Hello! I'm Cherith and I'm new...Lol. just figuring out how to navigate this site, so if I've made an error in posting, I'm sorry. I've recently discovered through court documents (I do not have the actual document, just what has been transcribed on a message board) and through two grave listings on find a grave abd from the will of my 5xgreat grandfather, that Elijah Martin Parker, born c 1808, is the "natural" father of my 3xgreat grandfather, William Dawson Hutchins. Sally Hutchins and her father, Thomas Hutchins, brought Elijah Parker before the court as the father of her illegitimate child. Now I come to my question : I'm seeking information on the parents of Elijah Martin Parker. Also, any descendants of Mr Parker that would like to connect, I'd be happy to do so! Thank you!

Elijah Martin Parker was born in 1837, the son of Elijah Parker (1808-1860) and his first wife Lettice Grayson Parker.He was my g-g-g grandfather. His son, Lenore Avery Parker, born to Elijah's second wife, Delilah Philips Parker, is my g-g grandfather and half brother to your ancestor Elijah Martin Parker. It was the senior Elijah Parker, not Elijah Martin Parker, who is the father of WIlliam Dawson Hutchins, if I understand the matter correctly.
Yeah, that might have been nice of me, huh...I'll get it together one of these days..like I said, I'm new, sigh...I'll get what I have and know about him and put it up here.
