As presented by member, this lineage starts with a Hiram (01MU1) Parks, (c1765, MD – c1835, TN) (Represented)  m. Lucy Vaughn (1774, MO – 1829, ??)  1799, Caswell Co., NC.  Four children have been noted.  There is a possibility that this Hiram is the same as the Hiram (02GU3) son of Col. Robert and Mary Molly (Fuller) Parks. yDNA testing would be useful. 

Children:

• Christopher C (02MU1) Parks,  (c. 1811, NC – ??), m. Maltilda  (surname unknown) (c1807, TN or VA – ??), c. 1835, possibly TN.   Seven children. 

• Robert  (02MU2) Parks, (c1816, ?? – ??). Nothing further known.

• Sarah  (02MU3) Parks (c1825, NC – ??). Nothing further known.  Probably a twin.

• Mary (02MU4) Parks (c1825, NC – ??). Nothing further known.  Probably a twin.

The problem arises with the third generation as shown in the member’s application.  John Christopher (03MU1) Parks, (1848, AR – 1905, MO).  Member reports him as son of Christopher C .(2MU1) Parks.  On the other hand, some researchers identify him as the son of  Sgt. Theophilus Marshall “Dink” (05C2435) & Martha Jane (Jameson) Parks, a descendant of the Thomas of Virginia line.  Unfortunately, while the Theophilus’ group sheet does show a John C. Parks, there is no further collaborating evidence to make a positive identification.  At this time we are just making a footnote of this possibility.
