James Hamilton Parks was an interesting person and recently we found a second of his oil paintings. We wish we knew if he was self taught or studied and how much he painted.

His death certificate reports a birth year of 1870; his marker at Rose Hills states 1861. Census dates vary from 1860 to 1869.

A handwritten family document which may have been copied from a family Bible states 1860 so I am going to use that date here and also once again on Ancestry.com.

He was one of eight children. Some are listed in Find-A-Grave. His siblings are, in birth order:
Martha E. Parks/Parkes # 67770321
John William B. Parks #99148875
Olive Josephine Parks (Josie or Josephine, Ward, Hutchinson)
George McClellan/d Parks #106984349
Mary Josephine "Molly" Parks (Clark, Stevens)
Andrew "Andy" G. Parks (d. OK)
Ella Pearl Parks (Frazier) (d. OK)

His half sister was Ida C. Kelly (Patton/Patten), the "baby" of the family.


His parents were James M. Parks and Malinda C. Perry who remarried twice after James early death. I found Malinda #12128225 but have not yet found their father, James.

All three of James H. Parks' children, George, Vera and Paul, are now linked with the family.
