Steve, Judy, Carolyn and list- Here's what I have on the Parks in Beaver County...I do suspect they all tie in together somehow, I just haven't been able to sort them out. Robert PARKS Beaver Cty Will, written 19 May 1803, probated 25 August 1813 mentions his brother SAMUEL PARKS, son-in-law William HARSHE, md to daughter MARY, mentions William Harshe's children, Robert, Mary and William and John. Mentions his own sons David and John. Mentions his wife, but does not give her name. William Harshe is also listed as executor. 1801- Allegheny County, deed between William Harshe and his wife Mary, to Thomas Parks of Allegheny. Land owned by Mathias Hooks in 1795. September 1796, court appoint Robert Vance to be guardian of James, son of John, late of Moon Twp, decd, during his minority. Sept 1803, James Boyd, a minor over 14, petitions for Robert Vance to be his guardian. I believe this James marries Mary 'Polly' Boyd, who is living with children of James Parks in 1860. June 26, 1824, on peition of James Park et al, heirs of John Park, decd., who died March 19, 1809, leaving a widow Mary (since decd.) and six children, to wit: Clara, wife of Charles L. Armstrong, James; Margaret; Jane; Robert; and John (a minor and ward of Neville B. Craig); and seized of seven outlots in the Reserve Tract now in Ross Twp. 1820 Greene, Beaver, PA census- lists Thomas Parks, nearby neighbors are Thomas Harshe and William Harshe. Thomas is listed with one male, 70-80, and one male 30-40, one female 30-40. 1830 Hanover, Beaver, PA census- lists Thomas Parks one male, 40-50, one male 20-30 (I suspect this to be James Park) one male child between 10-15, and one male child btwn 5 and 10. There is one female between 20-30, one female between 10-15, and one female under 5. 1840 Green, Beaver, PA census James Park listed, nearby neighbors are James Boid, William Harshe. 1850 Hanover, Beaver, PA lists James and Sarah Parks, age 51, with children Mary,16, Margaret, 14, William 12, and Thomas 9.

A 37 year old Malinda Parks is living with the family of Bazel Swearingen (age 68), wife Sarah (69). Also in this household is an 8 year old Sarah Harshee and a six year old Elizabeth Harshe. The 1863 will of Mary Boyd mentions her niece Margaret Park, and her nephew William Park. This will, from Greene, Beaver, PA was probated 5 October 1865. In the 1860 census, Margaret, William and Mary, children of James and Sarah Parks, are living with Polly Boyd age 70. I am sure this is Mary Boyd. The William Park mentioned is my direct line. He was born 8 May, 1837 in Hookstown, Beaver, PA and served in the Civil War. His brother, Thomas, also served in the Civil War. 6 April 1830, deed of Thomas Park to James Park for the sum of one dollar, Beaver, PA (some of the same land as listed in above deeds) Thomas wife, Mary signs deed. 1845 will of William Harshe has James Park as a witness. William harshe was born 1768. His wife Mary Park, born 1775, died 26 June 1849, buried in Mill Creek, PA 1845 deed Thomas and Isabella Swaney of Green, Beaver PA to James Parks of Greene. 1847 deed between James and Sarah Parks of Hanover, Beaver, PA to John Swaney. Tax lists of 1830's show Thomas and James Parks in Greene, Beaver PA. Thanks for any help- Lynn
