;
MilesFiles cites:[S564] Pollitt, Roy - Som Co Marriages 1796-1871, (Decorah, Iowa: The Anundsen Publishing Co, 1986), 564.
Thomas Parks died before 12 August 1852 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
Per MilesFiles, in his 12 Aug 1852 will, his father, Charles PARKS, mentioned two deceased sons and FIVE deceased daughters, including: Thomas, Charles (Jr.), Polly BRADSHAW, Sally THOMAS, Britannah MISTER, Alisey BLAKE, and Jemima EVANS.
MilesFiles cites: [S2233] Dryden, Ruth - Som Wills, 1837-1859, (Ruth T. Dryden, 2414 Front St. #25, San Diego, CA 92101), p. 54 (will of Charles Parks), 2233.1,2
Thomas 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).

Alicey 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).
p. 433, line 6
Alicey Parks is mentioned in the will of Charles Parks on 12 August 1852 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;

There are three PARKS households on this census page:

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).

Jacob 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).

Brittania Parks was born circa 1808 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA.1 She married Bennett Mister on 13 August 1828 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA,
;
His 1st of 2 wives.2
Brittania Parks died before 12 August 1852 at Somerset Co., Maryland, USA;
She was listed as "deceased" in her father's will of this date.1
Brittania 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).
