Cora Lee Parker Brown b. 1891 d. 1971 Henry County, TN
Her father was supposedly Elvis Bledsoe Parker, but that is all I have confirmed for sure, the rest is just speculation. I assume his father was James A. Parker born in NC around 1846.

My great-great grandmother was Cora Lee Parker. Tracing her ancestry from there has been interesting. Her daughter, Laura Lucille Brown, always use to tell us that we were related to Bonnie Parker and Quanah Parker. Of course, she would also say one of her husband's uncles was Pretty Boy Floyd as well..so....:)

I certainly enjoyed hearing from you & yes, one can never have too many friends! You sound like a fun person - "rabbit hole" puts it very well! Looking for viable birth certificates & obits is always a good way to go, but sometimes they're very hard to find! Have you ever tried 'Find a Grave'? That's a good place to go for birth & death dates & sometimes it'll also list the parents. I've enjoyed every minute of my research. It's been so interesting to learn about your ancestors & their lives. Some of them are very impressive!! Sorry none of my names showed up for you, but as you said, they may eventually come into play. Keep searching!!!!
You're the first person to ask to be my friend - thank you!! You asked if I had any Tennesse Parker's in my tree - yes, I do, but after getting on Parker Heritage & seeing the results from the DNA's, I'm not sure you can trust what I have. I just sent in my own DNA so I'm hoping to be better informed when I get it back. But this is what I have on my two Tennesse Parker's. First one - born 1855 in TN, died 1888 in GA. Daughter of Thomas J Parker & Elizabeth Light. Married Thomas Jefferson Bandy. Second one - born 1856 in TN, died April 13, 1928 in AR. Daughter of Thomas Jefferson Parker & Margaret Herbison. Married Julian Glen Davidson. I have all the other dates for everybody & also the children these two had if you want them. Somebody may come back & tell us this is all wrong, but this is what I have - at least for now. Hope it helps.
