Four siblings, John (02KU1), Weldon E. (02KU3), Caroline (02KU2), and Anna (02KU4) Parks, constitute pretty much all that we know of this Lineage Key. The two descendant members report their father as “Old Major Parks of Philadelphia”  (marked as 01KU1 in our lineage system) who married Jane, purportedly a “black woman” (the 1850 Census defines her as mulatto.  No other information is known about them.  The children’s birth dates range from 1814 to 1832 so a good guess would say that the Old Major married sometime around 1813-1814, and perhaps was born in the time period of maybe 1764 to 1794.  As for Jane one might guess that she could not have born before say 1792.  No yDNA has been done on this line which would be extremely helpful.
