      ———————————————————
      Information on John Parke (II) is found in the same Parish Register of Cartmel, Vol. 1 and 2.
      John Parke II, noted as living in the Holker area where his children were probably born. Son, Allan is also noted as being from this same area.Due to the limited number of inhabitants during these early years any Parkes in the Cartmel area would have been related.

      The Cartmel name was in use as early as 800 and referred to as the Cartmel Valley. A family by the name of Cartmell who settled in Virginia early 1700's have a family history back to the Cartmel area. The Old Parks Valley Cemetery in Hampshire County, where John Parke II lived with his family, also had the name "old Cartmel Cemetery" because some members of the Cartmell family had been buried there. Coincidence??Perhaps they knew of one another....this is just another one of those coincidences that show up making a possible connection to the Parke family of Cartmel and Hopewell, Hunterdon Co., NJ.
