I'm looking for Samuel Parks with the following unverified info:
b. 1800(02 or 03) Fleming County (created from Mason County in 1798 which was created from
Bourbon County created in 1786, which was created from Fayette County in 1780), KY. m.
Mary Overlin 1/23/23 Orange County, IN, b. in KY 1803. Samuel died 1851(2). His father,
Samuel, fought in the Am. Rev. after immigrating from Ireland.
This part is verified:
Two of his sons or grandsons would have been Dr. James Franklin Parks of Washington, IN,
and Thomas H. Parks of Huntingburg, IN (b. 1838 & 1840). Thomas H. would also have
lived in Ellsworth, IN. His second marriage was to Ellen Cox Gas (daughter of Christopher
Cox) in 1880. Thomas' grandfather (a Samuel Parks) immigrated from Ireland and fought
in the Am. Rev. His grandmother immigrated from England.
I would love to find an Orange County Parks researcher; there must be one since there are
so many Parks in Orange County.
I would also be interested in anyone with info on Christopher Cox and Elizabeth Parks.
