Parks/Parke/Park/Parkes Surname

I am new to this group and have had a great deal of difficulty trying to trace my Park Family origins.  My earliest trace with absolute certainty is only back to my great grandfather Robert Park who was born (1849) in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.  There is a strong possibility of one more generation back to a William Park and Mary (Paton) Park in Hamilton, Ontario.  Both William Park and Mary Paton were from Scotland and met and married in Ontario, Canada.

My great grandfather Robert Park, with his wife Jerusha (Joslin) Park and three children moved from Ontario to Saskatchewan, Canada and my father was born there.  My parents were married in Saskatchewan and came to Oregon on their honeymoon and stayed.

"IF" William and Mary Park were my great great grandparents, their  family moved into the Detroit, MI area.

I'm a descendant of James Parks born in Virginia abt 1791, and his second wife, Eliza Jane, and only seen in two censuses in Blackford (1850) and Delaware (1860) Counties in Indiana. He is my brick wall and has been for my family for many years. Anyone have any Parks history in Indiana? I cannot find James' first wife and family and am unable to trace him back to Virginia.

Hi everyone! My kinfolks ended up in Texas but I have traced them back to Illinois, Washington County in the 1850's. If you need help with Park, parks, that traveled to Texas, let me know!

My Parks line starts with Richard Parks m.Eliz. Billings
Jonathan Parks m. Mary Whiting
Jonas Parks m. ?
Jonas Parks m. Zillah Conger

We're having a lot of trouble finding Elizabeth's surname. Mostly they lived in Greene, Dutchess and Broome Co. NY
