The first was •' The Parke Families of Connecticut," published in 1906; the second "The Parke Families of Massa chusetts," published in 1909. Ori&rinally begun with the object of tracing one person's ancestors, and with no adequate idea of the number bearing the name in this Country, the work has grown a way beyond the first expectations. To give a faint idea of the number of people of the Park, Parke and Parks names who must be living in this Country at this writing, we would call attention to the list of names given in the Census of 1790. That list shows over three hundred heads of families and is not complete, as several States are missing. As the majority of those heads of families have descendants now living-some as many as three or four·-hundred-it would see1n that there must be thousands here now. Some city directories contain over a hundred of our family names, and there must be thousands living in country districts whose names do not appear in any directory. The material contained in this volume has been accumulating for a number of years. The compiler has tc1.ken memoranda of all items concerning the family names that have come to his attention since first becoming interested in the subject. Due credit has been given at the beginning of each part to the members of the families who have helped to compile 7 PARKS RECORDS them. However, especial mention should be made of some who spent a great deal of time in collecting information and forwarding it for publication. They were: Admiral C. W. Parks, U. S. N., "rashington, D. C.; Mrs~ Palmer Johnson, Marion, S. C.; Mr. John M. Stanton, Elmira. N. Y., and Dr. Philip P. Park, Hamilton. Ont. · It will be noted that most of the information con· tained in this book concerns only some of the old families of the New England states and Pennsylva nia. There were other families in the old Southern states-quite a number of them, as shown by the Census of 1790-and it is to be hoped ~hat someone will eventually be able to· collect data and publish a book or books covering those families. The under signed hopes to continue collecting and preserving information about the various families, which will be available to any of the descendants. Attention is invited to the chapter headed: "The Pioneers," in which is given a short synopsis of the ariginal immigrants, so far as disco,.,.ered; together with a list of what has been printed about the various families. This volume has been printed in separate parts so that those interested. in but, one family would not ha Ye to obtain the -entire book,_ but could secure any particular part desired. Washington, D.
