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.

Tennant, Lucy thumb
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.

Potter/McKean County, Pennsylvania Genealogy

3 hrs 07 January 2018
Earlier this weekend, I joined this group and read with great interest the messages that have been posted.
My main maternal lines are the ancestors, descendants and in-laws of:
--Mahlon Mitchell Jr. (1806-1889) and Elizabeth Gilbert (1815-1877), my 2nd great grandparents.
She is a 6th generation Mayflower descendant of Edward Fuller.
This Mitchell family’s reunion started in 1923. (I am reunion president, because none of my cousins want the title.) The 2018 reunion is scheduled for July 21 at the Mitchell Pavilion at Coudersport Area Recreation Park. (The pavilion is named after an unrelated Mitchell. For many years the group met at Mitchell Park, also named after an unrelated Mitchell.)
Their son George Washington Mitchell (1844-1915) is my great grandfather.
--Charles L. Vergason (1833-1924) and his second wife Cynthia Maria Strong (1835-1915), my 2nd great grandparents. Their daughter Lydia Eliza is third wife of George Washington Mitchell and my great grandmother.
Today’s Mitchell reunion was originally the Mitchell-Vergason Reunion in 1923, and Charles attended. All branches of the family are welcome at our reunions.
--Charles W. Thompson (1868-1939) and Ada Dell Toles (1873-1963), my great grandparents. There are at least two different and apparently unrelated Toles lines in Potter Co. Both are in my tree.
My main paternal line is the Hamilton line, which came to Potter Co. from Monongalia Co., WV.
My father was Jake Hamilton (1918-1954).
Two of his brothers also settled in Potter Co.
-- Harry Kimble “Johnny” Hamilton (1914-1967) and
-- Marshall Hamilton (1924-1991).
The three brothers had 12 children in Potter Co., and most of them settled in the Coudersport area.
Two of my first cousins are
- Larry Kimble Hamilton (1944-1994) and
- Thomas Howard Hamilton (1947-2006).
My all-male Hamilton line descends from Henry Hamilton (1742-1828), who came to Monongalia Co., from Northern Ireland.
My Hamiltons also descend from the large Tennant and Haught families of Monongalia Co. in the 1700s.
My mother was Luella Mae Mitchell (1917-2010). Mom and Dad owned the Coudersport Service Station business (known as the Corner Store at the corner of Main and Chestnut) from about July 1950 to about June 1952. I have a few memories. Mom was a cashier at the Coudersport elementary school cafeteria for many years.
Other Potter Co. surnames in the tree include:
Ayers, Baker, Bennett, Clark, Clinton, Cornelius, Dingman, Foster, Gilbert, Hackett, Haskins, Hauber, King, Knowlton, Lattin, Matteson, Russell, Snyder, Tauscher (Teuscher), Toombs.

Gerry Hamilton I’m not sure if you’re related to Arron (Bernie) Haskins from Emporium/Austin area. I am his grand daughter. My dad is Leon (Butch) Haskins which lives in Eldred. Kind of fun to chat with those who may have known my relatives even if we aren’t related directly

Without looking, I’m assuming your Anna Klesa was the daughter of Albert and Mary Valenta from Bohemia
