OP CONNECTICUT. 1!ntrot)uctton» This book contains all that it has been possible to learn about the Park, Parke and Parks families of Connecticut. In the main, the facts given are cor- rect; but mistakes must necessarily occur where information is derived from so many sources. Conse- quently the compiler can not guarantee the accuracy of any of the statements made in this volume. In many cases the same event has been found recorded as having occurred on different dates. For instance; the birth of one man who is still living, is found re- corded in a church record as 1825, on a town record as 1827, while he himself says he was born in 1826. minds of . Some confusion of dates, may occur in the those not familiar with the subject; from the fact that previous to 1752, the legal and ecclesiastical year began on March 25, although it was not uncom- mon in writing to reckon it from Jan. 1. Conse- quently many events occurring between Jan. 1, and March 25, are recorded by giving both years. For instance; a child born (as we reckon now,) on Feb. on 12, 1743, might be recorded as having been born "Feb, 12, 1742-3." In tracing one's ancestors, the system of numbers used has been found by the N. K. Hist. Gen. Society to be the most simple. For instance; Scott Parks is found on page 181, as number 1050. By turning back father until his number is found, on page 125, his Lewis, No. 530, will be seen. Going back to No. either turn- 530, his father will be found, and so on, ing backward or formard, ones ancestors or descen- dants may be traced. 8 PARKE FAMILIES ©tber iparkc (Benealootee* As far as known this book is the first successful attempt to publish a list of the Parke and Parks families of Connecticut. It is said that Paul Park wrote a genealogy of Robert Parke's descendants in 1763. Hezekiah Ripley Parke is supposed to have compiled and written out his branch of the family about 1847. Hudson Hovey Parke attempted a gen- ealogy of Robert Parke's family about 1887, but did not live to publish it. Mr. Edwin H. Park published a very good genealogy of his branch of the Robert Parke family in 1902. The " History of Windham County, N. H.," con- tains a very complete account of the descendants of Alexander Park, who is supposed to have come from Ireland in 1728, and landed in Boston; finally settling in Windham. Bond's "History of Watertown," Mass., contains several generations of the descen- dants of Richard Parke, of Cambridge, Mass., who came from London, in the ship "Defence," in 1636. In 1888, Mr. Levi Wesson Park, of Chicago, published a small book: " Family Record of Levi Park, of Bernardston, Mass." Levi was a descendant of Richard. Rev. C. C. Park published a record of the Peter Park family in 1876; and W. J. Park, of Cov- ington, Ky., published in 1880, "The Park Family of Washington Co., Pa." Dr. C. R. Parke, of Bloomington, Ills., compiled in Ms. a list of the descendants of Arthur Parke, of Pennsylvania, who came from Ireland before 1744. The "History of Rye, N. Y.," contains a record of some descendants of Roger Park, who is supposed to have come from France before 1699. OF CONNECTICUT. Iprerace* This book is the result of a casual visit to the Boston Public Library, in September 1899. The compiler, then residing in Boston, noticed upon a shelf in that librar}' a History of his native town, Palmer, Mass., and on looking over its pages, came across his own name, together M^ith that of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather Up to that time he had not known his great-grandfather's name and had never had any curiosity to know it. All knowledge of his ancestors, be)^ond his grandfa- ther, was embraced in the statement, often made b}'- his father, that: "All the Parks's in this Country were descended from two brothers who settled in Connecticut in sixteen hundred and something." Upon learning that he had had a great-grandfather and his name, Reuben Parks, the idea occurred that HE must have had a father, and curiosity became excited to learn who he was. From that point he started in systematically to discover the name of his great-great-grandfather, and for three months spent all his evenings poring over genealogies and local town histories, in the Boston Public Library, looking for all items about the family name and taking notes of them. Having obtained considerable information through this source, it was decided to send out circulars to other members of the family, and, if results would warrant it, to publish in book form all the facts that were secured. At that time, however, it was not realized what a stupendous undertaking it would be. 3 10 PARKE FAMILIES The library of the New England Historic Genea- logical Society, of Boston; the libraries of Worcester, Mass.; Norwich, New Tvondon, New Haven and Hartford, Conn.; the Lenox Library, of New York City; the Library of Congress and other libraries in Washington, D. C, that are rich in genealogical data, were searched. Several trips were made from Washington to the New England states to consult various records. The vital, probate, land and church records of many Connecticut and Massachusetts towns were closely scanned for facts relating to the family. Old graveyards, many of them almost forgotten and inaccessible, were visited and many names and dates unearthed, that will become obliterated in a few years through the relentless march of time and the ravages of decay. Over three thousand letters and circulars were sent out to members of the family in all parts of the Country, and much valuable informa- tion was received through this source. Many facts were found in old family bibles and other old family records, and through personal interviews with living members of the family. It is impossible to mention more than a few of the many who sent valuable data, together with words of encouragement and wishes for success. Mr. Francis R. Parks, of Westfield, Mass., secured the services of Mr. L. M. Dewey, (compiler of the Dewe}^ Genealo- gy,) who obtained much of the earlier history of the family in Connecticut. Mr. Edwin H. Park, of Den- ver, Colo., who compiled a genealogy of his branch of the descendants of Robert Parke, placed all the data that he had collected at the service of this vol- ume. Mr. Joseph H. Parks, of Amsterdam, N. Y., Mrs. A. P. Gilbert, of Logan, Okla., Mrs. Myrta OF CONNECTICUT. n Bossart, of Burton, Ohio, Mrs. A. C. Oilman, of Palisades, N. Y., and many others, spent much time in collecting and forwarding facts about the families for use in the Genealogy. All are entitled to the thanks of the writer and the readers for their efforts to make this record more complete. In his journeyings in the quest for information the compiler has personally met many of the family who have helped to make this book a success, and a better set of people do not exist. They are, for the most part, people of the middle class, neither very rich nor extremely poor; God fearing, industrious; in fact, the kind of people who have helped to make this great Country what it is. We have been well represented in all the wars, in- cluding the Colonial wars; and there is no branch of the arts, sciences or industries in which members of our great family can not be found taking an honora- ble part.

  • Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Marker
    Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Markers Installed as of 6/9/11 Note: Some sites include multiple markers. BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

  • Brothers of the Spade Correspondence of Peter Collinson^ of London^ and of John Custis Y of Ff^Illiamsburs, Virginia, 1734-1746'
    Brothers of the Spade Correspondence of Peter Collinson^ of London^ and of John Custis y of ff^illiamsburs, Virginia, 1734-1746' BY E. G. SWEM N editing the letters of Peter CoUinson of London, and I of John Custis of Williamsburg, 1734-1746, I shall not attempt an exhaustive study either of CoUinson, inde- fatigable promoter of botany and horticulture in England, or of Custis, wealthy, eccentric and somewhat misunder- stood Virginia planter. I am presenting a biographical sketch of each; in that of CoUinson caUing attention to a few high lights of his career so that it will be evident how the letters to John Custis merge into his general purpose of advancing a love for plant life, and of arousing a desire for the improvement of gardens in England; and how that pur- pose was accomplished by the importation of seeds from all regions of the world, but principally from North America, and by the generous dissemination of advice about their propagation; in the course of the sketch and the notes accompanying it, I shall take the liberty to point out some defects in preceding contributions on CoUinson, and refer to the newer literature that has arisen since the publication of the Life of Peter CoUinson^ by N.

Stosch Mr. Walter J. Kucharski, Auditor of Public Accounts Director Philip A. Leone COPYRIGHT 2000, COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA Preface House Joint Resolution No. 530 and Senate Joint Resolution No. 345 from the 1999 Session directed a JLARC review of issues related to the care and maintenance of burial sites of Revolutionary War veterans. Virginia currently has a program to help provide for the care and maintenance of Confederate veteran gravesites, but has no similar program for veterans of the American Revolution. This final report provides a listing of Revolutionary War veteran burials that updates a list printed in the interim report for this study. The final report also contains recommendations and funding options for a program to provide care for these burial sites. JLARC staff estimate that there are about 560 cemetery sites and 705 grave markers that are potentially eligible for participation in a maintenance program re- ceiving State support. Some of the sites already receive certain maintenance care, so State assistance would serve to either help defray some of the current expenditures made by caretakers, or help them provide a higher level of maintenance care.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy o f the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of die original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Tha sign or "?c.,§€t" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. Youa will find good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. I t is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
