I am researching the PARKS family of North Carolina. My Parks family is said to have descended from a Capt. Hugh Parks, who was in the Revolutionary War, and recieved a Land Grant in the state of NC. Is there anyone working on this name?? My oldest ancestor confirmed is Moses Parks b. 1821 NC, and both his parents are born NC. Moses is found on the 1880 census in Fayette Co., TN. My line descends from his son John Edward Parks Sr ( a doctor) to John Edward Parks Jr. (also a doctor). John Jr. eventually went back to NC and settled near Robbinsville, Graham Co., NC and was a doctor there. His children are still living. I would appreciate hearing from other Parks and especially any info on HUGH. I will share with you all that I have so far. Lillian Kathleen Martin
