Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 220-221:
John Parks, one of the leading farmers of Malden township, County of Essex, is a son of Jonathan Parks, who was born in Staffordshire, England.
     In his native shire Jonathan Parks learned the mason's trade, following same until 1841, in which year he came to Canada. In Staffordshire, on June 11, 1832, he married Susanna Hartshorn. They were six weeks on the voyage to Canada, and the family landed in Quebec, weary but not discouraged. From that city they made their way by water to Toronto, and soon afterward, settled some twenty-five miles from the city, on a small ten-acre bush farm in Markham township, County of York, which was wild land, and on which they built a log cabin, making their home there for eight years. They then came west to the County of Essex. Prior to this, however, they had gone to Baraboo, Wisconsin, but only remained a few months. Returning to Ontario, Mr. Parks purchased a farm of 100 acres in Lot 83, 7th Concession, Malden township, on which he resided until his death, in 1873. He added twenty-five acres to the original property. To him and his wife were born the following children: Mary, born in 1833, died March 20, 1834; Sarah, born Feb. 20, 1835, married George Bratt, and died Jan. 27, 1860; John was born Jan. 11, 1837; Joseph, born Feb. 4, 1839, died in 1892; Elizabeth, born Jan. 2, 1841, married George Bratt, a farmer of Malden township, and died June 19, 1890; Mary, born June 22, 1843, married Charles Bratt, of Malden township; Eliza, born Dec. 3, 1846, married Robert Sellars, and died in May, 1879.
