Dear Diana,

 

I think you will see from this response that a list of names appears simple, but gathering the correct information from our sources can be complex. This has been quite interesting, actually. I hope it will be of help to you.

 

From the family relationships section listed on page 37, Cooperstown Cemetery: “The Parks or Parke families in this cemetery represent four families of the Daniel and Minerva (Adams) Parks marriage: 1) Absolom A. Parks & wife, Sarah Robinson, 2) John S. Parks (died age 20), 3) Amos M. Parks & wife Catherine Mobley, and 4) Rev. Elihu Parks & wife Eliza. The listing describes every member of the family who is buried in Cooperstown cemetery, but it is rather hard to understand, due to poor punctuation, and the repetition of some names.

 

I have included pieces of information from the Parks Family Listing, on p. 598-599. These are marked with an (*), and generally represent small things like names replacing initials. The listing on pp. 598-599 is for the descendants of Absolom A. and Amos only.

 

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
