Marie, Maybe we can help each other. For years I have searched for info on my William H. Parks who married Malinda Clift, I believe in Tennessee. They had a daughter named Martha Parks Hickey, b. 1822 in TN. That is all I know about William and Malinda. I could be possible they were the parents of your William H. Parks. If you run across anything in your search, please get back to me. This may not be a connection for either of us, but it's worth a look. Janie Furman
