    I am descended from Peter Parker born in 1771, died April 9, 1860, Union County, NC, through his daughter, Barbara. My ancestor, Levi Smith, was Barbara's son. To further complicate matters, Levi married Sarah Parker (1815-1862). Sarah is descended from Elijah Parker b. 1782, d. 1856, married Margaret Ann Jenkins. I do not know who Levi Smith's father was, but Levi was raised by his uncle, William "Billy" Anderson who was married to his aunt, a "Parker girl". In the 1850 Union County, NC census, William Anderson and Levi Smith were neighbors. Family tradition holds that Levi Smith's father was a Samuel Smith, and that Levi's mother was a sister to Billy Anderson's wife. Prior to 1900, a large group of Parkers/Smiths/Nelsons migrated to Tattnall County, GA. One of the Parker kin created Claxton fruitcake. Five Nelson sisters from this group married three Parker brothers, and two Smith brothers. This made for many "double first" cousins. The migration came about due to a feud, which came about when a Parker, Stack and Carelock boy were involved in a horse race and there was a dispute about who won. My grandfather, who died in 1957, worked for many years to answer Don Darrell Reid's question posted, "Any idea who Margaret Jenkins parents were?" Granddaddy shared his work with Frances Parker, who wrote a book about the Parkers -- the only copy of which I've ever seen is housed in the Georgia Archives in Atlanta.

      Kathy, I'm descended from Elisha Parker, the Quaker, b. c. 1725, died 1806 in Wayne County, NC. I'm following my kinsman, also descended from Elisha, who is test P411, into Family Group #1. May I join this Facebook group?

    Hello,
    I am a direct descendant of Elijah Parker and Margaret Ann Jenkins (Peggy) . Through their daughter Margaret Ozinia Parker (Zina). She married William Deese. He is buried at The First Baptist Church of Pageland, SC, Chesterfield County. He died in 1900. She went to live with her daughter, Martha Deese, my great grandmother and her husband, Joshua Hinson in Rock Hill, SC, York County. They are buried at Laurelwood Cemetary there. I am trying to find the indian from the Parkers. If they were from Bertie County NC then more than likely it is Tuscarora, which is Iroquois. Any idea who Margaret Ann Jenkins parents were ? Thanks

      Hi Don!
      I'm sorry, but I just now saw your post a year late. I haven't been getting notifications for a long time. I just posted that I have a Facebook group for our Group #1 Parkers, and we have a genetic genealogist who is analyzing our dna. Please let me know if your are interested!

    My father John Odessa Parker was born in 1921 and raised in Milam County Texas. I do not know anything about his mother, Edna maiden name, possibly Sparks, possibly Hargit! I was always told that she was adopted by a preacher when she was little! My mom apparantly had seen my grandmothers father and she always said he was indian! My dads father was Wade Parker but I do not
    know anything else about my Parker Family!

    I just recently discovered my Parker line of Sarah Ann Parker b 1832 Gates Co., NC m 1849 James Taylor b 1828. I was intrigued by the church pictured on your face page. It looks like an English church. Does anyone have any information about it? Or about my Gates Co., NC Parkers? Thanks so much!
    • Kathy Jo Bryant > Shirley Boyette Rudin August 9, 2015 at 9:42am
      Shirley, that is the Kirby Hill, North Yorkshire church in England. We are in Parker Y-DNA Family group #1. We have a Y-DNA match from that town in England.

    My family is bound and determined to be related to someone notorious and when it wasn't Quanah, they now want it to be Bonnie Parker. According to my Great aunt Hattie my Ggrandpa used to claim to be first cousins. Can't be. My Ggrandpa was Henry Jess Parker son of John Wesley and Ann Short Parker. Any one so me evidence yah or nah. I am thinking nah but they will need the proof. Tanks for all the help.
