Our families settled at World’s End, just outside Church Creek south of Cambridge, MD. Of course there were no towns then, only swamp and mosquitoes, just like now. By the 1700s there were more people living there than today.
Some of the Parks lived on the James river. Others settled on Smith Island in the 1700s. Both of my grandfathers married German immigrant women.
My English direct paternal line was in St. Marys City, MD from 1660 to 1698, from there to Fairfax County, VA up to the late 1760’s, then they came here to NC.
