Thomas2 Parke, (Richard1), was born in England about 1628-9, and probably came to America with his father in the ship "Defence" in 1635, although his name does not appear on the passenger list. He died Aug. 11, 1690. He was a farmer, and his house was near Bruce's (or Bemis's) mill on the bank of the Charles river. He married Abigail Dix, Dec. 1, 1653, a daughter of Edward and Jane (Wilkinson) Dix. She was born May 21, 1637, and died Feb. 3, 1691. The Town Records of Cambridge, under date of April 12, 1665, say that Thomas Parkes was chosen a Constable "for the yeare ensuing." He was admitted Freeman of Cambridge, May 31, 1671. He settled upon the 600 acre tract formerly owned by his father. His estate was divided among his heirs in 1693-4. It then comprised 722 acres and part of a corn-mill on Smelt brook erected by Lt. John Spring.
