Notes: There are at least 3 and possibly 4 additional children who were born 
in the 1840s listed in the Parks household on the 1860 and 1870 Federal 
census reports of Coryell Co., Texas, who are not listed in the 1850 Federal
census report of Dyer Co., Tennessee in the household of Newton and Mary 
Moore Parks.  It is possible they were children of Elizabeth Galaher and a 
previous husband but that has not been documented.
