Notes - Asa became owner of 1000 acres on Station Camp. It was upon this land that oil was early discovered in Estill County. The land was then in possession of one of his descendants. To each of his nine children was given one hundred acres of land. Son Ebenezer received the old home place. Asa, his wife, and one daughter are buried on the old home place on the first 1000 acres of land owned by him.

Doug Park’s research calls our Asa “a noted artist of his time”….BUT see the following:

PLEASE NOTE: At least one "authoritative" and often-quoted work provides inaccurate biographical information for Asa Park, as well as for several other members of the Park family who were early residents of Kentucky. In each of these cases, information for several men with the same given name was lumped together as if they were one person. Asa Park the artist descends from Richard Park who arrived aboard the 'Defence' in 1635. There were at least two men by the name of Asa Park residing in Kentucky during the same period. [1]
