I need to make a correction to a lineage chart.

John Denby Parker, born 1895 in Delaware, Logan Co AR Died Dec 1977 in Logan Co AR was married to Nannie May Garrison.  His parents were Jesse J Parker born 1861 in AR and Nancy C. Garrison born 1871 AR.  Jesse J is also known as James Jefferson as well as just J.J. in some records.

Jesse and Nancy had at least 4 children, as well as possibly 2 infant daughters who died very young. John Denby, Horace Dudley, Louis Henry and Anna G.  After Nancy died, Jesse married Josie(Jocie) Capps who had a son Willas Capps by a previous marriage. I don't know if the two of them had any children of their marriage. Then Josie died and Jesse went on to marry Tennesse B. Horn in 1913. If you might have any information about this family I would appreciate hearing from you. I do have a possible parents for Jesse as Meridith W. Parker and Jemima "Gimmia" Jones but I am not 100% positive of that connection.

  • "My mom's father, William Jefferson Parker was known by his mother as Jeffie, but he was known as Jeff Parker as an adult."
  • "William Jefferson Parker (JEFF PARKER) parents were Augustus (GUS) Mae Parker & Mary (MOLLIE) Emma Windham."
  • "The parents of Augustus (GUS) Mae Parker was James (JIM) Andre Parker & Samantha."

We are looking for my wife's great-grandfather father of Peter Parker. Peter  Parker was born in Tennessee abt 1818 and was first located in St Francis County, Arkansas on the 1850 census married to Eliza Jane ?. His oldest child (Nancy A Parker ) was born in 1844. He later (1868) married Elizabeth Nobles Bradford and had a son James Monroe Parker, my wife's grandfather. Any help would be appreciated.

My GGF, James Calvin Parker (and his father) both moved to Crawford Co, AR from Whitley Co, KY by 1888 and 1890, respectively, as shown by land patents. My father and Grandfather were both born in Crawford Co and moved to Texas around 1930. These folks are pretty well documented. I'm looking for NC/VA Parkers in the mid 1700's.
Comment by Douglas L Parker on July 9, 2011 at 1:39pm
My GGF was James Monroe Parker, born Carroll County Arkansas 1869, died in California  1937.  My Grandfather Ivan died young, and my Dad Dwaine although born in James Monroes home in Arkansas was estranged due to the re-marriage of his mother. Have gotten copies of the family bible that date the line back to 1754 NC an Kentucky in 1780s.

John Denby Parker and wife Nannie May Garrison of Arkansas.

Since my first post on 2/12/2011 I have learned that Sebern born abt 1915 is actual a Male and his first name is Robert and there is another sister, Alyne Virginia, who was born in 1927. I still do not have a birth date for J.D. or a full name for him. Any help will be appreciated.

Does anyone know this family and if J.D. is still living?
