Analysis: This census household matches the elder Job PARKS Sr. #100444 and his wife Mary (BRADSHAW) PARKS #100445, who died in 1800 or soon thereafter, or even an unmarried daughTer (e.g., Mary PARKS b 1752), in the event that Mary had died prior to the census date of 4 August 1800. The older male listed couldhave been Job PARKS Jr. #100583, but the woman is too old to have been his wife Rhoda (EVANS) PARKS (b ca 1770.)11,12,7,13

There is disagreement among verious sources as to whom Arthur PARKS #100450 married and who mothered his five known children: Arabella TYLER #100451 or Sarah MNU #100626. (See the mariage tags for each to find these sources).

     -- Only one of my sources, cites any source for its informatoin, MilesFiles 23.0 cites: [S481] Pauline Manning Batchelder, Batchelder, Somerset Sampler, (Lower Delmarva, Genealogical Society, 1994), 481.
     -- All sources I have found show only one marriage for Arthur and only one marriage for either of the proposed wives.

After some thought, I have decided to link Sarah MNU #100626 as the mother of his children simp;y because of MileFiles 23.0.

     "Thomas arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1612 on the ship "Susan" at age 24. He was a member of the first House of Burgesses in Jamestown in 1619. He left there and went to Accomack County, evidently to supervise the making of salt. He was in their Tithables List in 1623 and 1629. He was deeded land on Smith's Island between 1638 and 1640. His wife's name is not recorded."

Richard "Young Dickey" Evans and Richard "Old Dickie" Evans appeared in the census of 1800 at Accomack Co., Virginia, USA;
Listings are found in the 1800 federal census for Richard EVANS in both Accomack Co., VA and in the census location of "Islands", Somerset Co., MD. Accomack Cu. and Somerset Co. border each other and each includes several Chesapeake Bay islands where these families lived, including Tangier Island in Accomack Co., and Smith Island in Somerset Co. However the borders of the two counties were last surveyed in 1924. I have not information on whether the EVANS family I am investigating, specifically Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 and his son Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464, were listed as being in the Accomack Co., VA records compiled by Ancestry or in the Somerset Co, MD images that were filmed and are also posted by Ancestry.
     There are four Richard EVANS listed in the 1800 census in VA and four in MD. There are no household age or gender details in the Ancestry compiled census records, so it is impossible to determine which Richrads these listings mght relate to.
     I would like to believe that Accomack was small enough that at least two of these were Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 and his son Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464, both of who were alive in 1800 and apparently living in Accomack Co. (based on other evidence.

Richard "Old Dickie" Evans appeared as Head of Household on the census of 4 August 1800 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
Listings are found in the 1800 federal census for Richard EVANS in both Accomack Co., VA and in the census location of "Islands", Somerset Co., MD. Accomack Cu. and Somerset Co. border each other and each includes several Chesapeake Bay islands where these families lived, including Tangier Island in Accomack Co., and Smith Island in Somerset Co. However the borders of the two counties were last surveyed in 1924. I have no information on whether the EVANS family I am investigating, specifically Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 and his son Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464, were listed as being in the Accomack Co., VA records compiled by Ancestry or in the Somerset Co, MD images that were filmed and are also posted by Ancestry. I have also identified a third Richard EVANS #100521 who was aparently on Smith Island in Somerset Co., MD in 1800. This third Richard was the first counsin once removed of Richard #100440 and second cousing of Richard #100464 (and first cousin of his wife !). I don't have enough information on this third Richard's household to evaluate in a detailedmanner, but it is highly likely that he is one of four Richard EVANS record here.
     Futhermore, there are eight other EVANS households on this page (for a total of twelve), two PARKS households, and one CROCKETT household, out of a total of 26 householdsoln the page. To put this in some perspective:
-- There are only another five housholds on the next page, apparently also from the "Islands." for a total of only thirty-one families at this location:
-- EVANS: Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 had four EVANS brothers and an EVANS uncle all alive at in 1800 and possibly living in the same area.
-- PARKS: Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 had two PARKS brothers-in-law and two PARKS son-in-laws, possibly lliing in the same area.
-- CROCKETT: Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 (who had a CROCKETT wife), had a CROCKETT brother-in-law and a CROCKETTT son-inl-law, possibly lliing in the same area.

     There are three Richard EVANS listed in the 1800 census in Somerset Co., MD. and and one Richard EVANS "Jr.". All four listings are on the same census page.The census images show the age/gender breakdowns for the four households reported in MD. The age/gender data allow us to identify one of the four as possibly Richard Sr #100440 and XXX as possibly Richard Jr. #100464. In 1800:
-- Richard Sr #100440 was b ca 1738, thus ca 62 years old in 1800, and therefore falling in the 1800 census age group of "Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over"
-- Richard Jr. #100464 was b ca 1765, thus ca 35 years old in 1800, and therefore falling in the 1800 census age group of Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44

     Their wives also provide information to possibly identify the corect households:
-- Richard Sr #100440 was at the time married to Mary "Molly" CROCKETT, b c1748, thus ca 52 years old in 1800, and therefore falling in the 1800 census age group of "Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over"
-- Richard Jr. #100464. was at the time married to Rachel "Betanna" EVANS, b c1776, thus ca 24 years old in 1800, and therefore falling in the 1800 census age group of "Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25"

     Based on the ages of the oldest male in each household, only one of the MD listings might be Richard Sr #100440 (Census Listing #1), but it is a poor match. Paradoxically, this is the one listing for a "Richard EVANS Jr." The other three listings might be Richard Jr. #100464 based on the recorded ages for the oldest male in the household. However, the oldest female enumberated in Census Listing #1 is recorded too young to have been Richard Sr #100440's wife, Mary (CROCKETT).
     Of the remaining three census llistings, Listing #2 is in my assessment the best, though imperfect match for Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464. Listing #4 is a possible match (except for the large number o fmissing children. Listing #4 is in my assessment the least likely match for Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464.

Analysis: If one assumes that Richard #100464 might have ad three unmarried sisters or some unidentified daughters, this household seems close to the fact I have recorded so far for Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464.

Analysis: This household could also match Richard #100464,except for the fact that this Richard apparently had four or five chilren born by 1800 (3 sons and 1 or 2 daughters) and is would have been odd that so many small chilren would have been left out.

Analysis: This listing is similar to Listing #2 (above), with one fewer matching child and a missing young daughter (Rachel b. c1798) and missing young son (Teagle c1796 or Peter 1799 - only one son of this is recorded).10

Richard "Old Dickie" Evans appeared as Head of Household on the census of 1810 at Islands, Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
Listings for a Richard EVANS are found ijn both the Accomack Co., VA and in "Islands", Somerset Co., MD. these counties border each other and each includes several Chesapeake Bay islands where these families lived, including Smith Island and Tangier Island. Today, Smith Island is in Somerset Co., MD, while Tangier Island is in Accomack Co., VA. However the borders of the two counties were last surveyed in 1924. I have not information on whether the EVANS family I am investigating, specifically Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 and his son Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464, were listed as being in the Accomack Co., VA records compiled by Ancestry or in the Somerset Co, MD images that were filmed and are also posted by Ancestry. I have also identified a third Richard EVANS #100521 who was aparently on Smith Island in Somerset Co., MD in 1800.
     There are four Richard EVANS listed in the 1800 census in VA and four in MD.
-- Four are reported in the Ancestry compiled census in Accomack Col., VA.
-- Four are reported in Ancestry's scanned census images in "Islands", Somerset Co., MD.

There are no details in the Ancestry compiled census records, so it is impossible to determine which Richrads these listings mght relate to. The census images do show the age/gender breakdowns for the four households reported in MD.
     I would like to believe that Accomack was small enough that at least two of these were Richard "Old Dickie" EVANS #100440 and his son Richard "Young Dickie" EVANS #100464, both of who were alive in 1800 and apparently living in Accomack Co. (based on other evidence.
     The age/gender data allow us to identify XXX of the four as possibly Richard Sr #100440 and Richard Jr. #100464. In 1800:
-- Richard Sr #100440 was b ca 1738 and ca 62
-- Richard Jr. #100464 was b ca 1765 and ca 35

Based on the ages of the oldest male in each household, one of the MD listings might be Richard Sr #100440 (Listing #1). The other three listings might be Richard Jr. #100464. The ages of the the oldest female help sort the listings further.

;
Per MilesFiles: Date of marriage was ca 1790. However, Walczyk says: Job Parks of Arthur elder and Mary Parks son Job Parks married Rhoda EVANS of Richard circa 1785 (Accomack County Virginia Wills., Accomack County Court House (Accomac VA.), 13:20 (hereafter cited as Accomack County, Will Book).

Rhoda "Rhody" Evans appeared on the census of 4 August 1800 in the household of Job Parks (Sr.) and Mary G. Bradshaw at Dividing Creek, Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
I do not always know if these records are for Job Sr. #100444 or Job Jr.#100583. There may have been multiple "Job PARKS, which might explain the existence of contemporaneous records from both Somerset Co., MD and Accomack Co., VA."

     There is also a "Jobe" PARKS listed in the 1800 federal census for Dividing Creek, Somerset Co., MD. This is an older Job (45 or more), next to a William EVANS. and on the page before John CROCKETT #100486. (The PARKS, EVANS, and CROCKETT families intermarried numerous times).

Analysis: This census household matches the elder Job PARKS Sr. #100444 and his wife Mary (BRADSHAW) PARKS #100445, who died in 1800 or soon thereafter, or even an unmarried daughTer (e.g., Mary PARKS b 1752), in the event that Mary had died prior to the census date of 4 August 1800. The older male listed couldhave been Job PARKS Jr. #100583, but the woman is too old to have been his wife Rhoda (EVANS) PARKS (b ca 1770.)8,9,6,10

Rhoda "Rhody" Evans and Job Parks (Jr.) appeared in the census of 1810 at Dorchester Co., Maryland, USA;
NB: The age of the older woman in this listing (26-44) is correct for it to have been Rhoda (EVNS) PARKS #100466.
