One of our members is looking for help...
I am trying to find information on my great(x4) grandfather, Peter Parks. I can prove back to his son Peter Parks Jr who died a POW at Salisbury NC. What I "know" from his death record (8 July 1867, Saugus, Massachusetts) is that he was born in 1799 (approx.) in Scotland.
What I can't find is record of his arrival in the US prior to 1829 when he married Mrs. Susan Wood Hooker in Saugus, Massachusetts.
Suggestions for how I would proceed. I have exhausted all the common online resources at this point.
Please contact maggieraye@gmail.com if you can help with this query.
