Subject: [PARKS] Wesley Parks, b. 1850
Date: Thu, 08 May 2003 18:55:03 -0700


Have any of you on the list found a Wesley Parks, born 1850 in MI in your
searches? Wesley's mother was Caroline [maiden name unknown but might be
Bears/Behrs] and she married Ebenezer Parks about 1847/49.

Caroline was born about 1829 in Ohio. Ebenezer died in 1851 and Caroline
was still in Lenawee County, MI until about 1853. I believe that she
probably remarried but have not found her. With her might have been
step-children born in Ohio: John [b. 1839] and Margaret [b. 1837].

Wesley is found in 1880 in Dubuque, Dubuque Co., Iowa and had been married
in about 1872 to Henrietta M. [last name not known]. Wesley and Henrietta
are again found in 1910 and 1920 in Maple Plain, Barron County, Wisconsin.
Apparently, they died sometime between 1920 and 1930 [or else moved totally
away from the area]. Wesley and Henriette had no children.

I am very anxious to find Caroline as well as John and Margaret. I would
expect that the family would be found somewhere between Lenawee County, MI
and Dubuque Co., Iowa - but that is the closest I can narrow it.

Help appreciated.
