Samuel Parker Sr (1795 NC - 1865 Ark) of Parker DNA Group #7 was married at least twice. We believe his second wife was named NANCY and she was born c. 1813 ... they had two daughters, Clementine b. 1853 in Miss. & Leander b. 1855 in Ark. They are in the Ark census of 1860 & 1870 living in Pike Co Ark.
Today I received a message from another Ancestry.com member who wrote: "I think there is a high probability this is Samuel's 2nd wife! Found a marriage in Indiana of a Samuel Parker to Nancy E. Dickson. The date of marriage is 21 Feb 1851 which really caught my eye. No ages or resident state given for the couple. Indiana marriages 1811-2007 Wayne co. 1845-1852 Volume E on Family Search. The time for the marriage fits perfectly, 1st wife passes on Dec. 1850 and he remarried in Feb 1851."
Can any of our members provide any input on this finding? Do any of you have a Samuel Parker who married a Nancy E. Dickson in Wayne Co Ind in 1851?
