I have no information the Job PARKS #100583, son of Arthur Job PARKS #100444 died in KY. Therefore I assume that this marriage to a Nancy HART has been eronneously assinged to Job PARKS #100583.
[:TAB:]Furthermore, MilesFiles only mentions one marriage for Job (to Rhoda EVANS).

Job Parks (Jr.) died before 17 May 1847 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA.^1,3
      ;
I have a couple of concerns about this Job PARKS.
     1. Some family trees show that he was married 1) Rhoda EVANS and 2) Nancy HART. However, there are a Job PARKS and Nancy (HART) PARKS buried in Mason Co., KY, though other report that this Job PARKS died in Somerset Co., MD.
     The marriage record for a Job PARKS and a Nancy HART shows their marriage in Dorcehster Co., MD. The 1800 census for Dorchester Co., MD has a Job PARKS with a woman in the household too young to have been Rhoda (EVANS) PARKS, but of the appoximately right age to have been Nancy (HART) PARKS.
     The 1810 census for Dorchester Co., MD has a Job PARKS with a woman in the household approximately the right age to have been Rhoda (EVANS) PARKS, but too old to have been Nancy (HART) PARKS.
     The 1820, 1830 and 1840 censuses all see to me to be the correct Job and Rhoda (EVANS) PARKS in that the ages are appropriate. Also, there is an 1819 deed by Job PARKS and Rhoda "his wife" that establishes there residence as Tangier Island, Accomack Co., VA.
