Hi Terry,
I have spend the last 2 and 1/2 years working on the FG#7 family trying to connect all our members back to our common ancestor, William Parker (born about 1604). Not there yet but I know a whole lot more now than I did when I started.
I would like to share one of the planing tips with you as it may give you and your researchers some ideas.
One of the first requirements was that I needed one file with all of FG# members information added to it so that I could have a working file. I now have my file constructed in a way that it not only helps me but other research members of FG#7. I can add new members to the group and well as add them back to William Parker our common ancestor as we find it. I have some great cousins who have shared their research with me.
You can look at my file at this link.

Good luck on getting you research underway. Although I have no known direct connections to FG#5, I do have several indirect connections to FG#5 and I am interested in FG#5 research.

Are you or have you ever been "terry@worldfamilies.net" lol.
So I'm not sure how much you've gleaned from this site concerning my family's search for James m.Anna Doty of BaskingRidgeNJ. Everyone in my family always said we were related to ElderJohn, but didn't know exactly how. Many say a George or a John and still possibly Nathaniel -just not the one everyone thought or still thinks. I feel no closer to finding the connection even after yDNA confirmed it. But it's been an informative historical search into NewJersey, Virginia and Massachusett's history. But James' parents remain unknown.
The connection to BaskingRidge Dotys who leased land from Lord Stirling (Alexander) who is related in multiple/various ways to PG5 pulls me there. The many Berkeley's resting w/James in Parker Cemetery (near Hutton-ColesCo.IL) have been linked back to New Jersey as well. A seemingly unrelated Parker gave refuge to Gov.Berkeley during Bacon's Rebellion.
Where do you believe Elder John, Aaron, Asher, George, John, Richard, my James and other PG5 ancestors came from? There are numerous PG5 orphans mentioned by name and some just mentioned as minor sons -in Alexander, Grant, and Johnston(e) wills. Surely one fits the bill.
Thanks for all you've already done,
JamesDavidParker
Hello, Terry Barton - I hope you will help me straighten up my data base on the following about your ancestral line back to Elder John Parker:
I find Martha Washington Barton married to Peyton L. Parker who died in the Civil War. His family was in Nevada, Arkansas, and his widow married again later. Peyton L. Parker was a lineal ancestor of Fess Parker Jr., Project Family Group #7, who died 2010 in California. And I note your name attached to several citations on Rootsweb sites..
To keep my database correct, can you advise how or if you are related to either the Barton or Peyton L. Parker line? And/or how you are descended from Elder John Parker?
I look forward to hearing from you.
