I saw some earlier posts re Pontotoc Co., Mississippi, Quarterly and reference to the info it might contain re families who came from Pontotoc Co., MS to Eastland & Comanche Counties, Texas. I am interested in the PARK Family. BRYANT LEROY PARK brought his family first to Comanche Co. and then to Eastland Co. probably between 1900-1909. He married 3 times, the first in Mississippi to S.E. (?) by whom he had at least 6 children, all born in Mississippi: Elonzo Lonnie PARK (1887-1961 md. Belle ? (1892-1981); Jessie W. (b. Sep 1889); Leroy B. (1891-1968); Eva (b. Oct 1893); Ernest (1896-1965); and Modess (b. Aug 1897. He then married SARAH EVIE MILLER (1875-1911), dau/o Gordon MILLER (of Sugar Valley, GA & Comanche Co., TX) and Sarah Catherine METCALF. Evie (MILLER) PARK was the mother of one or two daughters (there seems to be confusion among researchers there.) Verleta/Valeda PARK, b. abt 1909 in Texas is listed in 1910 & 1920 censuses. However, she may be the Veola Dee PARK (b. 22 Jan 1911 - d. 27 Mar 1967). [The dates given for her don't fit with the census records, sooooo.....] Byrant Leroy PARK's third wife was Bertie M. ?, whom he apparently married shortly after Evie's death in Jan 1911. I find no evidence that there were any children of this union.

Bryant Leroy & 3rd wife Bertie PARK as well as son Ernest are buried in Gorman Cemetery. Sons Lonnie & Leroy are buried in Oaklawn Cemetery adjacent to Gorman Cemetery.

I would appreciate any infomation on this family.
