Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/885 Surname: Parks ------------------------- I am looking for information Jonathan Parks of Chowan Co. NC I would like to know if there any Bible records, wills or deeds mentioning a Jonathan Parks In the surrounding counties, Gates, Hertford, Bertie, Tryell. I will tell you the information I have on him. Probably born abt. 1790 1st marriage Kiddy Webb in 1806 Had a son Elisha Parks born 1817 Mentioned in the 1820 Census 5 children, 1 boy 4 girls 2nd marriage Riney Goodwin 1829 Purchased land in 1832,1834 and 1838 in Chowan Co. Mentioned in the 1840 census the are 4 small children mentioned 2 boys and 2 girls 3rd marriage to Miram(mary)Jordon in 1846 1848 purchased land in Chowan 1850 mentioned in the Census as Elisha Parks with his 3rd wife and two children 1.Rebecca Parks age 3 2. Jordon Parks age 1 His first son Elisha Parks is mentioned in the 1850 census. with his wife Milly(Armelia) Modlin and there children. I am trying to accomplish 2 things 1. Find out Who Jonathan's father and mother were. 2. Find out who these children are that in the census. I have some names of people that I believe could very well be Jonathan's children. It appears from the research that I have done that every Parks in Chowan and Perq NC is related to Jonathan Parks. I am presently trying to figure out it that is true. My Granddad told me that their were Parks that moved west. Jonathan sames to be the only Parks in Chowan and Perq. that stayed in the area. If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated. Vandy Vpark3@juno.com
