William Parks, Alamo defender, was born 1805 in North Carolina. He took part in the Siege of Béxar and later served in the Alamo garrison as a member of Capt. Robert White’s infantry company, the Béxar Guards. Parks died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.
Gary Parks says
One of my ancestors I knew rumors for years and I had an ancestor who died at the Alamo now I confirmed it
Nicholas Rufe Parks says
I knew nothing about William Parks at the Alamo. But my family started out from North Carolina and some came to Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas on the trail of tears. So yes there is a family connection. But in what way I’m not too sure.
