Dear Fellow Historians, My name is Doug Park. Like many of you, I am a direct descendant of Pioneers who lived in the Rowan County area during the mid-1700s, including my 5GGPs, Ebenezer Park, Sr. (1747-1839) and Tabitha Mills (1752-1826). Recently, I heard from a lady, Nancy Davis, who purchased my Park Family Book, that a friend of hers knew of a Park burial ground that could only be "accessed by boat in Rowan County". Nancy had no further details. I would like to know where this cemetery is and hear from anyone who has been there. My feeling is that it might be located near Bald Mountain where one of my Eb's older brothers, George Park (born in 1736) and his wife, Agnes Nichols lived. George married Agnes in 1762 and died in the Bald Mountain District in 1782. He was said to have lived near Bald Mountain, possibly close to the water there. I have never found, nor heard of anyone locating their burial place. If you have knowledge of any Park Family burial sites in the Rowan/Davidson County area, to include the one I mention above, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you! My e-mail address is: [email protected] Thank you so much!
