Message Board Post:
Two years later and I am still looking for Jennie Parks. I now have the will for her
mother Dr. Marie J. Parks Furlong which is dated Dec 1877. In it she mentions her
daughter and the daughter's two children, but unfortunately she does not give her
daughter's married name. She does indicate that Jennie and the children were to be
allowed to continue sharing her home with Mr. Furlong.
Yesterday I found the marriage record for Marie J. Parks and Gilbert W. Furlong, both of
Warsaw, Indiana. They were married in Kalamazoo, Michigan on April 4, 1877. I have not
found a marriage record for Jennie Parks yet. The only census in which I have located
Jennie is the 1870 Census, Warsaw, Kosciusko Co., IN. She is 15, so born about 1855, in
Indiana. She is a student in boarding school in Steubenville, OH for at least a couple of
years as reflected in the letters which she wrote to my great-grandfather.
Although I have found a Parks family researcher who will take the letters, we both are
hoping to find one of Jennie's descendants.
Any help anyone can give me in tracing Jennie's married name and/or descendants would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy Smith
