Hello. On page 129 of Sparks From the Camp Fires, 1891, is a list of various Army Corps with the following names for Ninth Army Corps: Major-General John G. Parke; First Divison Brevet Major-General O.B.Wilcox; 1st Brigade, Colonel Samuel Harriman (37th Wisconsin); 2nd Brigade, Brevet Colonel Ralph Ely (9th Michigan); 3rd Brigade, Colonel James Bintliff (#8th Wisconsin).

On page 131 is a photographical sketch of Major-General John G. Parke.

On page 128 is only a mention of Major-General Parke: "Following the cavalry appeared the steady columns of the glorious Ninth Corps, with PARKE in command, and Burnside in loving remembrance. Tumultuous applause greeted these veterans as they passed with swinging stride. Wilcox led the First Division; then came Griffin (S.G.), with the Second; and then the swarthy, soldierly, eagle-eyed Hartranft with the Third." This above extract happened on May 23, 1865 as the Army was allowed to march through the capitol, Washington, for "one final triumph and one final burst of glory" before they returned to their normal every day lives after the Civil War.

I'm sorry, there are no vitals for Major-General PARKE mentioned in this book. Perhaps that you know now which division he was in, you can send for his pension papers. They should tell his parents, birthdate and place, marriage, etc. Good luck!
