👋 Hi there, nice to meet all of you cousins.

My grandmother married into the Parker family by wedding Ross Isaac Parker in Schenectady, New York, where he was a young engineer for General Electric in 1915 or so. His father, grandfather, and back generations were all Quakers who had come to Indiana and Ohio from North Carolina with the great Quaker migrations. I've found these stories fascinating precisely because they connect me…

Alas, I have not found Jesse's parents. Family tradition states that his father was a man named…
