I hope this finds you well. I am James Parker. Direct descendant of the Parkers of Ashe County, North Carolina. For the past four years, I have been stuck at my fifth-great-grandfather, Jesse Parker (1805 NC- 1871 Ashe County, NC). He lived on in North Fork which is located in the Creston area of Ashe; directly next to Mountain City, TN. I have my ancestors accounted for from Jesse downward. Alas, I have not found Jesse's parents. Family tradition states that his father was a man named Nathan (or William) Parker, born in England, and settled in Guilford County, NC sometime after the Revolutionary War. (sigh) I have found no evidence for Nathan or William Parker. I hope that someone on this site may have information regarding the Parkers of Ashe County and our origins before Ashe. My Parker family became rather small and now consists of many, unknown, cousins, but no other Parker relatives other than my immediate family. Through FTDNA, I belong to Parker FG#7.
