Betty Smith Collins Parker family.

[Wayne N. Parker]

 

 

 

I am posting this information about Betty Smith Collins Parker family.

This Parker family is part of the Project DNA as Family Group #32 (FG#32) and although some members had married into Parker FG#7 I am not directly related to them as a member of FG#7.

 

Betty you wrote “We have been told Louisa Parker was full blood Echota Cherokee... looking for proof.” I don't have any knowledge one way or the other about Louisa Parker and her Cherokee connections except there is no way she could be a full blood Echota Cherokee because her Parker father Silas Parker (1804-1860) belongs to Parker FG#32.

 

Since this information is posted as an outline, please feel free to ask any questions.

[Betty Smith Collins]

Do you know if any where Cherokee?

[Wayne N. Parker]

I have not done any research on the Cherokee, I know that other members of PH have.
Wayne

[Betty Smith Collins]

Is there a FG#32 here? I do not have a straight line Parker I know to test... I do have the family of Silas Parker and Nancy Jones to myself. Do you have info on a marriage for Silas and Nancy? Or where I can look? Death Cert for Amanda and Edmund D. show her to be Nancy Fulch/Fulks....

[Wayne N. Parker]

Since I am part of Parker FG#7 I have lots of information on FG#7 and my direct Parker line is from Bedford Co., TN. I researched the other Parker families that also lived in Bedford Co., TN and that is how/why your Parker family is in my file. I have not done any resent research on your family, I just don't have the information that you are looking right now.

Wayne

[Betty Smith Collins]

ok, so does the FG#7 meet up with the FG#32? Bedford?

[Wayne N. Parker]

Yes that is correct. Elijah and Mary Harris Parker (FG#7) of Bedford Co., TN were my 3rd great-grand parents and some of their descendants married into the Parker family of FG#32.
After Mary died Elijah married Rosannah Barringer they did not have any children together but Rosannah Barringer descendants by her first husband Joseph Covey also married into Parker family of FG#32.
Wayne

[Betty Smith Collins]

I guess that makes us cousins removed... somehow...lol...

[Wayne N. Parker]

Betty, I just pulled up the kinship file on my Family Tree Maker program and we are not direct kin to each other. We are kin to some of the same cousins. Any way we are both interested in our family history. Wayne
