Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/340 Surname: Parke, Pipkin, Gregori or Gregory ------------------------- I'm searching for information on the Parke Family in Jefferson County, Missouri. In 1843, Milton Parke purchased a 160 acre farm near the town of Kimmswick from Joseph Sale and soon after his brother, Merrel Parke, purchased a farm in the same area. Milton married Almira Pipkin, daughter of Col.Philip Pipkin, and had 3 children, Jonah, Philip, and Fannie. Philip Parke married Anna Maria Gregori and had 5 children ( Ardell, A.Stephen, Philip Jonah, Dewey, and Cecil). I know little about Merrel Parke. I'm searching for any information about these relatives and especially would like any pictures that might be available of Almira Pipkin Parke and Merrel Parke for the family doesn't have any existing.
