Cheryl- Thomas Park was born between 1750/1760 as calculated from census records. By 1796 he was in Allegheny county. He had a wife, Mary, we know from land records. She dies before 1830, and was born about 1780, so this may be a second wife for Thomas. These folks have been my brick wall...I have no idea where they were prior to the late 1700's in Western PA. I don't have a definitive birth date for Robert or Samuel Parks. Robert's daughter, Mary, was born in 1775. This would give an estimated birth for Robert as late as 1755, although of course he could have been born much earlier. I appreciate any help. I suspect there is an Irish connection for this Park/Parks family. Children of James (b. 1799 died after 1860) are mentioned in the will of Polly Boyd as nieces and nephews, and she has an Irish connection. I Thanks!
