I knew he was born in TN to Nancy Weese Parks, but in the 1890’s Nancy was living in Rose Hill, VA with John Wesley Parks according to census. My father, George, was born at Rose Hill in 1891. For some unknown reason, they relocated to Livingston, Ky where he remained until he died in 1954. He is buried in Parks cemetery out by Lamero, KY alongside his first wife, Margaret Goins Parks, who was from the Rose Hill, VA originally. Since Nancy’s first husband, James, died in the Civil War, he could not have been the biological parent of my grandfather John Wesley, born 4 years after his death. Nancy, on the other hand, continued having children without marriage until Cara was her last in 1877. Rumor in our family was that the biological father of my grandpa, John Wesley Parks, was someone whose last name was Eaton.

My husband (the Shubert descendant) does believe that Charles and Robert were brothers. There was a Christopher, too, I believe that came through South Carolina, wasn't there? I'd love to share information and see if we can fill in some blanks.

I believe I have found their families, but more research is needed. I wish the early census had names verses a range of dates for it would make it earier.

I found the Plemons story fascinating and the people of East Tennessee loving, idiosyncratic, and passionate. Oh, yes, and Carol, I was wrong about this taking place in Roane County (even though a lot of our ancestors are from there).
