Peter Parker 1802-1898, and Mary Francis Burke

I have 2 DNA matches that are direct descendants of Frank Hannibal Parker, 1871-1960, born in Orange Beach, Baldwin, Alabama, USA, died in Pensacola, FL.  Most family members have no idea who his parents were, as he and his bother were raised in Pensacola, FL by someone other than his immediate family.  His brother's name was Charles Colas or Cotas Parker.  

One person on ancestry.com has his father as Peter Parker 1802-1898, and mother as Mary Francis Burke who died about 1873. 

Does anyone have information on this Peter Parker?  He would not be my great grandfather's direct connection, but might help me get a good lead on him.  Thanks

Trisha

  • One other note is that there was a John Parker, listed in a census born at around the same time as John Henry Parker, living near where my Great Grandmother Margaret Raulerson lived as follows:

    NAME: Berry Parker (I add 1831-1905)
    [Berry F. Parker]
    AGE IN 1860: 25
    BIRTH YEAR: abt 1835
    BIRTHPLACE: Georgia
    HOME IN 1860: Division 17, Alachua, Florida
    GENDER: Male
    POST OFFICE: Newnansville
    HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS:
    NAME AGE
    Berry Parker 25
    Jane B Parker 27
    John Parker 8

    I have found no documentation one way or the other to determine if he is my great grandfather.

    His father Berry F. Parker was the son of Richard Hall Parker (1801-1863)
  • I don't know who added me to the group. I simply looked at my profile and there it was. Patricia Parker attempted to help me fine My Parker ancestors, but after looking at my family tree she noted that I had done a pretty complete search and that I had marked the names of those I was not sure of with a question mark. However, I will provide information to you as well.

    My grandmother was Mary Ida Parker (sometimes known as Ida Mary Parker), Birth 29 Aug 1880 in Moniac, Charlton, GA; Death 20 Mar 1956 in Tallahassee, Leon, FL (but lived in Foley, Taylor County, FL at that time. She married James Edward Mixon.

    She was the daughter of John Henry Parker; Birth Jan 1850 in Florida, Death 1917 (probably in Georgia). John Henry Parker first married Margaret Michal Raulerson (1854- unknown) on 15 Jan 1873. She was the daughter of Westberry Raulerson (1818-1887) and Elizabeth Canaday (1823-1905) John Henry and Margaret had two children:
    Charles Wesley Parker (1878-1947) who married Maryann Roberts (B 10 Sep 1879 in Clinch, Georgia and D 17 May 1961 in Jacksonville, FL
    Mary Ida Parker (my grandmother)

    John Henry divorced Margaret and then married Mary M. Moore B Oct 1862 in GA and D 1910, perhaps in Lowndes County, GA. They had two children:
    Mary M. Moore, B Jul 1894 in Florida, D aft 1956 in Hahira, Lowndes, Georgia, USA She married George R. Walker
    John Henry Parker, Jr. B 8 Mar 1897 in Florida, D 6 Apr 1953 in NY

    I know that John Henry Parker lived in Valdosta, GA in 1906, as that is mentioned in a letter from John Henry Parker, Jr to Mary Ida Parker. He also mentions their Aunt Vianna who was living in "North Georgia, Calhoon, Georgia near Chattanooga, Tennessee."

    That is all I can find on my Parker relatives, other than census reports here and there. Then the DNA matches came along, so I thought I might get a clue from finding Frank Hannibal Parker's family.
  • Give us the name of your great grandfather plus dates, places, marriage and other children plus Mary Ida dates and places. Give us more to research. Who put you in family #7, Wayne Parker, Patricia Parker or myself?
  • I found the matches of which I spoke with an autosomal DNA test with ancestry.com. I only know that my mtDNA is H1-T16189C, as I found that with an mtDNA test. It is my grandmother, Mary Ida Parker's father that begins all I know of my Parker line. Someone did put me in Parker Group #7 when I first joined Parker Heritage, but I don't really know if I belong there.
  • Which Parker yDNA Project family do you link to? I am Family #7 subject P185 in the Project. Check the yDNA tab on top of main.
