My G-Grandmother was Elizabeth Bennett Park Drummond, born March 28, 1870 (Port Chester Daily Item obituary) and died December 5, 1955 (Greenwood Union Cemetery records).Her obituary lists her parents as Agustus and Mary E. Merritt Park.I have traced her parents back to the 1850 Census in Rye, NY.I was told by my dad and/or grandmother that she was one of the Park & Tillford Distillary Parks.Is this true?Was there a family fall out?None of the family 'fortune'made it down to us.:-)
Agustus' Parents were John A. & Julia A. Park.He had at least one brother, Charles, and two sisters, Martha & Julia.Some of your names could be decendents of Charles.The Park family also lived in Rye in 1850 & 1860 (Census).
