My name is Gary Parker- P441. I see on the YDNA Results that your test identifies your Ancestor as Richard Parker, abt 1785 VA. My 67 places me a Genetic Distance of 2 from Richard. I am hoping that you might have identified a brother of Richard since my test revealed a probable 2nd cousin. Any help would surely be appreciated. Thank you.

Richard Parker - b. 1785 possibly in Culpeper, VA
Married Sarah Williams in 1808 in Harrison Co. VA
A Thomas Cottrill is listed as his guardian on the marriage record.
Richard lived in Parkersburg, VA for some time.
Richard moves to Pleasant, Allen, Indiana in or around 1840 and purchased 160 acres of land (May 10, 1848)
Richard & Sarah had 4 sons:
Thomas Parker
Wellington Parker
Nathaniel Parker
George Washington Parker
Between 1845-1849, Thomas Parker (my 3rd great grandfather) emigrated to Michigan, which started my Parker lineage in Michigan.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot conform who Richard Parker’s parents are. He may have been an orphan? This is quite a mystery!
I hope this helps!
