NOTES
1). bobspu.ged BIO Per Civil Order Book C Oct 1821 to July 1825 Alexander PARK, an alien in order to become a citizen of the United...comes into court...Signatures Thos. RHOADS, Wm. RHOADS, Paul DAVIS. copy owned by Park W. CARTER. Per MARRIAGE RECORD BOOK copy owned by Park W. Carter Married 20 June 1839. Alexander PARK and Elizabeth N. BAIN. Given unto my hand this 5th day of July 1839...James M.HENDERSON. The joint ownership of a parcel of land in Hanover Township of Alexander and Elizabeth BAIN PARK and Thomas and Jane BAIRD ANDERSON was the first piece of evidence found by compiler to link the PARK, ANDERSON and GILCHRIST families. From this discovery came more and more evidence that the families were related in some way. Church records, tombstonesin Carmel Cemetery and naturalization records all contributed to the knowledge that all of these families emigrated from the southern part of SCOTLAND, and most were in this country considerably earlier than James GILCHRIST. The PARK family was evidentlyrather prominent in the Hanover and Saluda Township area and Alexander and his family remained there for many years. Finally at least three of Alexander and Jane s children relocated to Vermilion County, IL. Tombstone inscriptions photographed and copied by Park W. CARTER, a descendent of Alexander s brother, Thomas, give birth and death dates of William J. and his wife Jane BAIRD , Elizabeth and her husband Thomas J. HANNA, and Jane, the PARK s daughter who was reportedly blind and never married. Allof these members of Alexander s immediate family are buried in the Floral Hills Cemetery near Hoopeston, IL. All died after 1900. REFERENCES 1. Deed Book X, pp. 500 01, Jefferson Co., IN 2. Deed Book I, pp. 9 10, 3. Tombstone, Carmel Cemetery near Hanover, IN. 4. Jefferson Co.

2).  bobspu.ged  BIO   The parents of Elizabeth BAIN are not known.  Compiler at one time had assumed the father to have been Samuel BAIN of Jefferson Co., IN, who is enumerated on census records near the Park families  however, Elizabeth consistently reported herself tohave been born in INDIANA.  In 1870, she reported that her father was  foreign born.  Samuel BAIN reports himself to have been born in NORTH CAROLINA  therefore compiler has deleted the names of Samuel and Jane BAIN as parents of Elizabeth. The second sonof Alexander and Elizabeth PARK served in the Union Army during the C.W., and died as a result of illness contracted during his service.  Civil War Pension File  914 826 contains a copy of Samuel  s death certificate which states that both Alexander PARKand Elizabeth  BAYNE  were born in SCOTLAND! At least three of Alexander and Elizabeth  s children eventually resided and after 1900 all three died in Vermilion County, IL. Daughter Elizabeth HANNA and her husband Thomas J. Hanna, William J. and his wife Jane BAIRD BEARD and the PARK  s blind daughter, Jane. who never married are buried in Floral Hills Cemetery near Hoopeston, IL.  REFERENCES  1.
