Armstrong Co PA and saw many of above grave sites. Robert Parks and wife, Jane Bratton Parks each have a 6 foot slab over their graves. Roberts is half off. Each are engraved with names and date and a verse. The History of Armstrong Co PA said Robert Parks moved to Armstrong Co PA in 1814 in the Kiskiminetas Valley, leaving his three brothers. Two of them settled in "Kentuck" and the other settling in Indiana or Illinois. Robert brought his 6 children and their entire earthly possessions in a covered wagon drawn by one horse. The family were members of the Presbyterian Church, strong Democrats, and active in their community. There are descendants of the above families in Giles Co TN, and KY that I know of. Love to hear from them. Ginny Keefer [spouse, Robert Gordon Keefer] ginnykeefer@cox.net
