Help me find my Parker ancestors.

Posted by Cassandra Faye Huett Willingham on January 26, 2015 at 6:51am

My mother is Gwenan Faye Parker.

My grandfather was Lawrence Parker, Sr. (9 July 1929 Arkansas/Missouri - 16 October 2004, Georgia). He was a twin. He married Mary McCasland.

My great grandfather was Emery James Parker (28 June 1895 Missouri/Arkansas - 22 June 1988, Lake City, Craighead, Arkansas).  He married Florence Bryant (22 August 1897, Alabama - 9 July 1926) on 1 August 1915, Poinsett, Arkansas.

This information was gathered from relatives and the few census records I could find online.  Any help on this line would be very much appreciated.

    Lawrence Sr and Lawrence Jr are my Grandfather and Great Grandfather I believe. I'm waiting on something from Vital Records.

    That is definitely my grandfather. My mom said he and Florence were raised by Ed but she didn't know anything about an adoption so they may have just been the twin's guardians. Can you confirm if this is your relative as well?
  • Cassandra Faye Huett Willingham February 16, 2015 at 9:00am
    It would seem that would be my grandfather but I'm confused by the adopted son thing. I asked my mom about it and I'm waiting on her response.

    They were fraternal twins which I had heard ran in the family. His twin was female.
