      “Jesse was supposedly perceived as the black sheep of the family as family history has it, for his rather abrupt departure to Missouri. At one time, Jesse farmed the land in Eastern Madison County along Drowning Creek (original owner was Jesse's father, Ebenezer Park, Sr.) and per agreement with his father, gave him so many bushels of corn each year. Eb Park, Sr. had previously moved to the Station Camp area of Estill County. Jesse's brother, Col. Eli Park (m. Winnaford Dillingham) and sister, Mary (m. John Scrivner) both lived on this same Drowning Creek tract of land where Eb and wife, Tabitha Mills were eventually buried (I found their graves on 20 June 2000 under fallen Pine trees), having moved in with son, Col. Eli Park in the last years. Jesse moved to Missouri at the invitation of Winnie’s father, having been promised land there.”
