Gordon, do you have any info on James W. Parks' siblings? I have John Parks b. abt 1820 in Ga. He married Martha Brown in Town County Ga in 1854 or 55. town county is close to Franklin County according to todays map. What makes me think there may be a connection is that my John had a son named James W. as well as at least 2 sets of twins. Thanks for any help. You can email direct at Blue10JR@aol.com
