“John Parks II was born probably in Burlington County, N.J., and was possibly the John Parks who died in 1758 (near Cumberland, Md.), while serving in a unit of the Virginia Militia during the French and Indian War. John II married a woman named Mary, who died circa 1773. Either her maiden name was Davis, or, after John’s death, she remarried a man who was surnamed Davis. They received a Fairfax grant in Parks Valley, Hampshire County.”
