• Notes

  Jehiel time line I believe that Jehiel is Jehiel Joel son of Daniel and Lydia baptized in 1779 in Connecticut. He was in Saratoga, New York with his first wife in 1790 and in Scipio, Cayuga, New York with her and 1 son and 2 daughters in 1800. He moved to Cato/Sterling in 1807 and is on the 1810 census of Cato as Joel with 2 sons, 4 daughters and new wife Hannah. In 1820 he is in Sterling with 3 sons and 4 daughters. In 1830 he is in Sterling with 3 sons and 3 daughters and he sold his land and moved to Indiana in 1836. It is likely that his first 3 children were married by 1810, 3 more daughters married by 1820, and 1 more daughter married by 1830 making 7 married and 6 at home assuming none died. If they all went west with him that would be a large family if spouces and grandchildren are counted.

Land in town of Sterling bought and sold Jehiel Parks purchased lot #26 containing 50 acres and 2 square rods for $750 from John M McFaddin and wife Mary on 20 Apr 1820. He and wife Hannah sold the land 8 March 1836 to Isom Hoppins for $800. I also have a land patent taken in Fort Wayne 24 April 1820 for Johial Parks for 160 acres in Allen County, Section 7, township 32-N (Cedar Creek, Springfield, Scipio) range 15 E. Parks in Manlius John Park a veteran of the war of 1812 lived in Manilas. His father was Joseph Park and mother was Chloe. Mary Parks wife of Francis D Minor of Huntington Indiana Mary was born in Rhode Island 1798, Francis in Connecticut, their children in New York. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6QMQ-7MR?i=95&cc=1401638 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XXJ3-D97 Some Email Notes on the Parks of Saratoga and Scipio There were two Jehiel Parks in NY Albany Co. census of 1790, 051 02-01=04-00-00, and 040 01-00-01-00-00. I received this information from Suzanne Dorrough, 21 Sept 1998: Jehiel Parks came to Saratoga County with the Connecticut land company otherwise known as the Canaan Church Group of Stillwater, New York. He settled near his wifes family in Maltaville. His home was just east in the vicinity of the present Kokinda Farm which lies between Knapp Rd and County route 67. As I stated he married Mary Hunter 1st child of John and Rebecca Hunter. The Parks and Hunteer families were associated in Voluntown, Connecticut before Saratoga County. Jehiel also had a sister Sarah who became the wife of Mary's brother Robert Hunter. The children of Jehiel and Mary were: Lydia-m-Levi Jacobs Hannah-m-?Fish John-m-E Hooper Patrick-m-W Coan Esther-m-J Gilbert I have not verified any of this but she says it is well documented in the Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa, NY. In The History of Saratoga County, Gresham, 1893, page 620 there is a biography of Solomon Augustus Parks. It says that Elijah Parks came from Salisbury, Conn between 1756 and 1766 with several sons, some already married, and purchased 800 acres at South Glen Falls. In 1776 they were attacked by Tories and Indians and Elijah and his son Elisha were killed. The survivors went to Fort Edward returning when the danger was past. One of Elijah Parks sons was Daniel, the grandfather of Solomon Augustus Parks. I have another record of a Daniel Parke born in Groton, Conn 12 Apr 1719 married Ann Chapman 28 July 1741, children: Daniel, Jehiel, Anna, Lydia, Elisha and Rhoda. Daniel Parke 2nd, married Lydia Marvin with children: Joel Jehiel, Esther, Ephraim, Solomon, Benjamin, and Sylvia. This rendition of the story has Daniel and his son Elisha killed by the Tories and Indians while the rest of the family goes to Fort Edward but this story has more details.. Benjamin, son of Daniel, Jr. is my third great grandfather, his full name is Benjamin Marvin Parks, of Moreau (Glenfalls), Saratoga. He married Lucy Lord, and their first son's name was Jehiel, born abt 1797. They moved to Scipio, Cayuga, New York then to Williamson, Ontario (Wayne Co), NY. Their last three children were born in Williamson-Orasmus, Delany, and Harrison. I cannot find Lucy Lord's parents, but know that she is related to a Joseph Lord, Holt Lord, Mathew Lord, Jerusha Lord, Thester Holbrook, Asa Williams. Lucy came from Sharon, Litchfield, Conn or was born in Moreau, Saratoga, NY abt 1772 to 1775. Any info about the Lords would be gratefully received. This is a very late reply (2011) to your 2004 post. BUT just in case anyone is still interested: There may be a link to the migration of this Parks family branch: I find a "Jehiel/Jahial Parks AND Harrison Parks in a lawsuit in Solon, IA: Iowa District Court Records 1839-1841, Iowa State Historical Society Box 2, p. 132 cont. Thomas Ford vs. John West. Mentions Jehiel and Harrison Parks. Others have speculated--as do I--that this Jehiel and his brother Harrison, migrated from Scipio, Cayuga Co. NY to Chautauqua Co. NY and then--I believe--to Solon, Johnson Co. IA. (See also my web page: http://www.westerly-journeys.com/BigGrove/TextFam.html#details.) My interest is to determine of the above-mentioned John West also came to Solon from Scipio by way of Chautauqua Co. On Sterling, New York The region was formerly part of the territory of the Onondaga, one of the original five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. However, as allies of the defeated British, they were forced to cede most of their lands in New York to the state after the Revolutionary War. This land was part of the Central New York Military Tract, which was divided and granted as pay to veteran soldiers of the Revolution. The first European-American settler, Pierre Dumas (also recorded as Peter DeMass), arrived in 1805. Sterling was formed in 1812 from the town of Cato.
