Who were the parents of William Parke, born in 1654, married Hannah Frink?

Question

Information in the biography for William Parke indicates that his parents were Thomas Parke-368 and Dorothy Thompson-7648. But the parents attached to him are William Parke-157 and Martha Holgrave-1. In the comments about changes for William Parke-309 there is this comment: "This William was not the son of William (Parke-157) and Martha Holgrave, that William died young." 

It appears that accidentally, in a merge, the wrong parents were attached again. If no one objects, I'd like to change the parents back to Thomas Parke-368 and Dorothy Thompson-7648.

In addition, are there any sources to support his second wife, Mary Unk.-425? If he only had the one wife, Hannah Frink, should Mary Unk. should be merged into Hannah Frink's profile? The only information for Mary Unk. is her marriage to William Parke.

Comments

Further information, found in Frank Sylvester Parks, "Genealogy of the Parke Families of Connecticut", 1906, page 38, William was married three times, to Hannah Frink, Hannah Plimpton, and Mary ___.

William's parents should be Thomas Parke-8 (merged with Parke-368) and Dorothy Thompson-563 (merged with Thompson-7648). And there's another profile for him, Parke-174, that shows incorrectly that he died in 1654 (as an infant).

Answer 2

Looks like there are two William Parkes born in or about 1654; one in Massachusetts to William and Martha [this one died young]  and one in Connecticut to Thomas and Dorothy [this one married Hannah, et, al].

We have the parents crossed: William and Martha should be the parents of Parke-174 and Thomas and Dorothy should be the parents of Parke-309.

Furthermore Parke-174 should show birth on Oct 8, 1654 in Roxbury and death there as well;( the source currently attached to Parke-309 lists May 14, 1656).

Parke-309 should show birth "estimated in 1654" in Stonington.with an unknown date of death.  The Connecticut Parke genealogy lists 1654 as a baptism date.  Death was certainly after 1716 when he married Mary.

Thanks for the input, Frank and Bob. I've sorted out the two. They already been marked as rejected matches. Hopefully no one will confuse them again.
