, nor her friends, have a right to make that (however desirable it might be) a primary consideration in a matrimonial connexion. But there are other requisites which are equally desirable, and which ought to be attended to in a union of so much importance; without therefore expressing at this moment, either assent, or dissent, to the proposal you have made, it is necessary for me to pause. My wish is to see my niece happy; one step towards which is, for her to be united with a gentleman of respectable connexions, and of good dispositions; with one who is more in the habit (by fair and honorable pursuits) of making, than in spending money—and who can support her in the way she has always lived. As you propose being in Baltimore in the course of a few weeks—I shall not object to the receipt of any further details on this subject, which you may be disposed to give from that place: which, when received, may enable me to write more decisively frome hence, or from virginia when I get there—which will happen, I expect, as soon as Congress shall have closed its session. I am sir your very Hble servt From George Washington to Betty Washington Lewis, 7 April 1796 My dear Sister, Philadelphia 7th April 1796. Your letter of the 27th Ulto was enclosed to me by Mr Parks, in one from himself, dated the 1st insttt on the same subject. Harriot having very little fortune herself, has no right to expect a great one in the man she marry's; but if he has not a competency to support her in the way she has lived, in the circle of her friends, she will not find the matrimonial state so comfortable as she may have expected when a family is looking up to her & but scanty means to support it. Altho' she has no right to expect a man of fortune, she certainly has just pretensions to expect one whose connexions are respectable, & whose relations she could have no objection to associate with. How far this is, or is not the case with Mr Parks, I know not for neither his own letter, or yours give any acct of his family nor whether he is a native or a foreigner—& we have his own word only for his possessing any property at all altho' he estimates his fortune at £3000. A precarious dependance this when applied to a man in Trade. I do not wish to thwart Harriots inclination if her affectns are placed on Mr Park and if upon the enquiries I shall mak[e] or cause to be made into his family & connexions, there shall be found nothing exceptionable in them; that he is, as you say "very much respected by all his acquaintance, sober, sedate, & attentive to business;" and is moreover in good business; I shall throw no impedimts in the way of their Marriage, altho' I should have preferred, if a good match had not offer'd in the meanwhile that she sh'd have remained single until I was once more settled at Mt Vernon & she a resident there which, if life is spared to us, will certainly happen to me in ten or eleven months—because then she would have been in the way of seeing much company, and would have had a much fairer prospect of matching respectably than with one who is little known—and of whose circumstances few or none can know much about. Having had no business to write to you upon—and being very much occupied by my public duties, are the only reasons why I have been silent. I am persuaded you will enjoy more ease & quiet, & meet with fewer vexations where you now are, than where you did live—It is my sincere wish that you should do so and that your days may be happy—in these Mrs Washington joins with Your most Affecte Brother G. Washington From George Washington to George Washington Lewis, 7 April 1796 Philadelphia 7th April 1796 Dear Sir Tuesday's Post brought me a letter from a Mr Andrew Parks of Fredericksburgh, covering one from your mother; both on the subject of overtures of marriage made by the former to your cousin Harriot Washington: which, it seems, depend upon my consent for consummatn. My sister speaks of Mr Parks as a sober, discreet man; and one who is attentive to business. Mr Parks says of himself, that his "fortune at present, does not much exceed £3000, but with industry & œconomy, he has every expectation of rapidly improving his condition" being concerned with his brother in law Mr McElderry of Baltimore, in Mercantil[e] business. As I am an entire stranger to Mr Parks; to his family connexions, or his connexions in trade; to his mode of living; his habits—and to his prospects in trade; I should be glad if you wd ascertain them with as much precision as you can, and write me with as little delay as you can well avoid. Harriot having little or no fortune of her own, has no right to expect a great one in the man she marrys: but it is desirable that she should marry a gentleman; one who is well connected, and can support her decently, in the line she has always moved, otherwise she would not find matrimony with a large family & little means, so eligable as she may have conceived it to be. I am your sincere friend and Affectionate Uncle Go: Washington This letter will be accompanied by one to my Sister which I pray you to receive from the Post Office and send to her. Sir Baltimore 30th April 1796 I have had the honour to receive your Letter of the 7th Instt, and pursuant thereto, I have communicated within a few days, that I have been here; the Subject, to my friend Mr Mc Elderry, on which I am so materially interested, for your approbation; he has written to the Secretary at War, and given him an oppinion of me, of which, I presume you have, or will, be advertisd. Mr Mc Elderry, has relinquished his part of the concern, in the business, I have been pursuing, which I shall conduct hereafter on my own Acct, and with industry; and his friendship, I suspect will be attended with considerable advantages; this is the only amendment in my prospects, I have it in my power to acquaint You with. I hope I possess most of the requisites, necessary to make your Niece, happy I have been for several Years, accustom'ed to Business, which has,, I am persuaded, kept me clear of a temper, for vicious dispositions; my connexions, are respectable generally, inasmuch as they are people of Business, and mostly in good circumstances. I have described to your Niece, as nearly as I could, what my Situation would afford, in the style of living; which wd not be more than genteel, and comfortable, this she sais, will perfectly satisfy her, and render her happy, provided you can think it sufficient. I am Sir with infinite respect Yr very Hbe Sert Andrew Parks To George Washington from Betty Washington Lewis, 26 June 1796 June 26th 1796 My Dear Brother Your letter of the 27th of April I receiv'd and should have answerd it sooner but expecting you in dayly postpon'd writing untill you arriv'd at Mount Vernon, not hearing from you again on Harriots subject, I have been makeing all the enquirey I Could concerning Mr Parks that was in my power I have heard nothing to his disadvantage on the contrary he is respected by all his acquaintance he is A Constant Visitor here and I believe Harriots Affections are plac'd intirely on him, and engag'd so far as this if your consent can be obtaind. Harriot begs you will pardon her not writing her self but hopes your being fully acquainted with her Sentiments Concerning Mr Parks will be some apology she is not well I believe her anxiety for fear of offending and not gaining your consent has Produc'd this, your long Silence has given her much uneasiness. My Dear Brother if you have any Mules for Sale and Can let me have One I will with pleasure pay you the Price of it I am under the necessity of purchaiseing A Work Nag and prefer A Mule. Harriot Joines me in love and good Wishes for You and my Sister Washington and beleive me to be Your Affectte Sister Betty Lewis On the same day, Washington wrote his sister saying he would throw no impediment in the way of their Marriage but he wished Harriot would wait. He had hoped she would make a better connexion. To accomplish this, he felt she would have plenty of opportunities when he came back home to retire. She could come up to Mount Vernon and meet a host of eligible young men for example, the son of the Marquis de Lafayette, who was then staying there. Since there was no F.B.I, or Price Waterhouse in those days to check the credentials of Andrew Parks, Washington asked some friends in Fredericksburg to look into the young man's background. He particularly wanted to know whether Parks was a native or a foreigner, and how substantial his business was. Nothing derogatory was turned up. Andrew came from a respectable middle-class family in Baltimore, and his inventory, though not enormous, was not shoddy. So the couple announced their plans, and Washington sent Harriot a present of money for her trousseau. The couple were married in July, and Harriot quickly reported to Washington: To George Washington from Betty Washington Lewis, 5 July 1796 My Dear Brother July 5th, 1796. I receiv'd your Letters of 26th and 29th of June, the day after I wrote to you I was attack with the ague and fever which has lasted ever since I had never been clear of a fever since, I Expected your comeing threw Baltemore that you would ascertain Mr. Parkes fortune thoe I believe he would not tell anything fals on the Occation, Harriot's Brother Wrote her a letter from Baltemore and likewise one to Mr. Parks congratulateing them on there Intended Union which he sayes he makes no dout will be a very happy one, Lawrence was here at the time that Mr. Parks firs spoke to Harriot on the subject and I beg'd of him to make all the inquire he could but never hard from him untill the letter I have mention'd here and concluded from that he had Inquired and was well Pleas'd, when Mr. Parks ask'd my consent I told him I had nothing to say to it that you ware the Person to be appli'd to, I have never concern'd myself with it I think Harriot is Old Enougf now to make choice for her self, and if they are not happy I believe it will be her one falt, he bars the Best caracter of any young Person that I know. I now my Dear Brother have to thank you for your good intention of sending me a mule if you had any to spear, but had no write to Expect you to Disfirnish your self. I am mutch obliged to you for your invitasion to Mount Vernon but it is utterly out of my Power to get up, I believe I wrote to you last fall that I had but two old Horses and in Tenn word left out from that my stable was broken open and the best of them carri'd of and from that day to this I have not har'd a word of him that was the forth charriot Hors that I lost in Fredericks you may Believe I had no great Parsiallity for the Place, Harriot is Better and is gone to the forth of July in Town but I think she looks badly. My Love to you and my Sister Washington concludes me your Affectionate sister Betty Lewis. P.S.—I fear you will hardly make out this as I have a violent Headake and a horrid caugh—I believe Harriot is distressed to know how she is to be Provided with things for a Weding Dress. To George Washington from Harriot Washington, 17 July 1796 Mill Brook July 17-96 Aunt Lewis received a letter from my dear & Honored Uncle a few days ago wherein he was pleased to send me thirty pound also a great deal of good advice which I am extremely obliged to you for and intend adhering most strictly to it. Believe me, my dear Uncle, my heart will ever with the liveliest gratitude most gratefully acknowledge and remember yours and Aunt Washington's great goodness and attention to me and if my Uncle will only answer my letter and say he is not offended at my Union (which took place yesterday, Aunt Lewis's going immediately to Berkley to stay untill the fall &: finding it not convenient to carry me with her wished us married before she went), I shall be happy for after my dear Uncle's protection & kindness towards me I should be a most miserable being to reflect that I had displeas'd my greatest friend. I shall take the liberty of troubleing my Uncle to return my thanks to Aunt Washington for the earings she sent me from Philadelphia which I received but a week ago from Berkley. Aunt Lewis is much mended 8c intends answering your letter by the next post. Aunt Lewis joins me in love to you and Aunt Washington. I am my dear and Honor'd Uncle Your affectionate neice Harriot Parks After their marriage Andrew and Harriet visited George Washington. On September 4 and 8 1798 George Washington made the following entries in his diary: 4. Morng. Cloudy--Mer. at 69. Clear afterwards. Mer. 80 in the Aftern. & 74 at Night. In the Afternoon Mr. & Mrs. Parks of Fredericksbg. came here.

Jany. 1824 Dear Sir, While John Payne Todd Esqr. was at the French Seminary at Baltimore, he contracted an account with me in the Store I Kept there at the time. Soon after the articles were had, I left Balte., and moved to the Western Country—Since which time, I have not had the pleasure to hear from Mr. Todd. I have herewith taken the liberty to inclose you the account, with a request, if it should not materially interfere with your convenience, to have it adjusted for me with Mr. Todd; who I am persuaded will recognize the items of the account, and pay me though it has been of so long standing. Permit me to ask the favour of you to write me on the subject of the a/c, and direct to me at the Kanawha Saline Post office. With sincere regards to Mrs. Madison I am Dear Sir very respectfully Yr. Obt. Servt. Andw Parks Andrew Parks to James Madison, 1 November 1826 Burning Spring 1st. Novr. 1826 Dear Sir, I have been for some time expecting to get a letter from Mr. J. P. Todd, on the subject of my little a/c against him, a copy of which I sent you. Since your letter to me; I met with Mr. Jno. Payne in Clarksburg, he stated that until you recd. my letter, you supposed Mr. Todd had been furnished with what clothes he wanted from the French Seminary. As it respects Mr. Todd, I think this was not the case; Mrs. Madison wrote to my wife, and requested her to pay attentions to her son, and see that he was supplied with such things as he stood in need of. For some time Mr. Todd was in the habit of buying such articles as he wanted out of my Store, and when he recd. money from Washington, he always Paid me. I am therefore under the persuasion, that he got scarcely any clothes from the Priests, except the Uniform of the Seminary. I left Balte. very soon after Mr. Todd got the articles in the a/c I sent you, which leads me to conclude is the reason the a/c was not paid by him as it was usual with him to do, upon his getting money from Washington. If Mr. Todd would do me the favor to send me the amt. of the a/c, it would be a very great accomodation to me, in my present circumstances. I regret to be, the occasion of giving you so much trouble about this matter—Be pleased to excuse it, for I assure you, were it not that I am in a straight for money, I should not think of plagueing you with the subject of an old a/c. With respects to Mrs. Madison I am Dr Sir very respectfully yr obt. Servt.

Huntington: "...In 1897 he gave to the Metropolitan Museum of Art a portrait of George Washington, painted by Charles Wilson Peale..."" See this this: Andrew Parks gets "Fort Necessity" in 1805 "The site of this renowned fort is well known. Its ruins are yet, (1858), visible. It stands on Great Meadow run, which empties into the Youghiogheny. The "Great Meadows," with which its name associates in history, was a large natural meadow or glade, now highly cultivated and improved. The place is now better known by the name of "Mount Washington,"on the National Road, ten miles east of Uniontown, Fayette county, the old fort being about three hundred years southward of the brick mansion or tavern house. In by-gone days thousands of travelers have stopped here, or rushed by, without a thought of its being or history; while a few have thrown a reverential glance upon the classic spot. Washington in all his after life, seems to have loved the place. As early as 1769 he acquired from Virginia a pre-emption right to the tract of land (234) acres, which includes the fort; the title to which was afterwards confirmed to him by Pennsylvania. It is referred to in his last will, and he owned it at his death. His executors sold it to Andrew Parks of Baltimore, whose wife, Harriet, was a relative and legatee "of the General. She sold it to the late General Thomas Mason, who sold it to Joseph Huston, as whose property it was bought at sheriff's sale by Judge Ewing, who sold it to the late James Sampey, Esq., whose heirs have recently sold it to a Mr. Facenbaker. An ineffectual effort was made some years ago to erect a monument upon the site. The first battle ground of Washington surely deserves a worthier mark of commemoration than mouldering embankments surmounted by a few decaying bushes."

This John Creed's father was Captain William Creed (1739-1809) [See this interesting on Capt William Creed [A short biography of his son John also appears in the story]. Margaret Smith was the daughter of Benjamin Smith (1761-1812 Lancaster OH) and ELizabeth Cravens (bc 1762 Rockingham VA-1837 Lancaster). Benjamin's father was Captain Daniel Smith of Rockingham VA This says: "Daniel Smith, husband of Jane Harrison, was indeed a Captain in the Augusta County Militia as of 1776....By 1776 Daniel Smith had obtained the rank of Captain in the Augusta County Militia and, in 1778, was a presiding justice for the newly formed Rockingham County court. The first sessions of the new Rockingham County Court were held in Daniel's home. By 1781 Daniel Smith had been promoted to the rank of Colonel of the militia, but he did not hold the post long. When the local troops returned from Yorktown in the fall of 1781, Colonel Daniel Smith was thrown from his horse and injured during the "Grand Review" held in Rockingham County to celebrate the victory. He died shortly thereafter from his injuries. He had lived in "Smithland", which was located just two miles below Harrisonburg in Rockingham County." Also see this See this Smith family history This). Margaret Smith (1792-1823) was the daughter of Benjamin Harrison Smith (1761 Augusta VA - 1818 OH) and Elizabeth Cravens. This Benjamin Smith was educated at University of Ohio (as was Maj. Andrew Parks). Margret Creed Parks two sons (Creed and Bushrod Washington Parks) were captured during the Civil War (battle of Cold Harbor, 1864). While being transfered from Point Lookout MD to Elmira NY, Creed was killed in the "Great Shohola Train Wreck" -- Bushrod survived. Mary Davis Parks is Bushrod's wife. Theordore Talmadge is here brother-in-law who married her sister Harriet. With two of her sons in Federal Prison, she visits Abraham Lincoln and this note survives: See this (Creed's name is on the monument) and this on The Shohola Train wreck. Creed Parkswas killed and Bushrod Parks was injured. From the Collected works of Abraham Lincoln, VII, pg 406. See this   "Allow this lady, Mrs. ? Parks ? , with her friend, Mr. Tallmadge, to see her two sons, prisoners of war at Point Lookout. June 24, 1864. A. LINCOLN."   Annotation [1] Leslie J. Perry, ``Appeals to Lincoln's Clemency,'' The Century Magazine, LI (December, 1895), 254. Mrs. M. Davis ? Parks ? wrote Lincoln from Charleston, South Carolina, August 22, 1864, that her older son had since died while being removed from Point Lookout to Elmira Prison, and that her younger son, Bushrod Washington ? Parks should be released: ``Not only in my own name, but in that of Washington I make my request, as the Grand-son of Harriet Washington the much loved niece and adopted daughter of the great Patriot . . . I feel he should have the consideration of the representative of the people of this union. . . .'' (DLC- RTL). This annotation is incorrect. Mrs. Parks wrote from Charleston, West Virginia NOT South Carolina. The letter (Aug 22) referred to is an abstract. Here is the actual contents of the letter:   From M. Davis Parks to Abraham Lincoln, August 22, 1864 Charleston, Aug 22nd, 1864.   Respected Sir   Under any circumstances but the existing one, I should feel that it was an unpardonable importunity, again to trouble you, after the very great kindness, so generously extended when I was in Washington.   After receiving permission from your hands to see my children, I immediately proceeded to Camp Lookout,1 found them very comfortable, and received from them, a declaration, that they would reject an offer of exchange,   Being Northern myself by birth, and my children's family having bestowed the government of the United States upon the people, I could not feel it would detract in the least from thier position, to acknowledge thier allegiance,   I returned returned home to Virginia happy under the illusion, that my Northern friends would make every effort to have them released,   But my happy home, and heart, was soon doomed to be darkened with sorrow; God in his wisdom saw fit, to remove my eldest son whilst being removed from Camp Lookout to Elmira Prison2, he lived but a few hours after the collision, the younger child had his arm broken and contusion of the breast.   It is for my younger, I now make my appeal; As Hagar was directed to the hidden spring in prayer; so am I directed to you.   I ask for the release and restoration of my child, in the name of the Great-God who reigns o'er us all, and as you hope, and ask for mercy and happiness in your own household, so dispense it unto mine   If you reject me, God may see fit to soften your heart, by opening upon you, an unknown sorrow, within your own home.   You say he has erred, do you cease to remember, that both publickly and privately your prayers are rising as incense before the throne of God, asking and receiving pardon for your manifold sins.   Should you see fit to reject me and my orphan, I shall still have the consolation that my heavenly Father directs all things aright; and he has promised to protect the Widow, and be a Father to the Orphan.   Not only in my own name, but in that of Washington I make my request, as the Grand-son of Harriet Washington the much loved niece and adopted daughter of the great Patriot therefore the same blood flowing in his vains. I feel he should have the consideration of the representative of the people of this union.   His extreme youth and surroundings, are sufficient apolagy for his derelictions.   Should you grant my request, my prayer morning, noon, and night, shall be, that the gentle blessings of heaven, may descend upon your wife and children, and to yourself:   May those favors so graciously bestowed upon others, be returned unto you ten fold.   With very great regard.   M. Davis. Parks.   P. S In case you regard with compassion my request, I enclose my son's address.   Bushrod, Washington, Parks. Ward 14. Barracks 3. Prisoner's Camp. Elmira. N.

Place of residence Cincinnati OH Complexion Fair hair light eyes hazel height 5'10" Brothers Creed and Bushrod Parks were both captured the battle of Cold Harbor, VA June 3 1864. They were in the 22nd Virginia Infantry Regiment, "1st Kanawha Regiment" commanded by Col. George S. PAtton (grandfather of World War II general George S Patton). At Cold Harbor, the 22nd VA was part of Echol's brigade of Breckenridge's Division. (22nd VA Regiment, 23rd VA Battalion, 26th VA Battalion). See this map. You will notice "Patton" on the map next to the 22nd VA. The Union lines broke the confederate line at the space between the 26th and 22nd VA units (the blue arrow crosses the red confederate line). This was done by Brooke's 4th Brigade of Barlow's First Division of Winfield' Scott's II Corps (7 NY Heavy Artillery, 148 PA, 53 PA, 2 DE, 64 NY, 66 NY). This occurred east of the McGhee House. See this photo; this photo; and this photo of Elimira Prison where Bushrod Washington Parks spent a year in prison (June 1864 - June 1865). This says Bushrod b 1846 died 1940 married Mary Davis.

Davis 1817 - John F Davis wife has been identified as "Polly Huffaker". See for example this and this and this where the kids are correct but the husband is James Davis NOT John Davis (compare these trees with the census data) There is a Lewis Huffaker in McMinn TN in 1830 (see census above). He has a Land patent in Lawrence Missouri in 1853. In 1850 he is in Lawrence MO census (age 62, b. TN 1888). Lawrence County MO is adjacent to Newton County MO where John F Davis resides in 1860. This says Lewis' wife was Susan Caudle or Cadle. This version says it is Susan Caddel and she died in 1850 in Lawrence Mo. This tree says: "According to family oral history, Bushrod became a pony express rider." [This is from the Lowe/Eskew Family Tree on Ancestry.com. The connection between this family is the marriage of Margret Creed Parks (1893-1973) to Robert William Lowe. Margaret Creed Parks was the daughter of Andrew J Parks (1852-1928) brother of Bushrod Washington Parks.] Bushrod's data is VERY limited. It is common to find his death date as 1940 -- but it is often recorded as in Neshoho, Missouri (Newton County). We will refute this data below. I found a death record for "Washington B. Parks" in Rock Island County, Illinois March 21 1940 in the Illinois Death Index -- likely the source for this death date often seen on web records for Bushrod and then this at LDS: Washington B.

For "Washington B.", the parent birthplaces listed on the census data match "VA" and "OH" -- and in one case correctly "West Virginia" (son Ross on the 1930 census). His age and birthplace are approximately correct. 2. Age and name of Mary E Davis in Newton Missouri in 1870 match the Illinois data, and partially her parent's birthplace 3.

Charles T Dial 1887 (IL marriage index says "Charles Deal" Christian County 8/2/1887) Mary's parents are William Wesley Turner and wife Elizabeth Carpenter. The father (William W Turner) died in Fayette IL in 1898. His wife Elizabeth then remarries John H. B. Smith in 1901: "John H. B. Smith b 1832 IN-1915 Fayette IL m Elizabeth Turner (maiden name Carpenter) in Effingham IL 1/29/1901" from Illinois Marriage Archive". This shows "J.H. Smith's wife Elizabeth">This says buried in Haley Chapel cemetery, Vandalia, Fayette County IL -- no dates This is the source of the error above. Below the 1900 Loudon IL census shows Charles T. Dial and wife Mary E and "mother-in-law" Elizabeth Turner. Mary E. (Turner) Dial dies in 1907 and her children (Iva Jane and Eva Mae move in with their grandmother -- the widowed Elizabeth Turner. There is a death certificate for Elizabeth Smith in Altamont Effingham IL dated 7/7/1923? At the LDS there is an Ohio Birth for Mary "Tarner" of William W. "Tarner" and "Elizabeth Tarner" in Killbuck, Holmes County OH 13 July 1869). Holmes County is adjacent to both Coshocton and Muskingum where William appears on censuses. It appears that based on this birthplace for Elizabeth,and the censuses below that Elizabeth's father is Isaac Carpenter (1827-1899 Holmes OH). This rootsweb.com entry says: Isaac Carpenter b May 5 1827 in Ohio This says he was married three times: 1. Mary McDowell on Dec 20 1849 2. Elizabeth Fischer on March 24 1855 3. Celestia Neal on Nov 5 1870 The 1850 census (below) shows wife Isaac's wife as Mary and the 1860 census (below) shows wife as Elizabeth. So these multiple marriages seem correct. Thus Elizabeth Carpenter who married William W. Turner mother is Mary McDowell and her father is Isaac Carpenter. This says Mary McDowell's father is: James McDowell m. Elizabeth Patterson in Washington County PA (Mary's 1850 birthplace is listed as "Penn". Elizabeth Patterson (1795 Washington PA - 1864 Coshocton OH) was the daughter of John Patterson (1760 PA-1837 Washington PA) and Mary Caldwell (1776 Cumberland PA-1858 Cochocton OH).

IRE (ANTRIM) Mother: Margaret Marriage 1 Elizabeth Parks b: 1770 in Hagarstown, MD From The Architecture of Baltimore: an Illustrated History by Mary Ellen Hayward and Frank R. Shivers, page 56: "In Baltimore the first grand rows were built by enterprising merchants who sought people like themselves as tenants. In 1796 two prominent flour merchants Cumberland Duggan and Thomas McElderry erected expensive and impressive three and a half story rows facing each other on their respective, neighboring wharves which extended some sixteen hundred feet into the harbor. With London's Adelphi Terrace as a model the leased commercial space at the wharf level and rented commodius living quarters above. The group of houses merited enough attention to be included as one of the two architectural details found on Warner and Hannah's contemporary (1801) map of the city" These two projects are named in The Baltimore Rowhouse by Mary Ellen Hayward and Charles Belfoure as: "...wharves extending south from Market Place (the site of Centre Market and the commercial hub of the town)...Dugan and McElderyy also built fancy mixed use rows just north of the wharves on either side of Market Place. "St.Patrick's Row" McElderry's project, was occupied initially by a ships chandler, merchants, a cabinet maker, and a gentelwoman In the "Papers of the War Department 1784-1800" Date April 11, 1796 Author Name: Thomas McElderry (primary) Location: Baltimore Recipient Name: James McHenry (primary) Location: Philadelphia Summary: Appears to be vouching for the character of a young man [Mr. Parks?] McElderry took under his instruction and protection after the man's father fell on hard times; believes the young man to now be a good businessman and a good potential husband, compared to many [other?] young Virginia gentlemen who have large estates and many slaves. The man has been practicing business [perhaps opening a store] in Fredericksburg, VA, since 1792; admits that a precise assessment of the man's net worth cannot be made at present. The vouching for character seems to be in regard to a proposed matchmaking. Mentions acquaintances, including one who is discriminated against for being Irish. [What any of this has to do with McHenry, or his office as Secretary of War, is unclear].

The descendants of this early Maryland Family DO NOT MATCH the Parks' on this page.
See David Parks b 1742 (here) who is identified as Park/e/s Society Lineage Key "XP" and is NOT genetically linked to the Joseph/William-Robert-James-Andrew of this page. See http://www.familytreedna.com/public/park-e-s/ for Group with Lineage Key=XP. This David alledgedly descends from William b 1714 below, thus disproving any relationship to the descendants of Edward Parks (and thus invalidating the Duggan/Harmon statements about Joseph and William -- topic of this website)

From "Baltimore County Families 1659-1759" the Parks family data shows the connections of a consistent family. Note the authors use of "poss" (i.e., possible connection) on the children. In summary:

I have an Elizabeth Milhouse/Millhouse married to John Rutledge 20 Dec 1742, Baltimore.
Her daughter Keziah/Kezia married a John Parks. Her father was Bartholomew Milhouse/Millhouse,
married to Bridget. Their children were Charles, Miles, Aquila, Elizabeth and Frances.
After his death in 1743, his widow Bridget married a John Parks on 29 Oct 1743, Baltimore, MD.

http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?parks::millhouse::75.html
Looking for information on Bartholomew Milhouse who died in 1743 in Baltimore, MD.
His widow, Bridget, remarried to a John Parks on 29 Oct 1743 in Baltimore.
Bartholomew and Bridget had issue: Charles, Miles, Aquila (married Eliz. Parks),
Elizabeth (married John Rutledge 1742, Baltimore) and Frances (married Thomas Cotterell/Cotterall).
Names sound familiar? Trying to figure out where they come from.

The relevancy of the Winchester data below is to confirm the Rev. Frazier
assertion of the three children of Joseph's father (not named) where the only daughter
is made to her brothers legacy to recover some lost fortune. Clearly this daughter
Mary married William Winchester Jr in Frederick. The genealogies above note that the
5th son George (1787-1840) of William Winchester, Jr had a son named "Andrew Parks Winchester"
(1817-1875). [THIS MAY BE IN ERROR: The book Winchester Notes by
Fanny Winchester Hotchkiss, 1912, New Haven CT, The Tuttle, Morehouse and
Taylor, Company says this is "Alexander" not "Andrew"] Also 4th child of
George, John Marshall Winchester had a son named "Andrew Parks Winchester"
(1865-1872).

Which are your surnames of interest?  Parks
Care to share your data?  Yes!
Comments:
I have 2 deeds in Loudoun Co Virginia 1779 that mentions Joseph & Ruth (?)
Parks-William & Mary (?) Parks The dates were 1778-1779 They bought & sold
land then disappeared from County records. 
Do you think this could be
James & Ruth Parks just passing thru Loudoun Co VA? 
They also appear
as paying tithes 1774-1777 in Shelburne Parish 
William Parks appears
1774 Cameron Parish. 
Frederick Co MD is just above Loudoun Co VA

Thanks for any input!

Early Parks in VA -- Data from 1746

See also: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/WVHARDY/1999-10/0939244783 says the John Parks below is the oldest son of Dr. Roger Park of Huntington Co NJ

http://www.mathematical.com/caudyjames1700.html
Frederick County, 2:208, 5 March 1746
On the petition of James Coddy, Thomas Smith, John Parks, William Naylor, Josiah Arnold, George Potts, Darby McKeaver, Samuel Farrington, George Hoge, Peter Foster, and Walter D[illegible] for a road from Park's graveyard near Cape Capon water, over Dillon's Run, into the Wagon Road on Joseph Edwards's land, it is ordered that the said road be cleared by the siad petitioners and that they work on the same under James Coddy, who is hereby appointed surveyo r thereof. And it is further ordered that the said James Coddy cause the said road to be kept in good repair and make bridges thereon where required according to law.

NOTE: This appears to be Frederick County Virginia later Hamphshire County Virginia and ultimately Hampshire County (http://www.historichampshire.org/histwvgs.htm) West Virginia

The location mentioned is south of the Potomac along the Capacon river. There Parks cemetary may be "Park's Hollow" Cemetery (http://www.historichampshire.org/cems/park.htm) Dillon's Run parallels Highway 50 from Romney east toward Frederick. Joseph Edward's Land is a well known Ft.Edwards http://www.fortedwards.org/maps/md-forts.htm

There are also land grants here: STATE OF VIRGINIA ENUMERATIONS
HAMPSHIRE COUNTY - 1782

The names on these lists were taken from microfilm of the early Census Records of Hampshire County. Microfilm relating to these names is available at the National Archives in Washington, DC, which has been shown as the source of material for all names. The first and second Census records for Virginia were lost as a result of the War of 1812. Certain State of Virginia enumerations taken by the early Justices during the years 1782 and 1784 for Hampshire County have been used in lieu of the 1790 and 1800 Census.
On the list for 1782, the only information given other than the name of Head of Family was one total figure in a column for whites and another column for total number of blacks. The last column is a code column that gives the name of the justice who recorded the name of the Head of Family and other data on the manuscript for record purposes.

Park, Andrew 5 - 5
Park, John 11 - 5
Park, Samuel 6 - 5

This Park group is NOT related to Joseph by virtue of its DNA matching to Dr. Roger Park of Huntington Co NJ descendants.

Andrew Parks and Abraham Hayter were exec of Joseph Parks' will of 1771 in Frederick MD

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=uncle_bud&id=I03082

Abraham was the Captain of Piney Creek Hundred Militia during the Revolutionary War. He was also Constable of Piney Creek Hundred, PA.

It is believed that Abraham's real estate partner, Andrew Parks, may have been his brother-in -law (supposing that Parks's wife Rachell was Susannah's sister

Note this references says the "Brooks Discovery on the Rich Lands" is only 1003 Acres

Note: Abraham's wife is Susannah Darrock b: 1728 in Prob. Horsham Township, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania).

In a deed of 18, November 1786, both Hayter & Parks are listed as being of Virginia. Hayter was popular with the German immigrants of Maryland in the 1760s because he could speak their language. They petitioned the court to appoint him justice of the peace. In 1771, he gave two acres of land to be used as the site of the Piney Creek Presbyterian Church. It is believed that the Hayter family originates in Northern England, then moves to Northern Ireland, then settles along the Delaware River, moving down to southeast Pennsylvania to Frederick County, MD.
