WHO WAS HELEN J. PARKS (b abt 1935 WV)?
Posted 26 jul 2015 by hamilton1948
WHO WAS HELEN J. PARKS (b abt 1935 WV)?
The 1940 US Census for Clay District, Monongalia Co., WV, has the following entry for the William and Lucy Hamilton household (enumerated 12 Apr 1940 as of Apr 1):
Parks, Helen J., granddaughter, female, white, age 6, single, attended school since 1 Mar 1940,
She was born in West Virginia and lived in the same house on 1 Apr 1935.
So, who was Helen J. Parks?
She does not appear in any other family records. If you have any information, please contact me.
The census listing means that she was a granddaughter of William Hamilton.
She could also have been a grandaughter of Lucy Tennant.
If Helen was a granddaughter of both, who was the mother?
With a given age of 6, she would have been born in 1934 or 1935.
In those years Bettie was about age 5, Ruie was about 12 and Wilma was about 17.
Wilma would have been old enough to give birth. Ruie might have been old enough.
However, the granddaughter could have been using her mother's last name.
In this case, most of the Hamilton boys, including C. Ward, could have been the father.
Marshall and Delmar would have been too young.
Also it is possible that William fathered a child before he married Lucy, and that child is a parent of Helen J.
There are other possibilities including mistaken information given to the census taker.
The 1940 census for Clay District also shows three persons named Park (no s) also in the district.
They are Leroy A ., 75, and Minnie, 60, Park in one household, and Bonnie Park, a 22-year-old divorced daughter in the household of Mac and Stella Steele.
However, there is no information that would connect Helen J. Parks to the three Park individuals.

Cropped from a picture of Lucy and daughter Bettie.
The photo was probably taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s -- Betty was at least a teenager.
