I believe
Peter Parker is my eighth great grandfather through his Eldest son,
John, through John's son,
James, through James' son
Amos who married Mary Farlee/Farlow. I represent Parker Family Group #1, cousin of P37. I have also proven the ancestry of P100, also in Parker Group #1, who positively descends from
Joseph Parker, a brother of John, and both mentioned in the Will of Peter Parker. Please contact me.
Hi Wayne,
Today, I have determined that there are at least three testors for the Y-DNA Parker Family Group #1, who I was personally responsible for, and who descend from the
three sons of Peter Parker. I believe (P37 is
still to be proven to John Anderson Brayton, and is in my direct line). They are as follows:
P37, descends from John, eldest son, in Peter's will.
P149, descends from Thomas.
P100, descends from Joseph.
