124. HISTORY OF ST. LAWRENCE CO.,NY (Lisbon,NY)
In 1802, Robert Livingston came to town and made a small clearing, and in 1803 moved his family in from Washington Co.,NY. He was born in Saratoga Co.,NY on August 17,1769. In 1810, while a resident of Lisbon,St.Lawrence Co.,NY, he was appointed one of the judges of the court of common pleas of St. Lawrence Co., which office he held until 1828. For twenty years he was a justice of the peace, and was several times elected supervisor of the town. He was one of the principal supporters of the Presbyterian Church in Lisbon. His death occurred November 23,1858 when he had reached the ninetieth year of his age. His old place is now occupied by his grandson, William Bruce.
125. It is said that his father's will lists William as the 7th and youngest son. If correct, the birthdates of two of the sons need to be adjusted. William is believed to have been born in 1768.

205. Daniel Parks, a man of gigantic stature, "born to command," gathered a few neighbors from Fort Edward and, without any pretense of orders from Congress or anybody else, not claiming even the authority given by Colonel Allen, pushed through the woods nine miles, and demanded and received the keys of Fort George. This is the tradition in the Parks family, and it is well sustained by the fact that upon Daniel Parks' tombstone, who died in 1818, there is the following inscription: "One of the veterans of the Revolutionary war. He was the man that took the keys from the British officer at Lake George in 1775."

Rome Sentinel-September 20, 1880
Lee Centre Notes:
William Park died at Lee Centre, Sept. 19, in his 92nd year. Mr. Park came from Berkshire county, Mass, in 1795, and with the exception of about one and one-half years, he has lived in Lee since that time. He settled on the farm now occupied by Chas. L. Stedman, one mile east of Lee Centre. He raised a family of ten children, seven of whom are now living, viz: Mrs. David Young, Mrs. Orrin Kenyon, DeWitt C. Park and William A. Park, of Lee Centre; Mrs. Charles Elmer of Delta; John Q. Parks of Minnesota Falls, Minnesota, and George W. Park of Prophetstown, Illinois. Deceased was one of the foremost citizens of Lee in his day. He was supervisor of his town thirteen consecutive years. He was also Justice of the Peace three terms and held other offices of honor and trust. Mr. Park led an honored and useful life, and was highly respected by all. The
funeral will take place in Lee Centre Wednesday at 1 pm.
Rome Sentinel
October 5, 1880
(Lengthy write-up, front page, same basic information as obit following but a little less family history)
(Probably Roman Citizen but name of paper and date not indicated on clipping. Copies of this time period not found on microfilm at Jervis Library.)
The late William Park was the youngest child born to the late Jacob Park of Sangerfield, Berkshire county, Mass. William was born in said town on the 27th day of April, 1789, and died in Lee on the evening of the 19th of Sept. 1880, at the uncommon age of 91-1/2 years. The widowed mother, in 1795, took six of her children and removed from Massachusetts to that part of Oneida County known as Steuben and located a farm at what was then called the west end of the settlement. The farm is now owned and occupied by G. W. Stedman. At the age of (21), in 1810, William and his elder brother, the late Abijah Park, purchased a farm embracing lands upon which are our main public buildings, including the churches, stores and various shops and places of business, except the grist and saw mills and the tannery. Lee Center then had no name in history but was
known as the Western Settlement between the Eastern civilization and Canada. In 1812 Lee had been incorporated and admitted among the towns in the county. During this year Mr. Park volunteered and went to Sackett's Harbor at the call of his country, stayed three months and returned to his home. In 1814 he again went and stayed forty days. He gave the grounds upon which the Union Church was built in 1819 to the Union Eccelsiastical Society to be kept forever for their use as a church, and also gave the town authority, subsequently, to build a hall in the basement, and guaranteed the right of way. In 1861, at
the breaking out of the rebellion, his patriotic ardor broke forth, and his boys heard him say that if he was young again he would shoulder his musket and start for the field of deadly conflict. Dewit, his oldest son at home, taking the hint, enlisted, and John, an older brother, then in the west, enlisted. Subsequently, when the draft came, William, the boy at home, was drawn. The father needed his help and raised $300, the draft money. In 1817, Mr. Park, although quite young, was held in such esteem by his fellow citizens, that he was elected to the office of Supervisor of Lee, and for fourteen successive years he was re-elected to that office. He had gained the entire confidence of his townsmen and from time to time other important offices of trust were conferred upon him. He was estensively known and respected throughout the county. He was always temperate in his
habits, strictly upright and honest in his dealings with his fellow man. As a magistrate or justice of the peace sitting to arbitrate between parties, his only aim was to ascertain what was just. He was rigidly impartial, giving his opinions fearlessly. It may be said of him, in his deals, that with him 99 cents didn't make a dollar and 101 cents made more than a dollar, and he was willing to give and receive a just dollar. He was a father of eleven children, seven of whom survive him, and they have families of their own. There are several grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, but distance and cares have prevented them from being present at the funeral. The aged patricarch lived to see the sixth generation. Notwithstanding his age and feebleness, and the infirmities of human nature during his last sickness and suffering, the coming Presidential delection occupied his mind, and never in any intercourse with him have I seen him more interested in any election that he was in that of November next. He was highly delighted at the results in Maine, and wished that Garfield and Arthur would be elected.
