I notice that several are researching Cyrus PARKS who lived in Cherokee County Texas. I have "Cherokee County History" published by the Cherokee County Historical Commission in 1986. In a section entitled, " The Creation of a County," While researching my Park line, I found the following mention of a Cyrus Parks: "On April 11, 1846, the boundaries of Cherokee County were fixed by law . . . The law creating the county also named a Commission composed of Elisha MOSELEY, John H. IRBY, Col. Cyrus PARKS, Nathaniel KILLOUGH, William ROARK, W. Y. LACY, Samuel BOX, and William S. BOX to mark the boundaries of the county; to locate a county seat to be called Rusk within three miles of the geographic center of the county; to purchase at least 100 acres of land for the town site (by condemnation if necessary); and to reserve lots for a courthouse, jail, and public buildings." Unfortunately I did not find anything about my Park ancestor, Pascal Ledbetter PARK b. 1832 in Alabama, lived in Tippah County, Miss. d. 1910 in Ellis County, Tx.
