PX Samuel Parks/Parkhurst (both names are seen in the registers). (1776, MA-1860, NB) (represented) m. Elizabeth Bradstreet, 1799 in New Hampshire. There is considerable debate as to
Samuel’s identity. For whatever reason, a number of variations in the surname seem to appear
relating to the one and same individual. He had a number of children who seem to have carried
the Parks surname.

Sources Materials: Lineage Papers and correspondence of descendant members. Also see Currier Family Records of USA
and Canada,
Philip Joseph Currier (June 2002). Vol. 5:463.

George. Whether they immigrated to the colonies or not is unknown for
sure but we are treating this as a possible Immigrant Line,

Source Materials: Lineage papers and correspondence of descendant members.

TX Robert Park (c1857, Ire – ?) (represented) married Mary Robinson in Caro, Michigan.
Since no family group sheets were ever provided, little is known of this line. However it is being treated as an Immigrant Line. Source: Lineage papers and correspondence of descendant members.

There was at least one child known and named, perhaps more.

  • Samuel Robertson Park (1887 MI-1943, MI) married Mary Purdy in 1911 in Caro, MI. Had issue.

    PS#235D)

UX Currently vacant, not in use. This key was formerly used to describe:

01UX1 James Park, (1781, NJ Ð1828, PA), married Barbara Steer circa 1806, now classified as 03KY4.

VX Samuel Park, 02VX5 (1767, SC Ð 1860, TN) (Represented), married Jane Thompson (1775, TN-1838, TN)
in 1792, Maury City, Crockett Co., TN. This is no longer considered an immigrant line.
DNA testing would be a definite plus for this lineage.

There is confusion as to the parentage of this Samuel Park. Some researchers believe that his father
was a William Park who immigrated from Scotland before the Revolutionary War, settling in South Carolina.

However there exists a considerable number of researchers who claim the ancestor as a John Park,
born 1736, lived and died 1779 in SC, who married a Ann (Unknown), circa 1759, who was also born in SC
and had perhaps six children.

What to do? The lines from Samuel and Jane on down seem to have good paper trails. No definitive
evidence has been offered for either William or John as the predecessor to Samuel, and yet there is
extant some information as to the household of John which does include the said Samuel which fits
nicely into the scheme of things. So while there is no proof certain at this time of exact
parentage of Samuel The Society has chosen to create a group sheet for John (01VX1) with Samuel
being the fifth child (02VX5). The other children of this John with approximate dates of birth are:
Joseph, 1759; Mary, 1761; Margaret, 1763; John, 1765; and William, 1769.

William Park, from Scotland about the time of the Revolutionary War, settling in South
Carolina.

  • Samuel Park, his son (c1767, Scotland-c1855, Maury Co., TN) (represented), married
    Jane Thompson in 1792, possibly in South Carolina. One child known from the Lineage Application,
    perhaps more. Source: Lineage papers of PS#259.

    Per member “My knowledge of the family prior to their Tennessee residence is very scant, but I
    understand that three brothers came to the Philadelphia area prior to the Revolutionary War – one
    went further north to Massachusettes [sic], one remained in Pennsylvania, and one [William, above]
    went south to South Carolina.” David L. Parke, then Historian, surmised that this line might be
    tied to the so called Arthur line, Lineage Key A, but no DNA testing has been done on this line to
    confirm this possibility.

  • John Joseph Andrew Park (1813, TN – 1904, TN), married Elizabeth Winifred Steele. Had issue.

Perhaps other children.

WX Ephraim Park (c1800, NC/GA1848, MS), (represented) married Clara Jackson, probably in
South Carolina before 1826. There being no Family Group Sheet information, data is limited to what
appears on the Lineage Application.

Source Materials: Lineage papers and correspondence of descendant members.

At least one child:

  • Matthew Park (1826, SC – 1891, AR), married Caroline Jane Walker circa 1849. Had issue.

Perhaps other children.

(PS#260)

XX See the double letter Lineage Keys.
YX John Park (c1796, Ire – 1875, NS) (represented) married circa 1825 Rebecca Crowe
in Nova Scotia. Again, there being no Family Group Sheets information is limited to what is
contained on the Lineage Application, At least one daughter, perhaps others. Perhaps related
to the Lineage Key “CW” which also came from Ireland to Nova Scotia.

Source Materials: Lineage papers and correspondence of descendant members.

At least one daughter:

  • Eunice Park (1853, NS-died in NS?) married John Rodman circa 1787. They had issue.

Perhaps other children as well, unknown.

(PS#269D?)

ZX Thomas Parke (1793, Ire – 1864, ONT) (represented). Married 1) Sarah (Unknown) who died
in 1841, 2) Harriet Rose Wilkes. Per biographical notes found in the member’s file, Thomas had
three sons and possibly a daughter by the first marriage, and at least a son and two daughters by
the second marriage. We have information only on the son of the second marriage. This is an Immigrant Line.

Source Materials: Lineage papers and correspondence of descendant members.

One child documented:

    Edward Dean Parke (no dates given) married Susan Wilkes. Had issue.

Had other children, names and dates currently unknown. (See above.)
