Comment by Drenna Workman on September 27, 2009 at 2:49pm: comment by. Drenna Workman I am looking for parker family that are from clark co ky me and my husband are working on a family tree and thay are on my side of the family any info would be nice.

Comment by Wesley Sherrod Hart on September 4, 2009 at 10:59am: Darline, Winney is my direct ancestor but I do have other Parkers in Knox County Kentucky, a distant cousin was Gordon Parker, born about 1813 in Kentucky, married to Lucinda Terrell, November 20, 1833 in Knox County.
Their children were Raleigh Parker, born about 1835 married 1855 to Rebecca Wilson, Eason Parker born about 1837 married 1857 to Mary Mckeehan, Senia Parker born about 1839, married 1856 to James Pleas McKeehan, Benjamin Franklin Parker born about 1841, Irene Parker born about 1843, died at age 10, Alexander Parker born about 1853 married 1865 to Martha Warfield, Mary Parker born 1845 married 1865 to Hiram Logan and Richard Parker born 1847 married 1866 to Nancy Elizabeth Warfield.
Maybe there is no connection between Gordon Parker's family and Winney Parker Browning but they were neighbors in Knox County Kentucky and most likely related.
I can provide more for Gordon's family if anyone needs it.

Comment by Darlene Carter on September 4, 2009 at 10:25am: Wes, I am afraid those names are unfamiliar to me. I know what it is like to hunt down elusive ancestors. Good luck to you!!

Comment by Wesley Sherrod Hart on September 3, 2009 at 10:16pm: I am looking for anyone related to Winney Parker born about 1818 in NC and married August 27, 1837 to William M Browning in Harlan County Kentucky. Winney's siblings include Reason Parker born about 1820 and lived in Yellow Creek, Bell County Kentucky with his sister Oma that was born about 1826. A 4th known sibling was Henry Parker born perhaps as late as 1844, married to an Elizabeth and had a son named Gilles Parker.
Thanks Wes Hart

Going to do some research on the Jones family and then try to find John's grave. If anyone has information that might help, please let me know. I do have the GPS coordinates. Thanks!!

Comment by S.Raymond Parker on February 28, 2009 at 10:05pm: DNA testing is great, Ron. I have found much information through mine. I don't recall such a person, but will look through my files. Do you have a name? I will send you the web addies for that war.

Comment by ron parker on February 28, 2009 at 9:51pm: Hello again Raymond. In your research have you ever came across a Parker that was a confederae officer during the civil war. He is buried somewhere in Lafollette. I do no recall his name. I dont have alot of family tree history, my father and uncles are dead. My surviving cousins are spead out across America have have no interest in their roots. (I'm still considering the DNA testing)...thanks

Comment by S.Raymond Parker on February 28, 2009 at 9:19pm: My ancestor was John Parker who is buried in Whitley County, just above Williamsburg. I have a list of people posted in Parker Family 22 group.
