DD | Andrew Parks (1770-1836) m. Harriett Washington. Geographic area: Baltimore, Fredericksburg, West Virginia. Seven children known: Anne Eliza, Lawrence Augustine, Bushrod, Laura Angela, Andrew, Mary, and John Parks, born between 1797 and 1816.Source Materials: Genealogy of the Families of the Presidents, Reginald Buchanan Henry, 1935.[A historical tidbit here: There are several recognized genealogical numbering systems (of which the Parke Society is one). Reginald Henry created what has come to be known as the Henry System, which uses a series of digits to describe the place of the descendant in the family scheme. It can get rather complex as the generations go, and once you move beyond the 9th child you run into the possibility of confusion. If you see in a compiled genealogy something like: 138523, you are looking at a Henry Number.]Not Represented) |
