. . . John Parks . . . came to Pennsylvania from the North of Ireland, about the year 1740, being at that time about seven years of age; he married a Miss Galbreath, who was of Scotch birth, and who bore him six children, five sons and one daughter. He was a tailor by trade; served throughout the Revolutionary War; came to Kentucky in 1788, and settled at the mouth of Steele's Run, near Millersburg. [Note by compiler: Millersburg is a populated place in Bourbon County, KY.]

JOHN PARKS was a Private of Second Penna. Regt., and from thence transferred to Regt. of Invalids. On November 1, 1783, he was discharged from said Invalid Regt., as unfit for duty on account of a wound received in his right arm.
[Note by compiler: The Federal Government has no records on file relating to John PARKS' Revolutionary War service. Any and all such records were destroyed in fires in the War Office in 1801 and 1814.]
