Sure. But, it seems that my Parks popped out of nowhere right in the middle of the huge Park/e/s family in the area of Preston, CT about 1764. No records, nowhere. Married about September 1785 - no records anywhere. But, I do have a lot of records from when he was in the Rev War from 1781 to end of War; then again from 1790 to 1807 in Vermont, and then from about 1810 to 1848 in Malone, Franklin County, NY. But, no birth, no marriage [1st or 2nd], no death, no children's baptism records. Aaron Parks - who were you?

I am looking for my Great Great Grandma Effie Parks-Hicks can anyone help? Thank You ~ Mary Ann

I have been looking for the Rufus Parks who had a son, Charles, in 1850 in the Troy/Petersburg/Berlin area of Rennselaer County, NY by Palmyra Lewis. They apparently did not marry and she married Elisha Barlett within a year or so of Charles birth and bore him three daughters. There are Rufus PArk/e/s all over the place but I have been searching for 20 years without luck. The only reference we have is on Charles' death certificate, where it is spelled 'Parks'. We have searched all the county records and anywhere else we could think of. I have paid for copies of land grant records to no avail. I found a Rufus Parks in the Michigan death records who looked promising; he was born in New York and his father was Asa Parks, a shoemaker. I simply have never been able to make a connection. Thanks for letting me air my frustration. Mary
