  1. 2.  William Eli Park Descendancy chart to this point (1.Barthana1) was born on 5 Aug 1843 in Madison Co., KY; died on 11 Apr 1932 in San Francisco, CA; was buried in Colma, San Mateo Co., CA.

    Notes:

    Find-A-Grave shows William Eli Park’s spouse to be Mary E. Park (1851-1904), with a son William with unknown birth date, but who died in 1969 in California. It seems this entire family moved to California.

    All earlier information confirms William Eli as a son of Jonathan Park. But William Eli’s obit reports his mother not as Lillian Stroud, but rather, Mary E. Park, and his father as William H. Park. So more research needs to be done to find the correct connections. It is possible that Lillian was a first wife (she died at age 25), but that doesn’t account for the William H. Park as father.

    Or, could William Park who died in 1969 and Lillian Stroud be Homer William Park’s parents, since left as is, William Eli was an unlikely 70 years old when Homer William was born.
