Parks Roll Call My Parks information begins with Hiram Parks, who according to his tombstone and the family bible was born on October 24, 1824 in GA. He died May 7, 1903 in Bradley County, Tennessee. Hiram was married on May 17, 1851 to Malinda Hull in Monroe County, Tennessee. He enlisted in the Confederate Army, Co. B., 1st Battalion, East Tennessee Cavalry at Sweetwater, Tennessee (Monroe County) on June 28, 1861 according to his civil war records. His tombstone says Co. G, 4th Tenn. Cav. (The 4th ,Branner's Tennessee Cavalry Battalion was also called the 1st, also 2nd East Tennessee Battalion) Malinda Hull's father and mother were Abraham and Elizabeth Hull according to Monroe Co. census records. I am aware of other Parks living in Monroe County at this time, but can't straighten out the connection. There were at least 3 Hiram's, gotta be a connection, also similar names used in each of the families. Would like to be able to establish who his parents were so I can go further back. In the 1880 Bradley County TN census record, Hiram is age 50, a widower living with the following in his household: Elizabeth, age 28, daughter, Franklin, age 6, grandson; Eddie, age 2, grandson; Charlie, age 25, son, farmer.
