The ancestry of Moses Park is unproven. Percival David Park, of Charlottesville, VA, in his manuscript, "Possible Origins of Some Park Families in the Eastern Part of Old Rowan County, North Carolina", August 1994, has concluded that Moses Park is most probably a descendant of Roger Parke of Hunterdon County, NJ (born in England about 1638, came to New Jersey about 1682, died after 1703, probably at Hopewell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey). One of Roger Parke's sons was John Parke (born about 1674, died about 1757), who married Sarah Smith, daughter of Andrew Smith, Sr. One of the sons of Sarah Smith and John Parke was named John Parke, and is referred to in the "Origins" manuscript as John Parke II. John Parke II wife's name was Mary, and these may be the parents of Moses Park (b. 1738, d. 1828). These men are found in official records, but the suggested relationships are based on circumstantial evidence and cannot be confirmed with currently available information.
