Parker Family #7

Comment

Comment by Steven H Parker on December 11, 2012 at 8:44pm

I have a working theory that ties my line back to William Parker b 1604. Since, Wayne (in FG#7) ties back to William Parker, it makes sense that FG#7 Parkers would tie back to William Parker. In my case, William is the 12th generation. Also, there are two (and probably three) yDNA people that are one marker different and two that are two markers different in 67 markers. These individual families would be 99%-96% descended from William Parker in the 12th generation. My working theory is:

1-3) Me to my grandfather 4) Rev John Alexander Parker b 1868 Middleton, TN died Hot Springs, AR 1932 5) Franklin Parker (1820-1895) (Pitt County, NC to Umpire AR) 6) Isaac Parker (1795-1835) Craven County, AR to Pitt County, NC 7) Alexander Parker (1765-1825) Craven County, NC to Pitt County, NC 8) John Parker, Jr (1730-95) Craven County, NC 9) John Parker, Sr (1700-37) Chowan Co, NC to Craven Co, NC 10) Thomas Parker, Jr VA to Chowan Co, NC 11) Thomas Parker, SR (VA to Chowan Co, NC 12) William Parker (b 1604) England to VA. The missing link is 8) John Parker, Jr. which I cannot tie to Alexander Parker (yet). I have been pursing the Parker family since 1981. I have to thank my cousin Ken Parker who connected with many Parker and Parker related relatives who have been long gone and the Parker yDNA project. Studying families is learning history, science and a little logic too.....

Those Parker that came to Perry, Jackson and Hancock County  in Mississippi by 1820 included Hardy, Jacob, William, Aaron and Lewis (thought to family 21 by Parker Heritage, based on 1 DNA sample).   These are often confused with Lewis and Aaron Parker who were in Copiah County MS by 1830.     Copiah County, Aaron Parker is family #5, this is one of the last records of my Aaron as he died in 1833.   Aaron is over the 50, but is listed in 1829 tax list (perhaps paying poll for sons) next to his brother in law Burwell Raborn.   My Aaron is also listed in the settlement of James Nelson estate.   James Nelson was married to Elizabeth Parker, daughter of Aaron Parker and Tabitha Raborn.  I believe that some of family 7 is also found in the 1830 census for Hind/Copiah County MS.   These families traveled up and down the Pearl River like we travel the interstate today.

Kelly,

I see now you were talking about group 5. It's good to know there were other groups in the same areas. There's so many of them... I hope we get it figured out one day.

Elizabeth, I really hate posting family #5 under #7 forum, they are too often confused.   My Aaron Parker is family #5.   Family 5 and 7 were in the same location in Mississippi pre 1816 .   By 1820 my Parker are then living near Parker Family #28,  such a mess.  At least they never married each other... although they did marry to the same families.  Write me at kellyparks99@yahoo.com, I have tax list for Franklin County GA.  I think I posted them on one of the group #5 forums at Parker Heritage, they probably are at Parker - genforum site too.

Kelly,

What timeframe were your Aaron Parker & the Robert Parker you mentioned, in Franklin Co., GA? My Parker's were around the Laurens & Greenville Co., border, close by in SC in the late 1700's. There was a Robert Parker there in 1790, but doesn't appear in later census records.

Kelly, I found this today about the Natchez Trace.

Greene County was named for General Nathaniel Greene, a Rhode Island hero of the American Revolution, who led our troops at Guilford and Eutaw Springs and retook Charleston. Greene county was formed on 13 December 1819 from parts of Marengo (formed 1818) and Tuscaloosa (formed 1818) counties and from Indian land from the Choctaw Cession of 1816. Many men who came down the Natchez Trace with Andrew Jackson for the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815 went back through central Alabama looking for land. Since settlers may have arrived there as early as 1812, records of the parent counties could have some information on these first families.
