My Parks Genealogy
By Randall S. Treadway

     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.

     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 (1850 Census states Maryland), the possible son of Samuel Parks?. David married Catherine _____ (Note: some researchers state Catherine Case, however, that couple married in 1802 in Virginia). Catherine was born in 1775, also in Maryland. Their family 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.

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.
