Cousin Wade: Always nice to meet another cousin. First, no proof has ever been found regarding the wife of Thomas Parks I of Ballengers Mountain who died in Albemarle Co. Va. She probably died before he made his will. We have documents to prove that Charity Parks married Richard Chandler. She was the great grand daughter of Thomas Parks I. If you got the web site I just posted you can follow the trail from Thomas Parks I, Thomas II, Thomas III to his daughter Charity. Now, I'm sending a cc of this message to Gayle Keough, a direct proven descendant of Charity. Gayle is a very reliable researcher and I just know (from memory) that Richard and Charity had s son, Parks Chandler. Re: Elizabeth Parks who married Christopher Hutchings. I see no direct line connection to the above but I do have a lot of data on this family. No time to look right now but there are several land deals and wills in my web site for this family. Check it out and get back to me with specific questions....Ok? And good luck, DL Wade Lovelace wrote: > Hi List, > > I have two Parks lines.
