- ↑ WILKES COUNTY, NC - BIBLES - Benjamin Parks, Sr. Family Bible. Benjamin Parks' Family Bible contains a "Family Register" which contains family birth records including Benjamin Parks' birth March 25 1746. The Bible belongs to Lois Humiston of Mancos, Colorado. Her niece, Charlotte Baxstrom, also of Mancos, CO, indicated that the Bible was passed down from Benjamin to Flemmon, to Joseph E. Parks, to Emma (daughter of Joseph E.), and finally to Lois (daughter of Emma). She indicated that it was very old and there were pages missing. She could find no date. However, from a fly leaf of the New Testament section of the Bible, there was enough information that with the help of the American Bible Society in New York, they indicated it was printed and published by Henry C. Sleight: New York in 1828, 11 years before Benjamin died.
