West Central Wisconsin Parkers

Hi Cousins,

I am looking to validate the info I have, and to further my exploration of my Mothers side of our Family. Her name was Marjorie Marcella Parker married to my father Frank Corneilius Matzke. She was born Jan. 4th 1927 and died Dec. 25th 1995. I have a deceased brother who died at birth, Frances C Matzke B. 1947.

Her father, my Gr #1 was Ted Lee Parker married to Elvah Ellen Martin. He was B. Aug. 31st, 1906 and died mid 1960's. They had 10 children, Rohland William, Marjorie Marcella, Orville ?, Arlene Marie, Vonnie C, Robert Delman, Dale Teddy, Corlene Jean, Wanda May, and Dixie Lee.

Gr #2 Teds father was Isaac Ezekial (Zeke) Parker,  B. Apr. 25th, 1854, Died 1927. He married twice, first to May Patton 1879. Their Children were, Bertha D. 1970, Olive 1879-1973, Della (Dilly) 1880-1965, Evie May 1887-1912, Andrew M (Bud) 1889-1970, Ed Thomas 1890-1976, Lloyd 1891-1923, (twin) Loyal 1891-1956, Purda (Trudy) 1892-1897........Second wife Emma L (Jones) Cox. and their children, Unnamed girl D. unknown, Johny ?, Elgin ?, Sarahanna ?, Glen Cox (hers), Ole Cox (hers, Isaac Ezekial (Ike) 1899-1986, Amy A 1900-1972, Josephine ? 1903-?, Ted Lee 1906- 1960 something, Jennie Mae Dates ?, Lenna Merrietta Dates?

From here it is questionable.I was told Zeke's father was Andrew Marrion (Marrium ?) Parker, B. 1835 in Rush Couty IN, and Died 1863 in Howard Couty IN. Married to Sarah Stout in 1853. They had 3 sons, Isaac Ezekial B. Apr. 25th 1854, John M B. 1856, and Job Elias Alex Andrew B. 1858. After Andrew died, Sarah took the 3 children to Vernon County WI, and married Calvin P Rice on Nov. 10th 1867.

Please help me with any information you have. I would appreciate it very much. Thank You, Judy L (Matzke) Tenner

  • Judy,

    Have one of your male Parkers done the DNA test? The members of FG10 (descendants of the 5 brothers) may be connected and have been trying to find one of your line to compare against.

    I detoured through Reading (home of Thomas) last night on my way home. I keep forgetting to stop and visit that cemetery, which was put together in the 18th century - too late for Thomas, but there are a couple of hundred of what must be his descendants there.

    There is a typo in your link, it lists Thomas dying in 1863 as opposed to 1683.

    Regards,
    Jack Parker
  • Thanks Judy. My Grandfather was Clarence and my father was Burliss. I remember visiting some of the relatives when I was little.
  • Hi Fran, I am so pleased to hear from you. I never knew your Ggrandfather Ed. I did know Jennie and Lenna pretty well, and I remember visiting Josie a few times. I have a list of our Grandfathers from Generation to Generation that (I think) is correct, however I haven't been to our library to to get on one of the paid sights to validate it. This is my list. My Grandfather Ted (And Eds) Father was Issac Ezekial Parker 1854-1927, next~ Andrew Marion Parker 1835-1863, next~ Ezekial Parker 1790-?, next~ Asa Parker 1770-?, next~ LT. Asa Parker 1740-1809, next~ Bejamin Parker 1703-1741 0r 2, next~ John Parker Jr. 1668-1741, next~ Sergeant John Parker 1640-1698 or 9, next~ Deacon Thomas Parker 1605-1683, next~ John Parker 1583-1638, next~ Yeoman John Parker 1560-1613, next~ John Parker 1525-1581, next~ Thomas Parker Jr. 1496-?, next~ Thomas Parker 1471-?, next~ Adam Parker 1364-?. Deacon Tomas Parker was the first to come over to America. This might interest you http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/gen/report/rr02/rr02_202.html If you find any thing else, or that I have made any mistakes anywhere...please let me know. With these names and dates you should be able to find out a lot.
  • Please let me know what you find out. My Great Grandfather was Ed which is Ted's brother.
  • Thank you for your comments and help in my family search. I have since found a possible match to Andrew Marrions father. Ezekial Parker born 1790, Married to Susannah Early Aug. 28th 1817 in Lincoln, North Carolina. They had 10 children, Asa Born 1882, Elizabeth 1823 in North Carolina, Barbary 1825 in Indiana, Susanna 1829, Rosanna 1830 in North Carolina, Joseph 1831 in Indiana, Andrew Marrion 1835 in Rush, Indiana, Sarah 1841 in Indiana, Martin 1844 in Indiana, and Melinda 1846 in Indiana. This would be my #6th Grandfather, and I'm stuck here because I don't know who Ezekials father and mothers names etc. I could use some help going on from here.
  • Hello, Judy Tenner and welcome to Parker Heritage.

    Your tree as posted is quite comprehensive. I am not exactly sure what type of validation you want, but the spot check I took through the rest of it was noted routinely in censuses. The part you dub questionable is very interesting, and I can see why there may be some ? about your, mine, and our families and generations..

    Before I try to sort that out here online, some of which has conflicting data, please email me to advise what you want to know about Andrew, Ezekial, Sarah, and others. Reach me at jandpparker@msn.com. We can exchange.
