David, I don't see him listed in Parke of Massachusetts [online] nor in the two volumes I have: Parke & Parks of Connecticut and Parks Records. It is vaguely possible that he was the head-of-household enumerated in 1790 in Coxsackie, Albany County, NY 3 - 3- 4 [or related to them] There is another Jonas listed in 1790 in Charlestown, Cheshire Co., NH 1 - 1- 4 and a final one in CT Jona Parks, Willinton, Tolland Co, CT 2 - 2- 3 Other Park/e/s from Dutchess County who served in Revolution: Andrew Parks in MM Regt, from Duchess County Daniel Parks, farmer; born New England; enlisted in Dutchess County, NY, May 1, 1760 [sic, must be 1780]; was then 18 years old; 5 ft 9 1/2 in. tall Ebenezer Park, Dutchess County, NY, 6th Regt. Elijah Park; Dutchess County, NY 6th Regt. John Park; Dutchess county; 7th regt. John Parks; from Dutchess county, NY in M. M. regt. Jonas Parks, Dutchess county; in 6th regt. Joseph Park, Dutchess County; in 6th regt. Nathaniel Parks, Dutchess county; 6th regt. Samuel Parks, Dutchess county, 6th regt. Whiten Parks, Dutchess Co., 6th regt. So, those were men who served from Dutchess County. Depending on when your Jonas was born, he might be the one above. Surely, with luck, some of the others are relatives.
