Sally Parks was listed as a resident in Charles Parks and Brittania Bradshaw's household in the census report on 7 August 1820 at Election District 3, Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
1820 United States Federal Census
There are three PARKS households on this census page:
Line     Name
4     John PARKS <-- father of Reuben #71532 (line 8) and Charles #100471 (line 6)
6     Charles PARKS <-- Son of John PARKS #100438 (line 4), brother of Reuben #71532 (line 8)
8     Ruben PARKS <-- Son of John PARKS #100438 (line 4), brother of Charles #100471 (line 6)
     In the 1820 and 1830 censuses, Reuben's father is listed as "John PARKS". In the 1820 census (p. 433, line 4). The same tree also shows two brothers of Reuben named Charles PARKS (1755-1753) and John PARKS (1778-1862), so these other two PARKS households are likely related to Reuben: his father and brother or two brothers.
     Interestingly, there is a William CROSWELL (line 7) on the same page, who could be a relative of Ruben's wife Priscilla (CROSWELL).
There are also four EVANS households on the same page:
Line     Name
16     Elizabeth EVANS
17     Zachariah EVANS
18     Sarah EVANS
19     Peter EVANS
     Some Ancestry family trees such as the Craig Family Tree show Reuben Parks' mother to have been an EVANS: Mary Polly EVANS (1761-1832, dau. of a Richard EVANS (1738-1824). Mary Polly EVANS married Reuben's father, John Charles PARKS (1756-1847).
