Robert (01ES1) Park

(c1790, NJ – 1835, NJ) (Represented)  m. Eva R. Swackhammer/Swackheimer (1791, NJ – 1856, IL) 1810, Warren County, NJ. 10 children. 

Recent research has taken this lineage back one generation. It was previously identified as Robert Reeve & Sarah Elizabeth (Scott) Park. Researchers have tried to identify this lineage as belonging to Roger “K”, Alexander “KY” or even Richard “R” or as an immigrant line of a Joseph & Martha (Ansely) Park from England. At this point we deem all those predecessors as being purely speculative.
