I'm going to get this right yet!! - I hate to put anything "out there" that is incorrect - here are the correct dates - again forgive me..... In 1785 William Cole, Justice of the County Court, had been appointed the guardian of the orphans of a George Parke and his wife, Agnes Nichols (Rowan County marriage bond dated 5 February 1762, Jacob Nichols and Henry Lively, bondsmen.) (18). It is not known if there is any relationship between Agnes Nichols and William Nichols, son-in-law of Stephen and Sarah Pettypool. 1785 May 5 Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, William Cole, Esq apptd guardian of John Park, Mary Park [married 1787 Robert McKee], Agness Park, Joshua Park, Huldy Park, & Jacob Nichols Park, orphans of George Park dec'd & gave �400 bond with James McCay [McKee] security. thanks - Susan Mike - actually I mispoke (I'm at work away from my records) - George Parke married Agness Nichols in 1769 in Rowan Co. - he died I believe in 1784 or so......sorry.
