Col. Robert (01GU1) Parks
(c1740, MD – 1810, NC) (Represented) m. Mary Molley Fuller (c.1745, MD – 1816, NC) 1761, St. George Parish, Baltimore, MD. There were 12 or more children, but the list is a little confused. Shown here is the general consensus of the issue of Robert and Mary. There have been some guesses as to Col. Robert’s heritage, the most probably being that his ancestry hails from Ireland. This line has now been traced back one further generation than originally recorded.
