Lewis Ralston 1804 SC===GA---Looking for grave---orbit

tom123s97 — 5 Jan 2009 5:46:21 GMT

I can not find the orbit, death record or grave location of Lewis Ralston. (Rolston) (Rawlston) (Ralstan) born about 1804 in South Carolina. Most of his life he lived in Lumpkin or Gilmer Counties, Georgia. Father:John Tate Ralston. Wife:Elizabeth (Kell) Ralston. Lewis would have died after 1870. The 1870 census (LDS site) shows Lewis Rolston and his family living in Whitfield County, Georgia. Post Office---Dalton,Ga.

He was the Lewis Ralston that had quite a bit to do with the gold discovery and mining at or near Dahlonega, Georgia starting in about 1828.
He is also credited with finding the first gold in the area of Denver Colorado in 1850 on his way to California.
I have searched the Internet and I havn't been able to find the place or date of his death.

He was the older brother of my GGGrandfather Captain (CSA) Samuel M. Ralston. (1825-1877 Fannin County,Ga.) Lewis was in the CSA also. 11th Infantry (Home Guard---State Troops)
Thanks for any help. Contact Tom tom123s97@yahoo.com

Just in time for Christmas!--Reduced DNA test prices til December 31, 2008

kenparks — 17 Dec 2008 1:39:58 GMT

For anyone who has been considering DNA testing, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), the testing firm used by the Park/e/s surname project, has announced reduced prices for some of their tests. These prices are in effect for tests ordered and paid for by December 31, 2008. Test kits do not have to be completed by that date, only ordered and paid for to qualify for the lower group rate. Tests must be ordered through a surname group to qualify for these prices.

The Y-DNA37 is, in my opinion, the most useful test for our purposes, though some may desire the mitochondrial test as well or testing at the 67 marker level—entirely up to the participant to choose which test they want.

Y-DNA37: $119 after Dec 31: $149
Y-DNA37+mtDNAPlus: $199 after Dec 31: $278
Y-DNA67: $218 after Dec 31: $248
Y-DNA67+mtDNAPlus: $308 after Dec 31: $377
mtDNAPlus: $139 after Dec 31: $149
Full Genomic mtDNA: $395 after Dec 31: $449
SuperDNA: $613 after Dec 31: $695

To order a test and join the Park/e/s DNA surname project, go to:

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/park-e-s/

Click on the link on the left side of the homepage marked, “Request to join this group”

With reduced prices, a DNA test kit makes a great gift idea! If you have any questions or need help ordering, feel free to contact me. My email is on the top of the homepage of the Park/e/s DNA Surname Project.

George Parks, Roane co TN (b 1774, VA) and Samuel Moore

janecdebenport — 7 Sep 2008 2:51:02 GMT

I am seeking information about the George Parks (wife Elizabeth) who was born in VA c 1774 (1850 census Roane co TN). The family was in Roane co TN by 1830. George and Elizabeth had a daughter Ann E. Parks (b c 1808 in GA)who married Samuel Moore 25 June 1826 in Roane co TN. Samuel Moore filed for divorce from Ann 17 Sept 1827. The divorce was granted in 1835. The marriage/divorce records are all I have found about Samuel Moore except that he appears in the Roane co TN census in 1840. He is between 60 and 70 years old. With him are 3 females: 1 1-15; 1 30-40; and 1 60-70. I have some information on the descendants of George Parks. I THINK that Samuel Moore and Ann Parks had two children: Serephina and Andrew Jackson Moore. Although Samuel swore in the divorce papers that he had not fathered any children by Ann, both of these children carried his surname. I MAY be descended from A. J. Moore (b TN in 1829). My cousin has just taken a DNA test. If "our" Andrew Jackson Moore is the Jackson Moore presumed son of Samuel of Roane co, then Jackson is indeed a Moore. The DNA checks out.

"Our" Andrew Jackson Moore married Amanda Arantha Eubanks (daughter of James Eubanks and Frances Massey)who were in Murray co GA. Jackson Moore was a schoolteacher who taught the younger Eubanks children. The whole Eubanks family (including Jackson and Amanda Moore) moved in 1859 to Greene co AR. A. J. Moore and Amanda and children are in Green co AR in the 1860 census. A. J. Moore was conscripted into the CSA - and died of disease about 3 months later (this was just before 1863).

Can anyone help us with this line? The only A.J. Moore I can find who was born in 1829 in TN - and who is not accounted for in later census work - is this Jackson Moore who was living with George and Elizabeth Parks (maternal grandparents?) in Roane co TN in 1850.

I have worked in Roane co - and have gathered information on the Moore families there. I just can't put "our" group together! Jane

My grandparents collected old sewing machines so since i have not been able to connect her to my family, i am thinking this may have been in one of them. I also found a "reward of merit" presented to George Parks by Teacher _ _ila Rankin (no date). If you can connect this to your family and would like me to e-mail these to you, you can contact me at aeva.love@yahoo.com -Alex

Looking for Conly Parks in AA Co MD

leupi — 6 Jul 2008 6:14:46 GMT

I am looking for information on a 'Conly (or Connelly) Parks, born abt 1840 in MD and married to 'Pinky' (unknown maiden name). I found mention of him in the 1880 census, District 8, AA Co, and possibly in the 1860 census as Connelly Parks but cannot verify that.

They had numerous children, including a son, George Conly Parks (wife: Margaret Lyles Paddy), who also had many children, including my grandfather, Alfred Perrie Parks.

If anyone has any info about this person I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Todd

Two George Washington Parks and two Samuel Parks

slpearson16 — 1 Jan 2008 8:56:42 GMT

Hi all.

I am trying to track down and verify some family stories about Cherokee blood in the family and about Native Americans coming up to my great-grandfather or great-great grandfather and claiming he was family.

This side of the line descends from a George Washington Parks, b. 1838 in Indiana. His father was a Zephaniah Parks, b. 1792, supposedly in New York. He had an older brother by the name of Samuel Parks. Zephaniah's nickname was Seth. I have no further information on my Samuel Parks.

There is a George Washington Parks who was born in 1820 in Tennessee who was supposedly at one time the head of the Cherokee nation and at least half-native American by his mother. His father was Samuel Parks, b. 1789 in Tennessee, and who married a full-blooded Native American woman by the name of Susannah Fox Taylor, according to genealogies here on Rootsweb.

The question I have, does anyone have anything about siblings of the Samuel Parks b. 1789 in Tennessee? If this Samuel Parks is the brother of my Zephaniah Parks, it would explain the stories about Native Americans claiming my Nebraska ancestors were family.

please reply to pearsonscott2@qwest.net or spearson1492@yahoo.com. The friedjackmorgan is an old email address and name that started out as a kind of joke.

Much thanks and Happy New Year,

Scott

Frederick Parks b Kent, Lincolnshire, Eng 1824 marr Caroline Button b Sussex, Eng b 1822

mqt — 14 Mar 2008 5:43:23 GMT

I am posting this information for a friend. Previously I have posted regarding my Parks family (Ireland> Ontario> Pierce Co Wisconsin> Barron Co Wisconsin). Today I am posting about another Parks family (Kent, Lincolnshire Co. England> Sussex Co, England> Buffalo NY> Sauk Co. Wisconsin >Barron Co. Wisconsin).

According to a family tree finished in 1985 he descends from Caroline Button who was born in Sussex Co. England on December 24, 1822. Caroline was the daughter of Thomas Squire Button and Jane Collins. On March 8, 1845 Caroline Button married Frederick Parks who was born in Kent, Lincolnshire England on October 24, 1824. They had two children, George Thomas and Charles H. in England and then immigrated to the US in December 1848 on the ship North Tumberland arriving in the US in 1849.

They first lived in Buffalo NY where their daughter Harriet Jane was born. They then moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin living there for 5 years. I believe I found Frederick listed in the 1857-1858 Milwaukee County Directory as: PARKS: Frederick foreman Burnham's Brick Yard, h Waukesha Plank Road, near Jones.

The family then moved to Merrimac, Sauk Co, Wisconsin by the 1860 census. The children born to the family were George Thomas b 8 Sep 1845 in Sussex Co. Eng., Charles H. b abt. 1848 in Sussex Co. Eng., Harriet Jane b. 9 Dec 1850 in Buffalo N.Y., Frederick B. b. 1855 in Milwaukee Wisc, Caroline b abt. 1858 in Sauk Co, Wisc., Charlotte b abt. 1862 in Sauk Co, Wisc, William E. b abt. 1866 in Sauk Co, Wisc., Albert J. b. abt. 1869 in Sauk Co, Wisc. Both Frederick B. and Albert J. died young so never married.

By at least 1910 if not earlier Fred G Parks b 1872 son of Geo T. b.1845 Eng had settled in Dallas Township, Barron Co. Wisconsin.

I would appreciate being contacted with information about this family.

Info on Franklin Parks, b-1842 in Pope Co Ill

rickdparks — 5 Feb 2008 9:28:31 GMT

Searching for any info on GG. My ancestral research (that can be documented)stops with him. As far as I can determine, he had two sons, William Martin b. 1865 in Ill. dec. 1913 in Mo. and James Franklin b. 1872 in Mo., dec. 1927 in Mo. Franklins wifes name, according to 1880 census was Jane; however, she was 16 years younger than my GG and only 8 years older that William, thus must have been his second wife and mother of neither of the sons. Same records indicate Franklin's parent were from Tennessee. All help would be appreciated.
