  Yes it does. George immigrated in 1881 and joined his sons.  My Line-

  1. George Weaver and Elizabeth Beet

  2. James Beet Parker and Mary Angeline Richmond

  3. Ellen Elizabeth “ Nellie” Parker and Samuel John Anderson.

  4. Marye Gertrude Anderson to William Nathaniel Worcester.

  5. Ellen Joyce Worcester to Richard Dean McLaud.

  Dear J. D:
  
  Thanks for the kind words but I have a strong suspicion I don't belong in PG5.
  Evidence suggests my ggg grandfather Philip Parker 1759-1829 is a son of Nathaniel Parker 1730-1803.   Articles all over the internet and dozens of Ancestry.com trees think Elder John also belongs to Nathaniel, but I understand from you and Wayne that DNA has disproven this.  It is also a striking anomaly that all Nathaniel's other kids were born in Virginia but Elder John was apparently born in Baltimore.  The lineage I am relatively confident in:
  
  Daniel Lee Parker-1944-
  Quanah Finley Parker 1907-1946 Birth Certificate
  James Hezekiah Parker 1875-1951 Death Certificate, Obituaries, Census Records
  Rev. William F. Parker 1844-1920 Census Records
  Rev. Hezekiah Vickers Parker 1810-1852 Census Records
  Philip Parker 1759-1829 (Circumstantial so far)
  
  Now if Philip is indeed a son of Nathaniel Parker 1730-1803 (PG-18), that is probably where I belong.

  Thanks
  dan

  Congratulation on a job well done by you and your team. I know that you all are looking forward to Feb. 2015.  

  I will also join Mike in what he said, as this is a huge achievement for FG#5 and we at Parker Heritage are very proud of you.

  Nice work for James David and David Paul! You have made Parker Heritage proud. This is a huge achievement on behalf of Parker history.

  To update you on goings on, David Paul Parker and I along with a few other family members and several neighbors of Parker Cemetery are currently beaming with pride as Eastern Illinios University (EIU) is focused on our family history. They are having a full two-day presentation 20-21 February,2015 at Charleston,IL on "Primitive Parkers" -of Elder John, and "Prairie Parkers" -my direct line. Our Parker Cemetery clean-up inspired the local anthropolgist (and cemetery neighbor!) Professor Carolyn Stephens to become very active. She currently teaches at Lakeland, but did also at EIU. Her contacts resulted in a GIS and drone survey by EIU professors and students in conjuction with state officials. Yeah, it's getting big. The two day event will also showcase a  re-release of the 1920 b/w film "Daughter of Dawn" and encore presentation of "The Searchers" w/John Wayne. The state of Texas has graciously contributed Elder John family documents, I believe including a bible but I'm not sure. We have been asked to bring any family relics of the time and tell our family histories.

  Would any of the Parker Group 5 researchers like to join me as a co-administrator of the Parker Group5 DNA project and also work with me in compiling all of the Group 5 pedigrees in one place?
• Terry Barton July 1, 2014 at 3:32pm

  Apparently, I lost my first reply to your posting today.  Yes, I am terry@worldfamilies.net

  Do you know when your James Parker arrived in Coles Co and where he came from? The same yDNA profile and being in Coles Co IL at the same time as Elder John's family doesn't feel like a coincidence

  I see a lot of good paper trail info on various Group 5 lines scattered through these pages.  The way my brain works, I need to see these in one place - so I am thinking about collecting them all on the Parker Group5 Patriarch page

  I don't know where Elder John came from.  I am wondering who were his uncles, his brothers, his cousins, etc. - and when and where he was located in the same place with them and when and why he split away.  (or if he did)

  James David, I just looked at the Parker Group 5 Results page and see that the men whose results we have so far are exactly the same from marker 38 to 67.  sigh.  One of the reasons I started Parker Group 5 project was to have easy access to those markers.

  I do note that you and kit 340623 (John P. Parker , b. 1846 and d. 1916) share a mutation to 19 on marker DYS576.  This suggests, but doesn't prove, that you two are more closely related to each other than to the other men in Parker Group 5.  Have you done any work with him to see if your paper trails cross?  (the 19s have a small chance of coming from two separate mutations in your two families, but the more likely possibility is that they were inherited from the same recent Parker ancestor)

  Hi James David.  I can't tell whether you have joined the Parker Group5 DNA Project yet or not.  If I can get you and the other men in Group 5 to join this splinter project for our group, we can work on identifying any mutations which can identify folks who are more closely related to each other than to the Group 5.

  Hello, James David:  Since you are so involved in the Elder John family, have you gotten acquainted with Allan R. Brockway of Florida who is a member here?  He is closely related to Elder John through his grandmother, Luella Parker Brockway who grew up in Olathe, Kansas.  And the people who currently own the

  Parker home in Olathe have also posted here.
