I'm descended from Elisha Parker who married Elizabeth ___________, and whose daughter Clarkey Parkerb. 1754 m. Thomas Henby in 1773 (Perquimans Monthly Meeting). Thomas & Elizabeth's other children were Peninah b. 1756 m. Jesse Hall, Elizabeth b 1759 m. GNU Cook, Sarah b. 1761 m. Luke Woodard, poss. Isaac b. 1764 m Elizabeth Albertson, Mary b. c. 1771 m. Elijah Coleman, Jesse b. c. 1772 m. Ann Horn, Thomas b. 1778 m. Anna Peele, Nathan b. c. 1785 m. Sally Outland. The Parkers first appear in the records of the Pasquotank MM, move to the Perquimans MM about 1770, and then to Dobbs/Wayne Co (Contentnea MM) about 1778 - 1780. I've not found any mention of Elisha's parents in the Quaker records, so perhaps he was a Quaker by conversion, not by birthright? There is another Parker Quaker family centered around the Rich Square MM in Northampton family. They marry into some of the same families, and move to Indiana at about the same time. In 1790, my Elisha Parker appears on the census in Wayne County. There are two Elisha Parkers in Gates County, one in Chowan county, one in Bertie County, one in Rockingham County, one in Perquimans County, and a Elisha Parker Junior and senior just across the border in Cheraws District, South Carolina. I'm hoping to find out if my Parkers are related to the Parkers on this site.

Hello,
I don't know if we have the same people or not. I am not a Parker but a researcher of the Parker's from Halifax Co. VA. My interest is a Francis Parker who's DNA is listed under F16 and died in 1807 in Smith Co. Tenn. And along with Francis Parker of Smith Co. Tenn is a Jesse Parker of Wayne Co. North Carolina. So was researching this Jesse Parker with DNA F16 and your name came up. I have found this Book on Google which you can read called
History of Randolph Co. Indiana. With Illustrations and Biographical. It's speaks of Jesse Parker son of Thomas and Ann Peele Parker. Now I know these records aren't always accurate but does give major clues to family line.

PARKER, Thomas, son of Elisha & Elizabeth Parker, Richmond County, NC., & Anne PEELE, daughter of Passco &

I also found on line the Quaker information.

Thomas and Ann Peele/Peale of Parker, son Jesse Parker.
The first settlers in the area were non-Friends who arrived in 1805. The area was organized as Wayne County in 1810, and, though Friends were active citizens, none of the original officers of the county were Quakers. Two Friends were appointed to the commission that was to select the location for the county seat of Wayne County.
In the northern part of Wayne County, which became Randolph County in 1818, settlement was also occurring. Thomas W. and Anne (Peele) Parker and their three children made the first white settlement in what became Randolph County in April 1814.
The Parkers were members of Piney Grove Monthly Meeting of Friends in Marlborough County, South Carolina, but had been residents of Richmond County, North Carolina. They settled in what is now Greensfork Township, Randolph County, on Nolan's Fork, just west of where the village of Arba today stands. Their son Jesse recalled years later that he believed that his parents went to meeting the next "First Day" after they arrived, traveling seven miles through the woods to New Garden Meetinghouse. John and Achsah (Peele...

So just trying to make connections back to see if we can connect these Parker's of F16.
Let me know if we can see if we can take this connection back to Halifax Co. or Smith Co. Tenn.
Thanks Hudson/Parker researcher
Welcome to Parker Heritage, Jan! Who knows? Maybe we are cousins!
Jan, Thank-you for checking this for me. I'll keep digging. If I see anything new about your Parkers in the Richmond and Anson County records I'll let you know.
Jan, Take a look at an old post made by Gail Parker Williams about the Parker's in the Anson & Richmond County N.C. area. She is commenting to Kathy Jo Bryant. She talks about an Elisha & Stephen Parker. She seems to know a lot about the Parker's in this area.
Jan, My Parker's were living about 20 miles north of your Parker's on the west side of the Pee Dee River at the same time. My People branch off of Nicholas Parker who was 19 when he came into the area in 1774 and bought a lot of land in the Burnsville area to farm. Later my people crossed over the river at Grassy Island to a community called Mount Pleasant in present day Richmond County. I am not sure if my Parker's were Quaker I have never seen it mentioned. I also see no immediate connection with your people. I wonder if they knew about each other? There is a book in the reference library in Wadesboro, N.C. about Nicholas Parker's Family. I need to go back and look through it again. I'll update you if I find anything new.
Sorry for the lengthy post but that is what I have been going on. Elihu was my GGGgrandfather. I have not seen any 'solid' link between Elihu and any of the North Carolina Parkers.
State's Rights and served in the Civil War. Elihu
and one of his sons died of typhoid fever. Parker served at
chicamauga and other bloody battles, Anitlla Creed, MD and near
Chattanooga, TN.
Nettles and Mrs. Bernice Morgan and all gave the same account
in their own way, which ties in with the census records of 1860
Amite Co., MS. Two brothers and a Parson family came into the
area from North Carolina traveling together, and settling in
Amite County, MS. The story was told them by their older
relatives. Accourding to Boyce Parker, who had talked with John
H. Parker of Liberty, MS., the Parkers came to America with
William Penn to Pennsylvania. They were Quakers. They got a
grant of land near Philadelphia from the king. Later they
settled in Raleigh, NC.,then came to MS. Grandpa's people
settled north of Mars Hill. The Parsons and Parkers settled
abouth the same time. They didn't believe in slavery, but did
believe in Stat
