About Richard Parks
Not the son of Richard Park & Margery Parke
The position of the Parke Society regarding a "son" Richard:
(proven through the Parke Society's paternal DNA project)
"The Karl Eaton Parks volumes represent a lineage which descends from Richard's 'son' Richard to a third generation Richard, generally known as Lt. Richard Parks, and DNA testing has confirmed the suspicions that these two Richards were NOT connected to the immigrant Richard [arr. 1635]. Lt. Richard Parks does NOT match Richard [arr. 1635] genetically." -Ken Parks, President of the Parke Society and manager of the Parke Society's paternal DNA project, July 2014

The paternal DNA project of the Parke Society has proven that this other Richard had no familial relationship with Richard Park who arrived aboard the 'Defence' in 1635.

Richard (2R1) (ca. 1628 – ca. 1711) m. Mary (Unknown), two children known. There is some debate as to the existance of this Richard: F.S. Parks deals with this in his Massachusettes volume on this line. Descendants of this line have a Lineage Key of R1 in the membership database.
in England prob. before 1628. 1635 came to America. Lived in Sherborn, Cambridge, Corcord, and Weston.
There appears to be genetic evidence that this Richard was NOT the son of Richard, "The position of the Parke Society regarding a "son" Richard: (proven through the Parke Society's paternal DNA project) "The Karl Eaton Parks volumes represent a lineage which descends from Richard’s 'son' Richard to a third generation Richard, generally known as Lt. Richard Parks, and DNA testing has confirmed the suspicions that these two Richards were NOT connected to the immigrant Richard [arr. 1635]. Lt. Richard Parks does NOT match Richard [arr. 1635] genetically." -Ken Parks, President of the Parke Society and manager of the Parke Society's paternal DNA project, July 2014
As the paternal DNA project of the Parke Society has proven that this other Richard had no familial relationship with Richard Park who arrived aboard the 'Defence' in 1635, PLEASE do not link a "son" Richard to this memorial. Thank you." https://old.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=119613457
This aligns with Richard Park Sr's will which refers to his "only son Thomas."
