Tennessee Parkers

I sent the following message to Steven Parker but I thought I'd post for all to see in hopes that it might spark a  memory or bring out a tid bit someone has stored in their research:

My 2nd great grandmother is Lucinda Elizabeth Parker Voss (Zillman). She is the daughter of William (S or T) Parker. Her mother is Matilda but I do not know her maiden name. Lucinda was born in Madison County but moved to Bolivar to open a grocery business with her husband, Zillman, to open a grocery. From records I've found, she and her sister (and possibly other relatives) attended the Clover Creek Baptist Church. I know they also lived in Medon in 1860. But in 1870 (census) she is living in Bolivar with her husband, Zillman, sons Joseph Edwin and William Dossie Voss and a Wm. H Parker who is a clerk in their store. I have yet to figure out his relation to her as it might be a transcription error.

Living next door (or close) is her brother Henry Milton Parker with his wife, Lucretia and their children, Willie Lee (female), Annie and step-son Cicero Beaty. Next to them is Henry and Lucinda's mother, Matilda, and their other siblings Phoebe and Fanny Parker.

In 1880, Lucinda, Zillman and sons have moved back to Jackson. I cannot find her mother in the 1880 census so she either died in Hardeman or Madison county. I have searched for a death record but to no avail. Her brother Henry Milton moved on to Fayette County TN.

I can find no record of her sisters after 1870 either. If I go back to the 1850 census, Lucinda is living with her family - father William, mother Matilda, and siblings Henry, Phoebe, Susan, Caroline and their grandmother, Polly Parker. I know Medon is in Madison County but very close to the Hardeman county line.

The father, William, was born abt 1801 in SC. I believe his father to be John Parker b. 1775 in NC and his mother to be Mary "Polly" Howard Parker b. 1775 in NC, also.

If any of this rings a bell or you have encountered these people in your research, please let  me know.

Thanks so much!!

To. Marcella,   Just a note there is a connection between my PArker/Raborn family and the Tidewell/Terrell family in Franklin County GA pre 1805.

To Jordon,   check out Elder John group here, there is y-DNA testing that suggestion Elder John Parker could not be the son of Nathaniel Parker of Sumter TN

I have been able to ID my Aaron Parker in Franklin County GA by 1805.  Also there during this time was Robert Parker, Moses Parker and John Parker.  (John Parker is thought to be Elder John Parker born ~1758 in Baltimore MD).  Is the Franklin County GA Robert Parker the same one that shows up in Louisiana?

My Aaron Parker (died 1833 in Mississippi), he married Tabitha Raborn (1772GA-1856MS). They were in Mississippi by 1814.  My Aaron Parker has y-DNA and is the same family as Elder John Parker.

I've added my name to the Cherokee Parkers in hopes that my story might come across someone's desk in that group that fits in with the rest of my information.  If you find anything inregard to Charles Marsh and his wife Catharine (might be Cherokee), please feel free to send it my way....  much appreciated!

Marcella, I am looking for a list of Daniel Parker's children. If Im correct in my tree... Elder John Parkers father is Nathaniel Parker.b.1730 d.1803, who was born in Hampshire Va. Nathaniel was married to Mary Ramsey Blesko in 1791 in Sumner Tennessee. I believe my line also leads to Daniel who is Elder Johns brother. Sons of Nathaniel. I know for sure my line is Donald(f) Earnest(gf), Freddie Lee (ggf), Augustus(gggf), Joseph A. (ggggf), Then Im confused... I think Josephs father is Moses son of Daniel.... but I still have to have hard proof before I will say for sure. But any help is very welcomed... Thanks!!

Also, I've seen some Parker relatives in the Old 96 District of SC...it seems some of those Parkers had a connection to both TN. and GA.

I am seeking information on Jesse or Jessee Parker, b. 1815 TN, married Elizabeth Gregory( b. 1827 d. 1870) in 1841 Hardeman, TN.  They had 6 children: Martha J b.1844, John b. 1849, Thomas b. 1852, Sarah b. 1861, William Riley (my great grandfather) b. 1862 d. 1924 and Fannie b. 1865.  I am especially interested in where Jesse was born and who his parents were.  William Riley last lived on Island 8, Hickman County, KY which is were my mother lived until approximately 3 o4 years old.  I am especially interest in information on who Jesse Parker's parents were.  Records indicate that Jesse"s parents were both born in Tennessee.

 

In 1850 Jesse and Elizabeth lived in Hardeman, TN where he was a Miller.  In 1860 he was in Hardin County and 1870 in Chester County.

Mary Ann Parker (1805-1892) m Phillip Marsh (1801-1869), and her sister Elizabeth Parker (1808-1850) m Phillip's brother William Marsh (1803-1880) in Macon Co, TN. We orig. thought these Parkers were our Cherokee connection the family had always been told about, cause we could never find records for the 2 women. Phillip and Mary are my ggg-grandparents; their son William, my gg-grandfather; his son Wm. Shepard, my g-grandfather; his son Daniel Booker, my grandfather; his son Walter Wilson, my dad; and then me and my 5 siblings. Daniel's brothers found delight in angering him by saying there was an Indian in the woodpile somewhere. If these two sisters are not the Native American connection, then it would have to fall back a generation to the two brother's parents, Charles & Catherine Marsh. In online records I could never find info for Mary and Elizabeth. I joined this forum yesterday a.m., then in the evening I found an Abraham Parker right in Macon Co. Abraham Parker had daughters, two of which were Mary and Elizabeth. I have no documentation to prove this assertion, but if they are his children, then that probably isn't the Indian connection. Abram Parker (1776-1850) was married to Phoebe Nichols (1776-1853), both born in Halifax, VA. They would be my gggg-grandparents, and I have found no info as to what happened to them. Abram, as he was called, and an Archer Parker were listed as witnesses on a will for a William Parker. I don't know the relationships here, but Wm. listed his children as William Parker, Richard Parker, Edward Parker, Joseph Parker and Luce West. Can't find anything else yet on Abram. Back to Chas. (1764-1859) and Catherine (1780-1858) Marsh... she is an enigma... have absolutely nothing more than her birth and death from her grave marker in Macon Co. She may have been born in NC where they came from. I think she may have been Cherokee, because Charles was all but disinherited in his father's will. He was given a few shillings, far less than all his other brothers. Charles' dad was Robt. Marsh (1724-1809), who being raised a Quaker, and living in a highly settled area of Baptists and former Quakers, probably didn't approve of Charles' choice of spouse. There is no record of Charles and family in the Chatham Co, NC area after Robert's death. His older sons, including Phillip, were born in NC, and the younger sons were born in TN. I know I've written a short novel here, but all the parts together are what finish this puzzle, and knock a few bricks out of the wall. Any info on these Parkers or confirmation of my assumptions would be greatly appreciated.
