Nathan Parke

It is estimated that Nathan Park/e was born ca 1715-1717, was married ca 1740, and died ca 1784-85

There is a record of the baptisms of two of his children, Sarah and Richard, on 5 Feb 1769, in a locality that was then in Hunterdon County. By that time Charles was a married man, and he was later baptized on 10 May 1770. It is these records which give information on which the estimates of Nathan's birth and marriage are based. His children were born in the following order: Charles, Sarah, Joseph, and Richard.

A few years after the baptisms, both Nathan and his son Charles had moved their families to North Carolina. By 1778, both Nathan and Charles were on the Tax List of Capt. Cox's district, in Rowan Co., N.C. Nathan was still on the Tax List of Carson's District of Rowan Co. However, by 1784, he was in failing health. In June, he wrote a will stating that he was "sick and weak in body." At that time, his wife Mary and his four children were alive. Charles, his son, and "Anna Todd" were the witnesses. The beneficiaries included his wife, Sarah Smith, Richard, Joseph, and Charles.

Roger Parke Jr. was born in 1683 Burlington County NJ. His parents were Roger PARKE Sr. and Ann PATTISON. He did NOT marry Susannah ROBINSON about 1698 in Crosswicks Creek New Jersey.. The name of his wife is unknown. Some mistaken information having to do with a will of a Thomas Robinson got this started but it has no basis in truth, having been researched extensively by many Parke family researchers. It has also been speculated that his wife was Jane Stout or a woman named Hannah before 1704, but this also is just speculation – so his wife’s name is unknown. Roger died in 1755 in Hunterdon County, NJ.
