GENEALOGY
(Mere speculation that in 1692 Thomas Parks was given "so much land as he may use" in Virginia by Simon Miller who may have had a daughter named Sarah. No proof that this was our Thomas Parks (of Ballingers Mountain) who died in Albemarle County, Virginia in 1761)
(Mere speculation as the Graves Family did live or were in close proximity to the Parks Family across Virginia and on into North Carolina)
(Mere speculation by Charles C. Hayes in his book "Hayes, Johnson and Allied Families Genealogical Family History. The information in this book which was widely distributed should never be used unless thoroughly checked)
No documented proof has ever been found of any descendents of Charles Parks, son of Thomas Parks I of Virginia.
(In Nugents Immigrants to Virginia "Cavaliers and Pioneers" alone, there were at least thirty two Park/Parke/Parks/Parkes imported into Virginia at dates making it possible for them to be the father of our Thomas Parks I. There were other lists of Parks importations in the same area at the same time, making it mind boggling to trace them out with very few records. Therefore the widely circulated therory that our Thomas Parks was the immigrant has never been proven)
(Mere speculation as a Richard Blanton left a will in Spotsylvania County, Virginia in 1733 with one of the heirs being a daughter Priscilla Blanton. This has been widely circulated on the Internet and other places)
(No descendants of this couple have ever been proven, although widely distributed by LDS and others. Especially LDS Ancestral File number YJ85-DJ which lists some 130 descendants, many of who belong to other proven Parks families. This list also includes two Reuben Parks and two Moses Parks who are a very grey area in the minds of many Parks researchers, including this oversight committee)
(Thomas Parks and his wife Sarah were still married and living together with ten grown children when this marriage took place in the early 1800's)
(Widely circulated on the Internet and with Hoot scratched out and Carringer taped over with scotch tape in the Charles C. Hayes Book above)
