Hello, The only dispute as to who Roger Parke of Hopewell, NJ is has been put out by a Gertrude Urughart who thinks that Roger Parke of Hopewell came from Nottingham, England instead of Northumberland Co. England. This is incorrect information and The Parke Society will probably put out a notice about this on internet. We have documentation that Roger Parke, b. 1648, m. 1676 to Ann Patison in Hexham, Northumberland Co., England came to America in 1682 (Letter of Removal from Northumberland Co. Monthly Meetings to Chesterfield Monthly meetings in Burlg. Co., NJ. We have already documented that Roger Parke who was in the Chesterfield M. M. (Quaker) in Burlg. Co., lived in Crosswicks ,then bought property in Hopewell, NJ. is the only Roger Parke. Mrs. Urughart thinks that because a Roger Parkes name is found in same area, that we made a mistake and she is right. Don't get mislead by her version. The John Park I line (Roger S. b. 1648 has already been proved by DNA) Also some of the Roger Parke Jr. b. 1684 (my line ) has also been proven. I hope that many members will get their DNA tested to prove for sure which line they belong to From what I have been hearing, from members who have tested, all are of the Roger Parke of Hopewell lineage (Roger b. 1`648,) This is good news. Some have only guessed that they belonged to the Roger line, so this will settle thngs one and for all.The Parke Society (Historian, Tad Parks, Jean Churchill, Librarian and Percy are staying with the present Roger Parke, written up by Percy as well as myself. There was another Park line in Hunterdon Co., NJ late 1700's that is not connected to Roger, so this will help those prove their lineage. Newsletter is on the way today. I am going to read the first issue in a few minutes. Cecilia B. Parke, PS#535
