    1. [WVHAMPSH-L] Looking for McDonald, Hawk, Secrist and Parks (Please Help)!
    2. Doug Park - Descendant of Park Pioneer Settlers in VA/WV, NC and KY
    3. All, Looking for any info on McDonald Family in Grant Co., WV, including: Elizabeth "Lizzie" McDonald (1870-1907) married to Victor T. Secrist (1879-1907)...they are my wife's Great Grandparents on her father's maternal side. Victor and Lizzie are buried in Maysville Cemetery (Old McDonald Cemetery) in Maysville, WV (Grant Co.). Did these McDonald's come from Ireland? If so when and who was the first immigrant in this McDonald line? Also, looking for info on: Thomas J. Secrist (1839-1893) father to Victor above and his wife, Frances Hawk (1852-1920)...is HAWK an Indian rooted name? Where did the Hawk's immigrate from? The Secrists? Finally, looking for anyone who knows about the Parks line in Grant County, extending from James Parks (Died 5 April 1891 at aged 78 yrs. and 29 Days) buried in Grant County's Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Petersburg, WV. He married Sarah Nipe (1817-1884). Descendants of these Parks married into my wife's Secrist line! Thank you so much for any help offered! P.S. I am a descendant of the Parkes of Hampshire County, WV (Capon Bridge and Jersey Mountain) who migrated from NJ to then VA in 1735--beginning with my 7th Great Grandparents, John Parke I (1674-1757) and Sarah Smith (1675-1759). John I's father, Dr. Roger Parke came to NJ in 1682 from England. My line migrated from VA/WV to NC, before proceeding into Madison, KY in 1796 (5th Great Grandfather, Ebenezer Parke, 1747-1839).
