    Reprints "Parentage of Lt. Richard Parks of Concord" by George Tolman which describes the following documents: On 14 Oct 1678 Richard Parks Senior of Concord and wife Mary sold land to Joseph Wilson. [Note: immigrant d. 1665, son of Thomas born 1663, too young to sell land.] 18 Mar 1686/7, Richard Parks and Mary of Sherborn sell land to Daniel Bigelow. On 9 Apr 1711 Richard Parks Sr. and wife Mary, and John Parks and wife Deliverance, convey land to Richard Parks Jr. of Concord. On 30 Aug 1715 Richard Parks and wife Mary are warned out of Weston.

  3.   Tolman argues further that this Richard is the son of the immigrant, whose will shows a blot for signature, and is written partly in the 3rd person, indicating the testator was ill. This is Tolman's justification for the fact that the will contains no mention of son Richard, but as Anderson in his Great Migration sketch of the immigrant points out, it would seem that even if left out of the will, such a son should still have been mentioned in the lengthy probate, and yet he never was. Therefore, while of an appropriate age, there is no indication this Richard was related to the immigrant.
