Welcome to Parker Heritage!

Patience Parker b. ~1742

Thank you for accepting me into Parker Heritage. My 5 GGM was Patience Parker b. ~1742, who married James Sellers. They lived in Chatham, NC and migrated to TN. I have atDNA matches to both Parker and Benton ancestors - I am investigating whether Patience came from a Parker-Benton marriage. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

👋 Hi there, nice to meet all of you cousins.

Thank you Michael Parker for setting this all up. It's a pleasure to meet all of you cousins! I'm Barbara Tien. My grandmother married into the Parker family by wedding Ross Isaac Parker in Schenectady, New York, where he was a young engineer for General Electric in 1915 or so. His father, grandfather, and back generations were all Quakers who had come to Indiana and Ohio from North Carolina with the great Quaker migrations. I've found these stories fascinating precisely because they connect me…

Long Lost Parker!


I hope this finds you well. I am James Parker. Direct descendant of the Parkers of Ashe County, North Carolina. For the past four years, I have been stuck at my fifth-great-grandfather, Jesse Parker (1805 NC- 1871 Ashe County, NC). He lived on in North Fork which is located in the Creston area of Ashe; directly next to Mountain City, TN. I have my ancestors accounted for from Jesse downward. Alas, I have not found Jesse's parents. Family tradition states that his father was a man named…
