In another post, I was looking for information on Jefferson Davis Parker...but I'm not turning my attention to who I believe was his father...a Phillip Washington Parker, who was supposedly born in TN in the early 1800's.  JD Parker's wife Artiliss Martha Lanier Parker stated that JD's father was Phillip, who came from TN.  He settled with his wife in Lawrence County, Arkansas near Black Rock.  Phillip trained soldiers in Hoxie, AR for the Civil War...and Phillip was killed in the war and didn't get to see the birth of his child Jefferson Davis Parker...my great grandfather.

Artiliss mentioned that JD had a brother named Phillip and a brother named Isaac, along with a sister named Mary.

If anyone has any information on Phillip Washington Parker from TN who is supposed to be Jefferson Davis Parker's father, that would help.

Btw...we've pretty much proven that this Jefferson Davis Parker, who is the father of George Truman Parker, is NOT the Jefferson Davis Parker who is the son of John M. Parker and Clara Fortune Barton Parker.

Thank you.

I've been doing a lot of searching on Ancestry.com...and while growing my "family tree"...I noticed that my grandfather's (George Truman Parker 1906-1984) father is listed as Jefferson Davis Parker (1863-1940)...with his father listed as John M. Parker (1823-1894) and mother as Clara Fortune Barton Parker (1823-1894).  Jefferson Davis Parker was married to my great grandmother Artiliss Martha Lanier Parker (1878-1946). Nearly every bit of info I can find on Ancestry.com give basically the same information.

However...my grandmother (Nellie Saulmon Parker 1920-2012) told my mother that before Artiliss Parker died in 1946, Artiliss told my grandmother that Jefferson Davis's father was a man named Phillip Washington Parker who was born in Tennessee but came to Arkansas before the Civil War.  He and his family lived in Lawrence County, Arkansas near the Black Rock community and Phillip W. was training with his regiment in Hoxie, Arkansas before heading off to fight in the civil war.  He left behind his pregnant wife to go to battle, but did not return.  His wife gave birth to Jefferson Davis Parker after Phillip's death.  Jefferson Davis Parker's birth date has been listed by family members as July 3, 1861 or 1863.  Artiliss also told my grandmother that Jefferson Davis Parker had a brother named Isaac and one named Phillip.  He also had a sister named Mary.

Since these two different paths are different...yet both have Jefferson Davis Parker marrying Artiliss and giving  birth to the correct children and being buried in Glazier Peau Cemetery in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas...which is all correct...I'm trying to figure out who JD's parents really are.  Also...is the Jefferson Davis Parker that is buried in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas the one listed on Ancestry.com as being born in Hempstead County, Arkansas...or is he the one that his wife Artiliss says was born and raised in Lawrence County, Arkansas?  Can anyone help?

Nicholas Parker born 1700 in Makefield, Bucks Co. PA.  He was married to Martha (Janney) Parker.  Died before 1765.  His children were Joseph, Mary, and Rebecca.  There may have been more.  I have been checking his children to see if my Nicholas Parker could have been one of his grandchildren.  Because if he was born in 1700 he could have had children around the 1720's and 30's then his children could have had children around the 1740's and 50's. My Nicholas was born in 1755.  In the records I have seen where they mention that there may have been other children.  Just looking for a lead.  If you can help please let me know.

I am looking for info on Sarah/ "Sally" Parker who was married to John J. Herlihy in 1879 in Jackson County, MS.  She was born in 1861 in Alabama or Mississippi and died in St. Petersburg, FL in 1931.  On her death certificate it says JB Parker and Ann Beach as her parents both born in Alabama.

Any help would be appreciated.  This is my GG Grandmother on my grandmother's side who is 99 and we are trying to find answers for her.  Thanks!

I am searching for any history regarding my Father Samuel Lewis Parker, last know to live around Fairchance, PA about 1951.  He was married to Viola B Burnsworth and had three children prior to their separating.  I believe he passed away in late 1960s but not sure.  Also I believe he moved to the Western states after he and my mother separated; he also took the two boys with him.

Samuel Lewis Parker Jr DOB:  11/24/1951 and Kenneth Eugene Parker DOB:  8/2/1953 as well as myself Judith Rae Parker DOB:  9/18/1957.  I have never met my brothers and would be interested in meeting them.

Samuel listed as his parents on his marriage license:  Harry Parker and Sarah Brooks.

I would appreciate any help in researching this lineage...thank you for help.

Hi

I'm trying to trace relatives of Charles Parker born 16 August 1836 (possibly 1834 or 1838) in Gotenburg Sweden.

His father was a British sea captain and his mother was Swedish.  He had a brother possibly younger and they were about two years apart. Not long after the second son was born their mother died.  The father soon re-married but the second wife had no time for the boys so at a very young age they ran away to sea together.

Charles' brother left the ship in America and he never heard from him again.  This was probably early 1850's as he had talked about the ship being in New York when Jenny Lind was singing there and she toured from 1850 - 1852 arriving and leaving from New York.

Charles eventually jumped ship in Wellington New Zealand in 1856 where he married in 1960 and had 10 children

If there are any Parkers out there who have an ancestor with a similar story it would be wonderful to find our American cousins

Hi!

I'm just trying to find the links between a couple surnames

My Mothers maiden name is Parker. She has a brother Peter Parker (D)  I never knew her Fathers / my Grandfathers' name.

Her mother / my Grandmother  is Pearl Parker  but this is where it gets cloudy. Somewhere her last name was Worley.

My uncle / Mothers Brother, Peter Parker had several children, Charles, Wayne?  I never got to meet all and Peter died quite a while ago.

I've been told that our Parker lineage is connected somehow to Quanah Parker but, obviously, there where many other Parkers around and present day Parkers only lean towards Quanah as an ancestor!....I've been told my G-Great Grand' was a son of 1 of Quanahs 8 wives....?

But, its' the Scott side that was always referred to. As in "we are originally from the Scott family line" ...?

My "Cousins / Aunts - Uncles / mystery relatives" are - Scott, Names are foggy but, I know there's an Edna, Bruce, James, possibly a Charles.

All of these Parkers and Scotts live / lived in Florida. Mainly SW Florida but, also in / around Marco Island.

My "Cousins" live in Ft. Meyers FL. and are much in politics I believe.

Having a home next door to the Edison winter home and the Ford home. We lost touch when I was very young.

Any bells rung or clues to this connection are greatly appreciated!!

Hello,

I've found a bit more information regarding my Grandmother's Family.  The Parents of Ruby May Parker were Jesse Samual Parker Born about 1883 in Tennessee and And Sarah Satafield Born about 1884.  Records indicate that Ruby may have been named Bula or Buba Parker or this may just be incorrect interpretations from hand written records.   

Siblings of Ruby are listed on Census Records as:

John G - 1918

Robert C   - 1921

Mary Louise - 1922

Leon - 1910

Ernest Sam - 1907

Grandma Ruby always told me we were Cherokee and that Quanah Parker was my 6th Great Grandfather.  I thought this strange as Quanah was Comanche but I see that, by reading a few posts on here, that being Cherokee and being related to Quanah Parker may be possible.  I'm so confused in my search as records are few and far between, including a lack of birth records for all 6 of Ruby's children supposedly all in Columbia, Maury County, Tn.  Julia G (Grant) Prentice passed away just this last August 4th. of this year.

Any info you might have to pass on would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Gary Parker- P441.  I see on the YDNA Results that your test identifies your Ancestor as Richard Parker, abt 1785 VA.  My 67 places me a Genetic Distance of 2 from Richard.  I am hoping that you might have identified a brother of Richard since my test revealed a probable 2nd cousin.  Any help would surely be appreciated.  Thank you.
