My Parks Genealogy
Welcome to my Parks Genealogy page. I have been working on this line for many many years now. This page would be incomplete if it were not for so may distant cousins who have contributed both their time and research to make this page what it is today. I would especially like to thank Warren Barnes, Steve Stroh, Jerry Parks, Roxanna Foudray, and Gerald Parks. I believe that all the information below is correct, but if you find any discrepancies, please email me. I hope you find the information helpful to you. If anyone is interested in joining the Park/e/s Y DNA Project, please click here. Thank you for dropping by. Enjoy. Please remember each bit of information found here, or elsewhere, must be researched and proven by weight of evidence, via you, the researcher. Descendants of David Parks*David Parks was born 19 July 1775, in Maryland the son of Samuel Parks. It has been said by some that David was born in Co., Donegal, Ireland, however, the 1850 Virginia Twp., Coschocton Co., Ohio census states that he was born in Maryland. David married _____, some researchers state Catherine; others state Mary. Mrs. Parks was born ca 1775. David and his wife migrated to Ohio. The 1800 Ohio Census Records were burned by the British in the War of 1812, so it is hard to find any information. A brief history of Ohio and the counties our family were in is needed I believe. David and his family were 1st listed in the 1803 Newton, Washington Co., Ohio Census Records. Note: A part of Washington Co., Ohio split into Muskingum Co. in 1804, and then into Coshocton Co. in 1811. David and his family are then in 1820 Washington Twp., Coshocton Co., Ohio Census, pg. 50 with 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 18-26 (Joseph), 1 male 45 +, 4 females under 10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 16-18, 1 female 18-26 (Jane Richcreek Parks), and 1 female 26-45, Note: Since I have been unable to find Joseph and Jane in the Census Records (married July 1820), and the census was taken in August 1820, I believe two of these children were Joseph and Jane, the 1830 Virginia Twp., Coshocton Co., Ohio Census, pg. 11, with 1 male 15-20, 1 male 50-60, 2 females 10-15, 2 females 15-20, and 1 female 50-60, the 1840 Virginia Twp., Coshocton Co., Ohio Census, pg. 358 with 1 male 60-70, 2 females 20-30, and 1 female 50-60. They were also listed in the 1850 Virginia Twp., Coshocton Co., Ohio Census, pg. 117. David died on 01 May 1866 and is buried in the Fivecoats Cemetery, Coshocton Co., Ohio. He left a Will dated 06 Jul 1861, and produced in court on 20 Jul 1866. In his will he mentions his children, Joseph and William Parks, and his daughters; Mary Fivecoats, Sarah Musgrove, Elizabeth Squire, Deborah Squire, and Catherine McCloy. Children of David and Catherine are listed below:: 1. Joseph Parks, (See 2nd Generation), born 01 Jan 1799 in Newton Twp., Washington Co., Ohio. 2. Mary Anna Parks, b: ca 1802, Ohio. She married Michael Fivecoat on 03 Apr 1821 in Coshocton Co., Ohio. Michael was born ca 1801 in Virginia, possibly the son of Henry and Rachel Fivecoat. Their family was listed in the 1830 Virginia, Coshocton Co., Ohio Census with 1 male under 5, 1 male 20 to 29, 2 females under 5, 1 female 5 to 9, and 1 female 20-29, the 1840 Virginia, Coshocton Co., Ohio Census that may be this family, but the dates for him are off, which is not unusual. He had 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 1 male 10-14, 2 males 15-19, 1 male 50 to 59, 2 females under 5, 2 females 5 to 9, and 1 female 40-49, the 1860 Mitcheltree, Martin Co., Indiana Census.
