Lorrie, No problem with the name mix-up. At least we have some dialog going on for PARKS in Polk and Bradley Co's. Several years ago I received Sumner Co. marriage information on Hamilton PARKS and Martha BEASLEY (30 Sept 1830). Don't know if this is my A. H. PARKS listed in BRADLEY Co in 1850, but the names and marriage date shows promise. Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but initials A. H. ... could he have been named after Alexander Hamilton?? Well, so much for genealogical speculation. Thanks again for your response.
