Kaye: Although no relationship stated in the deed between the CRAVENSTINES
of KY, and James CALDWELL of PA, it is likely Joseph PARKS was the eldest son
of Arthur and Rebecca (CULBERTSON) PARKS.

Joseph was born 31 Jan 1764 and died in Franklin Co., OH, 13 Oct 1818. He
married Jane CULBERTSON, daughter of Col. Robert CULBERTSON, son of "Irish"
Andrew. Joseph and Jane were first cousins and apparently had no children.

Their marriage is based on:
1) The Franklin Co., OH, will of Joseph PARKS which left to his wife Jane,
the land his father-in-law Robert CULBERTSON gave him.

2) The will of Robert Culbertson naming his daughter Jane Parks and her
