SAMUEL PARK, farmer, P. O. Marshall, is one of the aged citizens of the city of Marshall. He is a native of Licking County, Ohio, born November 21, 1810. At that time, Central Ohio was a vast, heavily-timbered wilderness but thinly settled. His father, John Park, was born in Hamphshire County, Va., February 16, 1786, where he remained with his parents until his twenty third year, when he married Miss Margaret, daughter of Alexander and Jane McBride. She was born in the same county, and of Irish parentage. Soon after, they emigrated to Licking County, Ohio, where they remained during life. Many of the Park family were sufferers in the Revolutionary war, among whom was John Park's mother, who was taken prisoner by the Indians in Greenbrier County, Va., and taken to Sandusky, in the Northwest Territory, where she remained a prisoner for nearly four years. After her return to Virginia, she married Samuel, the father of John Park. The Park family are among the oldest families of the nation. They are of English origin, and commenced their American history with the colony at Jamestown, Va., in 1608 or 1609, from whence they have spread into nearly if not quite every State and Territory in the Union. Samuel Park, the subject of this memoir, continued to reside in Licking County until the fall of 1850. Then he moved with his family to the Valley of the Wabash and settled in the southwest corner of Hutsonville Township, Crawford County, Ill., where he resided nine years; thence to his present farm joining the town of Marshall, in Clark County. This change was made to obtain better facilities for educating the younger members of his family. He now rents his farm and resides on South Michigan street in the city of Marshall. In early life, he enjoyed only such limited facilities for obtaining an education as was afforded in the pioneer log-cabin schools when there was no public money to aid in keeping up schools. In youth, he learned the blacksmith trade, after which he obtained a copartnership with an auger and sickle maker, and acquired the art of making them, which he followed until compelled to abandon his trade by loss of health. Since then he has followed farming and wool-growing as his chief business in life. On June 2, 1831, he married Miss Aletha A., daughter of Benedict and Rachael Belt, who was also born in Licking County, Ohio, November 3, 1810. They had been schoolmates and associates from childhood. They have had nine children, eight of whom lived to the age of men and women, as follows: John A., born March 17, 1832; Wesley, born November 19, 1833; Henry C., born August 16, 1835; George, born September 12, 1839; Mary E., born May 10, 1842; Samuel B., born September 2, 1844; Alvin T., born October 28, 1846; Aletha J., born April 30, 1849; Emily A., born August 20, 1852 and died March 11, 1854. George and Alvin T. lost their lives in the service of the Union in the war of 1861-65. Aletha J. died at the age of nineteen years and Henry C. at the age of forty, leaving a wife and six children. There are three sons and one daughter still living, and all have families. John A. is a farmer: Wesley and Samuel B. are practicing physicians. Samuel Park has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for nearly fifty-three years and Mrs. Park for over sixty years. Mr. Park claims to be a real frontiersman in his birth and early life experience and has an unusually vivid recollection of pioneer usuages and incidents. One of the many land marks in his recollections, is the return of the soldiers from Gen, Harrison's campaign in the Northwest in 1813. Mr. and Mrs. Park have been living together as man and wife for nearly fifty-two year and are still enjoying pretty good health, both physically and mantally. They are now living alone as family as when they first began their life together. The above is the production of Mr. Samuel Park's own pen.
Religious preference: Methodist Episcopal Church. (LDS CD-ROM pedigree chart indicates that Aletha's last name is BELTS)
It appears that John HIETT came to America in 1682. His first stop was in
Pennsylvania but he seems to have moved to Orange County, Virginia to make
his home.

HIETT FAMILY HISTORY
DESCENDANTS OF JOHN HIETT, THE PIONEER
JOHN HIETT, born in England, 1658, came to Pennsylvania 1682. Children: William, John Jr., George, Mary, Rebecca, and Sarah.
This history, hereinafter, deals with the descendants of John Hiett, Junior.
JOHN HIETT JUNIOR, the pioneer to Sandy Ridge, Capon drains, settled first on Sandy Ridge and lived there for a while. The date of this settlement is authentically given in Records as 1737. After the Indian Wars ended he returned to Virginia and, September 1, 1764, purchased land of Thomas and Elizabeth Green on both sides of the Opequion in the line of Joseph Edwards of Bear Garden. Settled and died there, 1764, as per his will given in this book. The will was probated in Frederick county, December 4, 1764.
John Hiett, pioneer to Sandy Ridge, was married twice, the name of his first sife being unknown here. He evidently married her in Pennsylvania. Their children were:
1. George, who married Martha Wakefield in Pennsylvania, went with his father to Rowan county, North Carolina and remained there. Their descendants moved northward and westward and have been found in Wilmington, Ohio, Indianapolis; Leavenworth; Lockport, and Nova Scotia.
2. John, married Mary Locke.
3. William, married Alice (or Elsie) London.
4. Joseph.
5. Catherine, married _______ Harrell of Harrelsville, Rowan, North Carolina.
6. Mary, married Thomas Edwards, of Joseph Edwards. See the will of the "Fort Builder", Romney Records, W. B. 2. They removed from Hampshire county to Ohio and lived near what is now Sandusky. There is a tradition that after Mr. Edwards' death there she came to Jefferson county and married a second time, the name of the second husband being Hiett, persumably a cousin. Mary Hiett and Thomas Edwards had several children, the second daughter married Hugh McIvor of Sapon Valley and they went to Greenbriar River to live; rich lands, but yet sparsely settled.
The Indians came and killed the husband and took the wife and children into captivity. After five years she managed to escape and return to her friends. Duriing captivity she had been separated from her children and never allowed to see them but once; and she never again heard of them. This story is also known to the McIvor (McKeever) family, you will note, though told in a somewhat different way.
7. Ann, married ______ Harris.
8. Margaret, married _______ Craven, of Craven, Rowan county, North Carolina.
Children by the second wife, Margaret Stevens Post, were all minors at the death of the pioneer, 1764, as follows:
9. Evan, married Sarah Smith.
10. James married a Miss Lucretia Pugh, went tt Marietta, Ohio, it seems, from an old letter in the hands of the relatives of Hiett family. She may have been a daughter of Robert and Mary Pugh.
11. Jonathan, M. Mary Conner.
12. Timothy, died single. He was a witness on the will of Joseph Edwards, April 10. 1781. with his brother-in-law, David Caudy and a Joel "Chesher".
13. Martha, married David Caudy, who died before 1783, leaving sons, John, Evan and James Caudy. See will of the pioneer.
Lydia worked at the telephone company when her children were small. Th
lived for some time with her parents, "Big Mama" and "Big Papa." She
crocheted and sold bedspreads during the depression.
Married and divorced several times. Father of her children was Raymond
Autry. Married and divorced Pytel several times. Lived in Uvalde during
those years.
Married Oscar W. Reitzer in 1945. After the death of her daughter, they
raised four of her grandchildren, Patty, Judy, Jeanne, and Buddy
Mitchell.
Major health problem was chronic bronchial congestion. Took predizone
for many years for it. She had a heart attack in the 1950s.
Was living at the fire house when he died. Known by family as "Big Pap
