Research Notes

In the late 1600’s two families came into New Jersey, with names so nearly alike, that some researchers have combined them as one family. One is Roger Parke, of Hexham, Northumberland, England. The second , Roger Parkes with an “S”. Interestingly, Roger grandson Jonathan Parks had gained an “s” and lost an “e”.

Disputed Spouse

Many researchers dispute that Roger's wife was named Susannah Robinson and that they married about 1698 in Crosswicks Creek New Jersey.

Taken from a source called Miner's Descent: Some mistaken information having to do with a will of a Thomas Robinson got this started but it has no basis in truth, having been researched extensively by many Parke family researchers. It has also been speculated that his wife was Jane Stout or a woman named Hannah before 1704, but this also is just speculation – so his wife’s name is unknown.[6]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Roger by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Roger:

If the family emigrated in 1678 and Roger was born in New Jersey in 1684, the "Hexham" category should be removed. Also the "Birth" and "Immigration",sections should be corrected.

Parke-784 and Parke-33 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same wife, same date of deaath. Birth details need to be reconciled.
