Marian/Marion Parker is my maternal great-grandfather. Not sure of the spelling of his first name and his middle name may or may not be Avery. I've seen him listed on census records and land records with middle initial "A" or "O" and even "E". He was born in Missouri Sept. 15, 1878. Died in Ardmore, Carter, Oklahoma June 22, 1948. Marian's father was born about 1844 in either Missouri or Oklahoma. His name is listed as Joseph P. Parker on the 1910 census with Marian & my great-grandmother and he was widowed.

I suspect that after Marian was born in 1878 that they moved back to Oklahoma because in his obituary it said that Marian had lived in the southern Oklahoma area most all his life. I don't know his mother's name and have not found Joseph in any other census records for Oklahoma or Missouri.

Growing up, as kids we were told that we were descended from Quanah Parker and my mother & her siblings were told the same story of Quanah and his mother Cynthia Ann being kidnapped as a young girl. I have never found any documented proof of this and if we were, the connection would be thru Joseph. However, in the one census record that I found him in 1910 with Marian it lists him as being "White" and not "Native American" or "Indian".

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

My paternal grandmother is Armatha Parker of Johnston Co, NC., (1885-1923). Her father was William Thomas Parker also of Johnston Co, NC (1856-1927) and was married to Emily Jane Holly. William Thomas was the son of Pharaoh Parker (1829-1905) in Johnston Co, NC. Pharaoh's father was Joseph Parker (1778-1863) married to Lucinda Prescott. It is beyond Joseph Parker where a dead-end occurs.

If anyone knows any information related to this family, please contact me through this site or my wife at patsytart@triad.rr.com. 

Since this is my maternal grandmother, I will be doing DNA testing, but unable to perform yDNA which is the most accurate. It would be great if there are any male direct descendants who would be willing and able to submit the yDNA.

Earliest known ancestor, Thomas Parker, 1840-1914. Son, Charles Parker, 1876-1966.

Baby Thomas came from England with his mother, rejected by family in England. Has this story been passed to anyone else?

I am looking for Willard Parker and Harriet (Wheeler) Parker who are listed as the parents of George Willard Parker on his 1894 death record in Michigan.  In the 1880 Michigan census, George reports that his parents are from Vermont.  I keep seeing a Dr. Willard Parker in Vermont, but not with a wife named Harriet.  Has anyone ever run across these folks?

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie and need some help finding more out about my grandfather. My dad was born in 1957 and adopted at around 2-3 years of age and they changed his name. His birth name was James Arnold Parker.

I've attempted to find out more about his father/my grandfather James Willie Parker who was born in Kentucky and the Parker side of the family but have found nothing so far.

Does anyone know of a James Willie Parker who was born in the 1920's or 1930's in Kentucky? He had my father with a woman named Lois Ada Parker (maiden name Arnold?) somewhere in Ohio (possibly Cincinnati).

Please help! :)

Thanks,

Marissa

Hello.  I just joined the group and was hoping that someone may know something about some of my ancestors.   all I know is J B Parker and his wife Aurane came from Georgia and settled in Covington and Coffee Co.    My great grandmother was Martha ( Mattie) Parker b. 1867 d. 1946 who married a William A Foley and they had about 10 children.   A few people have suggested I look to find out if there are Creek or Cherokee in the family because of family stories/rumors.   any info or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.   Linda

Does anyone know who now owns the Parker House? I'd like to get in touch with the owner.  Thanks!

Looking for siblings , parents, .  Starling seems to have appeared out of nowhere.  First mention- Effingham County, Ga. married to Harriet Hannah Schubtrine

. I have tried finding out information on Starling for about 25 years.  He appears with no other Parkers.  He was in Bulloch County, Ga. early 1800's.

In 1850 census it said he was born in SC.  He married Martha Patsy Groover in Thomasville, Ga.  Then later married Mary Melton lived in Madison County, Fl.

Please help me . 

Hello all,

Firstly it is so nice to be a part of this group.

Secondly I am looking for more information regarding the father of James Lee Parker who was born in Abbeville County, South Carolina in 1810.

I have a JPG of a photograph of an 1850 Census that shows James Parker as a Methodist Clergyman.

He Married Martha (Carlisle (or Carlile)) in 1835.

He Died in Leon County, Texas in 1883

I am searching for his father, who I think is also named James who was listed as being born in Ireland and that in the 1810 Census was at or over 45 years old.

Thank you!

My husband's GGGF was Aaron Parker ll - born 1789 in NC. By 1830, he was living in Covington Ms.

I've been trying to find my Grandfathers family on my Dad's side. My father said his name was Edward Everett Parker. On the 1910 and 1920 Census he is listed as Edward Parker in St. Louis, MO. It says his mother and father were born in Missouri. On my Grandmother's death Certificate in 1939 it states she is a widow and her husband's name was Everett Parker. I can't find anything else about him or his parents or siblings. I've been looking for 15+ years and have found absolutely nothing more than this information. I really want to trace my Parker side of the family back. My Grandmother's maiden name was Jennie (Sarah Jane) Horrell and I have been able to trace her back through both sides of her family, I just can't find anything on my Grandfather's side. 

Looking for info on Carroll Parker born 1797 in South Carolina he died 1852 Flatwoods, Benton County, Ten. He married Nancy Ross abt 1825 I have her birth date as 1800 and death date as 1880 also in Benton County, Ten. Have some info on their children Elizabeth "Louisa Eliza" Parker born 1826 in Ten. is the line we come from. She married Carroll Rumley  in 1848 and moved to Arkansas.

I don't have Carroll or Nancy Ross Parkers  parents. Does anyone have any thoughts???

Looking for information about a Pleasant Parker (1785-1833) who was the son of Moses Parker (1744-1830) and Nancy Sands (1746-1802) of Marlboro County, South Carolina.

Pleasant Parker died in Sampson County, North Carolina. I believe he had a son named Pleasant L Parker (1810-1834). Pleasant L Parker has a will probated in 1850 in Sampson County. In it he names two of his sons, John Wesley Parker (1830-1908) and Thomas Clifton Parker (1832-1868).

Thomas Clifton Parker was born in Johnston County, North Carolina, and died in Barbour County, Alabama. He is my 2nd great grandfather.

Any information about either of these Pleasant Parkers would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
