CR

John (01CR1) Parks

(c1720,  Ireland – c1795, MD), (Represented). m. Bridget Milhews/Millhughs (a French Lady) (1723, France – 1758, TN) 11 Sept 1743, (or 29 October 1743)  St. John’s Parish, Baltimore County, MD.  Four children are known, perhaps five children migrating from Maryland to Tennessee.  This is an Immigrant Line.


Lineage Key LQ is now a sub-line of this  Lineage Connecting at 03CR7 is the same as Samuel (02LQ2) Parks.   An interesting aspect of that connection is that the wife of Samuel is Susanna Fox-Taylor, a full-blooded member of the Eastern Cherokee tribe.  All children of this generation have a 50% claim of Cherokee blood.


Children: (limited information)

  • Joseph (02CR1) Parks, (c1743, MD – 1816, TN), m. Ruth Douglas (1757, MD – 1828, TN), 1776, perhaps Montgomery Co., VA.  Ten children.  The children’s birth places could be indicative of the journey from Maryland down to Tennessee.  Montgomery County, Virginia (in 1776) was a far larger territory than today and they could have journeyed there for a bit on the way to Tennessee.

  • Mary “Polly” (02CR2) Parks, (c1751, MD – 1821, MD), m. Col. William David Winchester (1750, MD – 1812, MD) 30 October 1771, Carroll County, MD. Thirteen children.

  • James (02CR3) Parks, (c1756, MD - ??).  Remained in Frederick County, MD up to at least the 1790 Census.  Nothing further known.

  • William  (02CR4) Parks,  (c1758, MD – 1819, TN), m. Chloe Green (1762, MD – ??) 30 March 1782, Baltimore, MD. One child.

  • Philip (02CR5) Parks, (c1750, MD - ??). m. Elizabeth Margaret Hennestoffel (1750, MD – 1850, ??)  Date and place of marriage is unknown. Two children  known.
