  Notes	(1) Schuyler, Hamilton, A History of St. Michael's Church, Trenton: In the Diocese of New Jersey, From Its Foundation in the Year of Our Lord 1703 to 1926, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1926, p. 23: THE EARLIEST MINISTRATIONS Entries of Baptisms under the hand of the Rev. John Talbot Hopewell. Feb. 28. Anno Domini. Jesus Christi 1702-3. John and Ann ye children of Roger Park, baptized by Mr. John Talbot. Roger, son of Roger Park, baptized 7'br. Sept. 8, 1704. . . . The above are exact transcripts from the Parish Register of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, of entries in the well-known handwriting of the Rev. John Talbot, and prove conclusively that his ministrations to church people in Hopewell go back to 1702-1703. (2) Message dated 17 July 2007 from Susan Avery to the PARKE-L mailing list: John Parke I left [Hunterdon (now Mercer) County, NJ] with his family in 1735 after the "Coxe incident" in which John Parke, his brother in law Thomas Smith and Bartholemew Anderson set fire to their property rather than have to pay for it again to Daniel Coxe who was requiring all inhabitants of the area to repurchase their land. Where he was exactly before the first of the Fairfax land grants in 1747 is unknown . . . he was probably in Frederick Co. VA as it was known then quite a few years prior to 1747 on the land he would later recieve [sic] the grant for. This land is actually is closer to present day Capon Bridge and parts of the family later moved to where the Parks Valley and cemetery are now.
