General Notes: Husband - William Park

---

He was born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland, where he received an education.
Papers later in the possession of his great-grandson give evidence of the fact that he became a member of Lodge No. 479, F. & A. M., at Tullaghoge, County Tyrone, Ireland, December 3, 1783. In 1791, on April 26, he was given a demit from that lodge, together with one from the Knights Templar, of which he was also a member, - accompanied by testimonials as to his character. He landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in May, 1791, where he remained for about four years, in the meantime learning the trade of stone mason, and then located in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he instituted what was, for many years, the only Masonic lodge in that section of the state. He followed his former vocation there and many houses standing in that village one hundred years later were the result of his work. He lived to reach the advanced age of eighty-eight years.
