I am researching Stafford Parker who was elected presidentof the Diamond Diggers Republic in 1871

One of the more sober and respectable figures of Kaapsehoop was Stafford Parker who later ended up in Barberton as a friend of the famous Cockney Liz. He was recognizable by his white top hat and was an auctioneer and claim agent. He first became known in South African history when he was elected, on 30 July 1870, as the President of the Diamond Diggers Republic, at the alluvial diggings of Klipdrift (now Barkley West), which was very short lived. Parker resigned his office in February 1871. The design of the Diggers Republic flag showed the Union Jack in the top right hand corner and a large rearing horse in the centre. This flag was flown daily in the front of the Presidency building. Seeing as how Parker had been a painter before moving to the diggings, it seems more than likely that he might have painted the horse on a Red Ensign himself.

The only known record of this flag is a painting by W McGill, which is in the Africana Museum in Johannesburg.

When alluvial diamonds were found at Hopetown, before the dry diggings at the later Kimberley Diamond Field was established, there was no real Law & Order in the area. This area was subject to all sorts of disputes and various land claims by the Transvaal Republic, The Orange Free State Republic,

The British Cape Colony and the Griquas under Nicholaas Waterboer. In this absence of any form of governmental control, the predominantly British Diggers drew up a code of rules to regulate and manage their affairs on these diggings. Given the fact that all these various claims were lodged on this area, the diggers at Klipdrift the apparent centre on the diggings, established what they termed a "Mutual Protection Association" with Stafford Parker, who had been trading in the area, as their Commandant. Parker was a former seaman in the Royal Navy, a merchant seaman and a painter; he was also at this time a prominent general dealer and owner of a music saloon in Klipdrift.

After a British magistrate had been sent to Klipdrift as well as the aftermath of a very bad flood in December 1870, a lot of diggers moved to the dry diggings at what later became Kimberly. Here Parker opened another store and music saloon.

Parker moved from the Diamond Fields to Lydenburg, where he opened the Masonic Hotel. He was also elected to the Transvaal Republic Volksraad (equivalent to the House of Assembly) as the representative for Lydenburg. Stafford Parker then moved to Kaapsehoop where he established himself as an auctioneer and a claim agent. His appearance was always dignified and well dressed recognizable by his white top hat and in keeping with the image of a former president. When the Barrett brothers, Benjamin and Charles bought the farm Berlyn and exercised their concession rights, Parker along with most of the other diggers and storekeepers at Kaapsehoop left for Barberton

Does anyone have any information on James B. Parker b. 19 Feb 1839 in Greene County, Georgia m. 1 Apr 1867 Greene County, Georgia to Virginia Washington Sayers b. 24 Jun 1842 in Greene County, Georgia.

• ID: I00025

• Name: Richard Parker III

• Sex: M

• Birth: ABT 1676 in Nansemond Co., VA

• Death: 1750 in Chowan Co.,NC

• _FA2: 1728 Parts of Nansemond Co.Va.became part of Chowan Co.N.C.

• _FA3: 1731 He was at a meeting of the Vestry for No.East Parish of Chowan.

• _FA4: 1738 Vestrymen at St.Paul Church Edenton, N.C.

• Event: Y-DNA P239 FG#7 Parker DNA Project

• Note:

Richard Parker III was living in Chowan Co., NC in 1729 but he did not move to NC, In 1728 VA and NC agree to have the diving line between the two states resurveyed as there was a big dispute between the two states as to where the border was located . After the line was run Richard Parker III now lived just over the border in NC and he now has land in both states.

Richard Parker III had at least two wives and maybe three. (1) His first was either Elizabeth (King) or Swann. I have no good proof on either name but I have put his first wife as Elizabeth (King) in my file. We know Elizabeth died about 1728. His wife at his death was Hanna, this information from Chowan court records. He had children by both wives.

Family History The Hunters and the Vestry of St. Paul’s Parish, Chowan, N. C.
Until the 1740s St. Paul’s Church, founded in Edenton, NC in 1701, served the whole parish.  As the community grew, other parts of the precinct needed additional houses of worship.  Costen’s Chapel was built in 1741 by Richard Bond and Jonathan Parker on land James Costen donated from his plantation.  Knotty Pine Chapel dates from 1742, and the vestry minutes attribute its construction to Parker.  Farlee Chapel was the third.  These were located north of Edenton.  Costen’s, also called Costan’s and Constant’s, was near the mill of Isaac Hunter on Bennett’s Creek and Meherrin Swamp.  Knotty Pine, near Sarum, was in the northwest.  Farlee was on Indian Town Creek near Ballard’s Bridge, a few miles north of Edenton.  A sole minister of the parish conducted one service a month at each. The locations of these four chapels are shown on An Accurate Map of North and South Carolina with Their Indian Frontiers . . . by Henry Mouzon and others (London: Robt. Sayer and J. Bennett, May 30, 1775).  Today the sites of the three chapels are in Gates County.  St. Paul’s is in Chowan County.

Served in the Revolution as a patriot of NC (DAR National Number 577733). Jonathan Parker only furnished supplies , he had a son Cader that did serve.
From page 29 of Following The Land by Raymond Parker Fouts. On 20 October 1743, Jonathan Parker proved in court that his family consisted of seven white persons,including himself. Charity his wife, William, Rachel,Jess, Elizabeth and Persilia. She then said that Charity is the daugher of John Benton and I agree because Priscilla Parker Badgett named one of her sons Benton Badgett.
On page 15and page 29 of Following the land, Mrs. Fouts also states that Jonathan Parker is the son of Richard Parker III.
I agree with Mrs. Fouts because Jonathan is also listed in Richard III will as a son.
She also said that Jonathan apparently died after Hertford Co., was formed in 1759,and before Gates was formed in 1779.
I will prove that instead he moved to Granville Co., N.C. instead by using land deeds, court records and then by his will.

Parkers’ Farm

Henry Dale Parker

Paul Reagor Parker

In the late nineteenth century, innovation in the field of livestock breeding resulted in more productive beef cattle and swine herds. A brief review of Parkers’ Farm identifies this Century Farm as a key contributor to the popularity of Angus cattle in Middle Tennessee. Located in the Raus Community of Bedford County, Parkers’ Farm is one of the oldest in Bedford County. Elijah Parker, a North Carolina native, established the homestead in the early 1800s and acquired the title in 1812. Parker was married twice but his first wife, Mary Harris Parker, bore all of his fourteen children. Active in local politics and community affairs, Elijah also farmed over 400 acres of land, cultivating clover, cattle, horses, and grain.

Elijah and Mary’s son Daniel Parker acquired about 410 acres of the farm in 1850. A prominent Bedford County politician, Daniel Parker served in the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1861. Like those of his neighbors, Parker’s farm yielded small grains and livestock. Daniel also married three times and had four children.

By 1885 Henry T. Parker, Daniel’s son by his third wife Susan W. G. Parker, had acquired 374 acres of Parkers’ Farm. He continued to grow the same crops as his grandfather and father, but Henry was an innovator in livestock production. The first member of the American Angus Association in Tennessee, Parker played a key role in introducing the Angus breed to the region.

Daniel W. Parker, the third of Henry and May Shofner Parker’s five children, inherited 200 acres of the farm in 1936. Like his father, Daniel was eager to improve farm efficiency. In 1936, intrigued by the federal government’s Rural Electric Co-op program, he helped to organize the Duck River Electric Membership Corporation. Daniel served as its secretary/treasurer until the early 1970s.

In 1972, Henry Dale and Paul Reagor Parker, the great great grandsons of Elijah Parker, inherited the family farm of 200 acres.

• Note:

I enjoy doing this research it is a labor of love on my part. I hope other can and will be able to use the information that I have included in this file to fill in the blanks in their genealogy research.
This genealogy research is my way of remembering the ones who have passed on as I too will be gone someday
Researching the following Y-DNA Parker Family Group #7 see this link. http://web.utk.edu/~corn/parkerdna/park5.htm
I want to give a great big thank you to my first cousin Homie Parker Holly for starting me down the long winding path in 1991. I also want to thank my late cousin Stephen M. Lawson for all the work he did. His web site is still up (Sept. 2013) at this link. http://kinnexions.com/smlawson/parkerr.htm#EParker

A big thanks to cousin Paul Parker of Shelbyville, Bedford Co., TN ( Paul and his brother Dale) still own Elijah Parker (my line) old home place. Located in the Raus Community of Bedford County, Parkers’ Farm is one of the oldest in Bedford Co., TN. Paul has many of the record from Elijah Parker, these records have help me in 1991 trace our Parker back to Richard Parker I.
I want to thank all the members of FG#7 who are helping me with this research and thanks to all of my cousins who have shared their work with me. i appreciate all the information and encouragement you all have provided to me. Wayne Nelson Parker P239.
Members of FG#7 are P11,35,69,83,91,92,106,110,113,120,140,175,183,175,183,184,185,198,212,220 ,239,257,280,283,296,303,316,317,353,355,367,368,371,386,401,402

NOTE: See more information about members of FG#7 listed under Richard Parker I son of this William Parker.
Thanks to Raymond Parker Fouts and her great book "Following The Land". She is a very dear lady. NOTE: There are a least three different Y-DNA Groups of Parker families in her book!!!!!

I have tried to do the best research that I can but please check the information before you use it, errors happens. Corrections and updates always welcome. THANKS Wayne N. Parker"
I am 99.998% sure that FG#7 line is from Richard Parker I of Nansemond Co.,VA and by land records of William Parker born 1604 see below, I am now 99.998% sure that this William is the father of Richard Parker I.
At this time July 2013 I am not sure if William had a son named Thomas due to Y-DNA research this line belongs to FG#1
so I have separated the Thomas Parker born Bet. 1626 - 1630 line from William Parker born 1604.

Based on my research (Wayne Nelson Parker) This William Parker born 1604 (FG#7) is not the son of Captain William Parker "The Mariner". I have an abstract of the will for Captain William Parker dated January 16,1617 proven December 4,1619. THERE WAS NO SON NAMED William Parker listed in his will !!!!!!!!! IN FACT BASED ON Y-DNA, William Parker "The Mariner" belongs to Parker FG#12 NOT FG#7!!!
The year of William Parker birth of 1604 is found below, for when the census was taken on February 7,1624/25 his age is 20 years old. Yes he came over in 1616 in the Charles and some researches think that means he was born in 1596 but that is not what the record below shows.
http://www.virtualjamestown.org/
In June 1624, King James I assumed responsibilty for the colony of Virginia after he dissolved the Virginia Company of London. He ordered Virginia's leaders to make a record of the colony's inhabitants and their provisions. This census-known as the 1624/5 Muster-is the first comprehensive account of households in British North America. In addition, it is the only extant census for seventeenth-century Virginia. A 1623/4 list of the colony's habitants noted who survived the 1622 Indian attack and where they lived. This list did not include details about the relations among the settlers or their ages.
The 1624/5 Muster is a house-to-house survey that contains information about the location of households in Virginia, the individuals in each household and the ties that connected the colony's early residents to one another. The census-takers also made note of each household's provisions, buildings, boats, arms and ammunition, and livestock. The names of individuals who died during 1624 is part of the muster.
Name “William Parker “ Muster “Susan Bush “ Status “servant” Location “Elzabeth Cittie” Corporation “ Elzabeth Cittie “ Age “20” Ship “Charles” Date of Arrival “1616” Muster Date “7 February 1624/5”.

I found this information about the ship Charles. Hope I can find some more information that at can be traced back to original records.

Elizabeth City County, one of the eight original shires, was created in 1634. It was originally known by the name of Kecoughton. The name was later changed to Elizabeth City County which became extinct in 1952 when it was incorporated into the City of Hampton. The City of Hampton was burned during the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812 and during the Civil War. Some records exist from 1634 to 1861. The records are complete from 1865 to present day.
Elizabeth City (Virginia Company)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth City (or citiie as it was then called) was one of four incorporations established in the Virginia Colony in 1619 by the proprietor, the Virginia Company. The plantations and developments were divided into four "incorporations" or "cities", as they were called. These were Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico City, and James City. The latter included the seat of government for the colony at Jamestown. Each of the four "citiies" (sic) extended across the James River, the main conduit of transportation of the era. In 1634, under Royal authority, a portion became Elizabeth City Shire, later Elizabeth City County.

Nansemond:
Nansemond County, VA was first outposted as a part of the London Company in the early 1600’s, but this early outpost was not continuously occupied until 1621. Dr. Hugh Williamson, M.D., LLD in his The History of North Carolina, pub. By Thomas Dodson, PA, stated, "A small party was detached by order of Captian Smith (1621) from Jamestown to the post that had formerly been taken on the Nansemond River. From that Settlement, emigrants commenced in a short time to the waters of the Albemarle Sound, by way of Blackwater and Bennet’s Creek. Blackwater Creek is the headwaters of the Chowan River and either Blackwater or Bennetts Creek would have been the normal from Nansemond County to Chowan Precinct in North Carolina."

Formed as Upper Norfolk in 1637 from New Norfolk County.
Renamed in 1642.
Records were destroyed in 1866.
Incorporated as the City of Nansemond in 1972. Merged with the City of Suffolk in 1974.
All records transferred to City of Suffolk. Records include: Marriage from 1866, Land from 1734, Probate from 1866, and Court Records from 1774.
County Court Records were destroyed in three separate fires, the earliest of which consumed the house of the court clerk in April 1734 (where the records were kept at that time), and the last on 7 February 1866. A few Fee Books have been found in the records of Sussex County.

The boundary line between Virginia and North Carolina had been in dispute for many years so in 1728 a new survey was run. The border was adjusted to the north about 15 miles moving lands that were part of Nansemond Co., VA into Chowen Co., NC. When they completed the new survey some of the landowner's found that they now had land that was split by the boundary between the two states.
Parts of Chowen Co., NC was later split into Gates Co., NC and Bertie Co., NC Richard Parker III was living in Chowan Co., NC in 1729 but he did not move to NC, In 1728 VA and NC agree to have the diving line between the two states resurveyed as there was a big dispute between the two states as to where the border was located . After the line was run Richard Parker III now lived just over the border in NC and he now has land in both states.

Gates County( NC) was a part of an area originally called "Albemarle", named for George, Duke of Albemarle. Later, what is now Gates County was split into three separate entities: Hertford, Chowan, and Perquimans counties. Most of the land within the present boundaries was considered to be Nansemond County, VA, until 1728, when William Byrd had surveyed the "dividing line" between Virginia and North Carolina.
The area was in controversy between the two States until then, and both granted land to applicants. It was Chowan County, and a narrow strip of Perquimans, until 1759, when all the area west of Bennett's Creek was cut off to Hertford County.

http://gates.lostsoulsgenealogy.com/
Gates was formed in 1779 from Chowan, Hertford, and Perquimans counties. It was named in honor of General Horatio Gates, who commanded American Army at the Battle of Saratoga. It is in the northeastern section of the State and is bounded by Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan and Hertford counties, and the state of Virginia. Gatesville is the county seat.
Gates County was a part of an area originally called "Albemarle", named for George, Duke of Albemarle. Most of the land within the present boundaries was considered to be Nansemond County, VA, until 1728, when William Byrd had surveyed the "dividing line" between Virginia and North Carolina. In 1779 the area between the Chowan River to the West and Southwest, South of the county of Nansemond, Va., West of the Dismal Swamp and North of Catherine Creek and Warwick Creek was separated into a county all it's own. The physical land barriers of swamps or rivers made it difficult for residents of this area to travel to government seats in bad weather, and it was for this reason, among others that Gates County became an entity of it's own. In 1780 a courthouse, prison and stocks were built in Gatesville, at that time known as Gates Court House.

General William P. Roberts, who at age 20 was the Confederate's youngest Brigadier General, was born in Gates County July 11, 1841. He commanded the N.C Cavalry, 12th NC Battalion, Georgia Battalion, Gen W.H.F. Lee's Division, and Hampton's Cavalry Corps Army of Northern Virginia. In 1875 he represented Gates County at the constitutional convention, and the following year he was elected to the state legislature. In 1880, he became a state auditor and served in that capacity until 1888. Roberts died in Norfolk, Virginia, on March 28, 1910, and was buried in the Gatesville Cemetery.

• Name: Richard Parker I

• Sex: M

• Birth: ABT 1625 in Nansemond Co., VA

• Death: BEF 23 APR 1681 in Nansemond Co., VA

• Event: Y-DNA P239 FG#7 Parker DNA Project

• Event: Y-DNA P69,P106,P283,P355,P401 of FG#7

• Note:

Richard Parker of Nansemond Co., Va. is first found in Headright of John Carter 1643, and the same listing withLawrence Peeters in 1647, with variations of spellings ofheadright's names. He is, most likely, in the family ofWilliam and/or Thomas Parker that lived near Dumpling Cr., and Chuckatuck. Tradition has said that he married ElizabethBaily d/o Richard. This is untrue. She was married toPhillip Parker of Accomac Co. Va. Records of Accomac Co., Va.show her husband still alive in 1690s, Ref: ACCOMACK Co. Or.1690-1697, Reel 79,PP.160a-165.
(info Phillips name from R. Fouts).
Compiled 1988 byWaunita Powell407 Elm St. Paris, Ill.

Based on my research (Wayne Nelson Parker) This Richard Parker was not, I repeat not Dr. Richard Parker. Richard Parker of Nansemond Co., VA did not, repeat did not married Elizabeth Bailey. I don't know who his wife was. I have not been able to connection this Richard Parker to the Browsholme Parker family of England or to any other Parker family in England at this time July 2013.
Looking at the land records of early VA. William Parker is the father of Richard Parker 1. I have no other proof at this time except the land records but I have added William Parker as the father of Richard Parker I in my file. Based on land records, deeds and wills (no will has been found but it is referenced to is a deed to his three sons) Richard Parker I had three sons that we know of. Richard II. Thomas and Francis Parker
This is the land records that proof that Wiliiam Parker is the father of Richard Parker I.
Note: You can see the land that William Parker acquired on May 31, 1636 and June 19, 1638 is the same land that his Grandsons Richard II. Thomas and Francis Parker inherit from their father Richard Parker I. See this land at this link.

(From Waunita Powell book)
Addendum
I am including some notes/corrections sent to me by Ray Fouts (female). I believe it may be of great help to all.
First I think you did a great job on your Dr. Richard. I intend to comment on it in my book on the Nansemond clan. I have spent the last six month in the patents, online, and have learned a good bit more than I knew before. Maps are essential tools for me, or I would be clueless as to where anything, or anybody really was.
Your page 29, second para., Lewis Wright is incorrect. It was William Wright.
Same page, last paragraph, there were two Craney Creeks and islands. One was southwest of Suffolk, Va.(Thomas Dew and Richard Parker’s lands) and the other was in what is now Norfolk Co., near Newport News. It seems there were two of most everything up there.
Pg. 32, I strongly do not believe that the William Parker with the 1636 & 1638 patents went to Maryland. I do believe he stayed I Nansemond Co., and was Richard Parker’s father. Elizabeth River Parish is in the same area as the second Craney Creek, in all its spellings. There was an early Edward Parker in that same area, but no known connection to the Parkers in the Upper Parish of Nansemond. That is a peculiarity of name, by the way. The Upper Parish, or Upper Norfolke, Upper New Norfolke was the southern part of Nansemond and the Lower Parish, etc., was in the northern section. Reason: totally unknown, to me. You are ever so right about Thomas Dew not being Thomas Drew. That was a real stretch on some folks’ part.
pg. 33, second Para., “Also in the area of Richard Parker.” there is an error. Bennett’s Creek is right, but Croucher/Crouches Cr. is in Surry Co., per C & P, quite a distance away. Of course, there were two (again) Bennets Crs. One was in the Upper Parish, with Richard, and the head of it is just over the Nansemon/Gates border. The other is in the Lower Parish and empties into the James River. It is an interesting story, but I don’t know how Boddie got it into Surry, if that is what he did. That William lived near Blunt Point, much closer to Newport News and Hampton Roads than Dumplin Island. Could that “Nanseaugertes” have been Nansemond Aug. Term? (Possible- when I had my files transferred from Word Perfect to Microsoft 2000 strange things showed up-Waunita).
Pg. 34 I believe John Bush’s patent to have been just north and west of Ragged Island. Ragged Island is the southern terminus of the James River Bridge. There is some confusion over Dumpling Island here. I realize that the pat. to William said “of Warrisquoick, : but that land does not lie in Isle of Wight and never has. In 1636, people were not that sure of County “boundaries,”so it was probably easy to make that kind of mistake. Dumpling Island is on the Eastern side of the Southern Br. of the Nanse. Riv. Powell’s Cr. is just south of Dump. Is.
Pg34-35 Wm. Hatfield had at least three patents in Nansemond, and probably bought a good bit more land, for which there are no deeds (drat the Brits and the Yanks!) The two for 100 and 200 acres were not near Dumpling Is., but near Craney Cr. (South.)
Page 36 22 Feb. 24, 1675/6… There is marsh all over Nansemond: this land is not on Dumpling Island.
Page 38 Lower Norfolk became Norfolk and Upper Norfolk became Nansemond.
The Western Br. of the Nans. Riv. and Chuckatuck Cr. are different places.
What is the source of the Paul Pender Will? Is that supposed to be Elizabeth, Lee, or Elizabeth Lee?
The Chowan deed from William Williams to Peter Parker is witnessed by John Parker, not Joan.
pg. 39 Top Line: Is that Bryant Oquin?
Pg. 41 Top, #3 That John was Peter’s eldest son.
Pg. 42 There is no documentation for Jean’s maiden name. People have called her Jean Bush Evans. and Jean Early Evans, but nobody seems to be able to prove it. Thomas had an eldest son, Peter, Not in his will, then Thomas, Joseph, Sarah, John William and Frances. All the children in the will were minors. There was no James. That is Hathaway’s goff and he made a lot of them, but he did record some things that are no longer extant. Sarah most probably had an elder sister who married Benjamin Evans. He was son of John and Jane Evans. I have his will.
John Benton’s will reads grandson Jess not James.
Jane Parker deed to James and Francis-not so-deed was to John Parker, from Jane and Francis (Frank). Ray.
I am sure Ray’s work is well done and you should check it out.
Some day you will hear more from her work. Waunita Powell

My GG Grandfather was Elias W. Parker (b. 1828).  I am looking for any direct descendents that are on 23andMe or GedMatch. Thank you!

• Name: Jacob Parker
• Sex: M
• Birth: 1758
• Death: 12 OCT 1796 in Cumberland Co., NC
• Event: Y-DNA Parker Family Group 7 P280
• Census: 1790 Cumberland Co., NC page 101
• Note: The oldest ancestor of P280 is Jacob PARKER born 1753/58, probably in NC, died before 12 Oct 1796 in Cumberland County, NC. He was married to Nancy ATKINS Parker. Nancy was born in 1764 and died before 23 Nov 1796. Jacob and Nancy were the parents of Ica Parker born 1778 in Cumberland County, NC and died in 1855 in Stewart Georgia. Ica was married to Nancy Pope.
  
  
  
  
  Father: P280 Parker

  4.  Margaret Parker b: 1786
  5.  Jonathan Parker b: 1789
  6.  James Parker b: 1791
• Jacob was a "Planter" and a "Cooper" (barrel maker) living on the waters of Cape Fear in Cumberland County, NC.  His first child Ica is named after his wife's father, Ica Atkins.  The name Cader/Kader Parker is carried down in this Parker family.  There are two Kader Parkers found to be living in Cumberland County at the time of Jacob.  One is believed to be the brother of John Parker and it is believed they are married to sisters (Weeks).   This Kader returned to Edgecombe, NC.  It is unknown at this time anything more about the second Kader other than no evidence was found to say he is the father of Jacob.

Charles G. & Mary Parker settled in Maynard, Randolph County Arkansas in 1850, . They came from Tennessee. They are buried in the Samons, Cox, Parker Cemetery at Supply (halfway between Reyno & Maynard Arkansas) alone with his son Charles G. jr & his wife. Also buried there is my grandfather (son of Charles G. jr) Aaron Oren Parker.

You might be in the kitchen doing the dishes and all of a sudden you have the thought "I am a Parker"  lol  I don't feel it yet, but I think it.  I think when I finally find out where I belong, it will start to sink in lol  I am torn on which test I should take.  I know hubby wants me to take the origin one but I want the other one to specify which parker family I am in.  I saw someone post their results of the parker one and my thought was eeeeek.

Parker b. 1752 d. 1835 in Coles County, IL, is my husbands 6th great grandfather.  I am trying to find the connection to the Parkers that left Crawford Co. in 1833 and went to Texas.  I am not having any luck.  I was wondering if anyone has done research on a possible connection and where that might be?  

Also, looking for information on the wife of John Parker b. 3 Dec 1836 in Honey Creek, Crawford, Illinois d. 26 Jan 1909 in Crawford County, Illinois.  His wife was either Martha or Margaret b. abt 1844.  She was 3/4 Cherokee Indian.  Where can I find that information on her?  

Thank you for any help you may have for me ~ Karen

I am GGG Grandaughter to Printis (or Prentiss/Printice/Prentess) Powhatan (or Poulholton/Powhattan/Pouhatten) Collins and Minerva Parker who married in 1870 (in MS?) who had 5 children. Minerva is buried in Richburg Cemetery, Lamar County, MS.  It is thought that Minerva's parents are Jesse S. (Seaborn/Sanders?) Parker (b. 1822/1824 Jasper, MS - d. 1893 Newton, MS) and his wife Jemima (or Jesmina?) Nelson (b. 1829 - d. 1908, Newton, MS) (they married in 1845.

The children of P.P. Collins and Minerva Parker:

1. Ida Parasa (or Parisea) Collins, 1871-1957
2. Lillie Missouri Collins, 1875 - 1953
3. Jessee "Print" Collins, 1857? or 1878-1959
4. James B. Collins, 1881 -
5. Sallie Collins, 1887-1923

Their eldest daughter Ida Parasa Collins married in 1893 to John Thomas "Tom" Ellis (b. 1872 - d. 1946). (I've hit a bit of a stumbling block on him as well) Their 3rd born, a son, Jessie Ellis (m. Cora Stogner), who had 5 daughters. One of whom was my grandmother Sylvia Lee Ellis (m. Horace Shelby Bush).

Minerva Parker (b. 7 Jun 1850, Newton, MS) (d. 25 Feb 1925, Hattiesburg, MS) 

On the 1860 census, I find a Minerva in Itawamba, MS under presumed father William C. Parker (age 42) and maybe an older sister (?) Elizabeth Parker (age 23, too young to be 11 year old Minerva's mother).

Where did she come from? Why can't I find her on a census with Jesse S. Parker? Where in the world did I get the info that she's Jesse's daughter?  Hmmm. 'Tis a puzzle! IS she in fact a sister to Sarah Rachel (who is grt grt grandma to my husband)?

I am also finding P.P. Collins was married to 2 other women in his lifetime but am hesitant to attach anyone else to him at this time.  They are Margaret B. Tisdale (m. 19 Nov 1925) and Sarah Caroline "Carrie" Holder (m. 19 Sep 1928).

Can anyone confirm this against their records?  Does anyone have anything showing Minerva to be a daughter to Jesse and Jemima?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Hello all, glad to be here! My Father-in-Law's Great Uncle (Charlie Parker), was Bonnie Parker's (Bonnie and Clyde) father. My Father-in-Law's mother was Ethel May Parker who married Charlie Parker's Brother. I am trying to find out which brother she was married to. Charlie Parker had two brothers- Sam and John. I'm trying to confirm which Ethel was married to.

This is the only information I currently have as I just started looking up my family history on my fathers side.

My Grandmother was Wanda Faye Taylor. Her parents are Henry Taylor born in 1887 in Texas, Mora Taylor born in 1893 Arkansas. I am having trouble finding the connection from the Taylors to the Parkers. Of course, like most of us on here, we were told we are somehow related to the great Quanah Parker. Just about all my relatives that we know of have past on my fathers side except for my great uncle Kenneth Taylor. I am waiting to hear back from him with whatever information he may have.

Thank you for your time!

From my blog from april 2013 about William Thomas Parker 1858    I came across 1880 census that listed William plus brothers and sisters,

Found some information on David and his family but having trouble finding the other sibling.
