John's grandaughter Mahala "Haley" Hubbs married John Grant. Many of the Grants are from this family.

It does indeed apear we are talking about the same Parker family. Of course our being in agreement is not always proof. We could both be wrong.
Unless we can link them somehow, it does appear there could well be 3 distinct Parker families in Knox County KY about the same time and not related to each other.
I also found out a few days ago after I posted my query about Sarah Parker Disney, Joe Thomas Disney and America Hart that my DNA does not match the Hart family from Hawkins County Tennessee. That means that America Hart Disney was not my grandfather's sister as I have long thought.
She was however a cousin. Still, I have researched the family long enough that I have formed an attachment to them and would love to see just wherre it goes.
My known Parker family was my 3rd G-Grandmother Winney Parker that married William M Browning Aug 27, 1837 in Harlan County KY.
As far as I can tell, her parents were Henry Combes Parker born maybe 1790, perhaps Wilkes County NC and Elizabeth Chambers, 1791 Wilkes to 1856 Knox CO., KY. Henry Parker's daddy was said to be John Parker. Here we go with the Johns .

The Knox County marriage record and Sarah Ellen's headstone give her last name as Hutton. The marriage record also says she and her parents were born in Virginia.
I have not checked the census but this is on her page on Find A Grave web site.
"Daughter of Elizabeth SLEMP & Leonard Hutton. Wife of Nathan Brock Parker. Married February 19, 1880, Knox County, Kentucky."
Heltons and Grants are all part of my family in this neck of the woods.

My own Hart family was said to be Cherokee but DNA results for both a male and female Hart came back with no NA DNA markers. I can't speek for the Parkers.
