Hi, my name is Deborah White. My mother was a Parker from Tennessee. I believe all of her family was from Knoxville, but I'm not sure. Her dad's name was Virgil Parker, He died between 1982-84. My mother's mom's name was Myrtle. She passed away of cancer at the age of 58. I'm not sure what year.

The children from this marriage are:

David
Daniel
Marilyn
Norma
Nancy Josephine (my mom) deceased Dec. 25th 2006

I know that Virgil made Violins and I believe had both legs amputated from diabetes.

It was always stated that my mom had Cherokee blood, but that's all I know.

I believe Josephine is a family name, but am not sure. If anyone knows of any link to this family, please let me know.

I am trying to locate P.M. Parker, we believe that P.M. stands for Pleasant Montgomery Parker, he was born in Tennessee via 1880 census records in Leon Co. Texas. at the time of this census he was listed as a widow. We do not know who his wife was, we don't know where he was married, or if his wife died before they moved to Texas from Tennessee. We aren't even sure where he died because he left Texas before the 1890 census. We do know that he had several children all of whom were born in Tennessee. We can't locate any siblings, and aren't sure he even has any. We know he was born in Tennessee or Mississippi(more than likely Tennessee).
His children were J.S. Parker(have no idea what J.S. stands for) born about 1857 in Tennessee
Mary Jane Parker born July 15th 1860 in Tennessee d Nov 10th 1917 Leon Co. Texas(married William Lummus)
Margaret Parker born about 1862 in Tennessee
Sonney or Sammy Parker born about 1866 in Tennessee
Rebeker or Rebecca Parker born about 1867
Pleasant Montgomery Parker born December 1870 Tennessee died March 31 1910 in Pottawatamie Ok.
Thomas Parker born about 1872 in Tennessee
So between the time Thomas was born and 1880 his mother died...have no idea if it was in child birth or during the time they were headed to Texas or before they left.
We also have no idea where the male children of P.M. went except his name sake Pleasant Montgomery Parker who died in OK. Can't locate the rest of them....to little information I guess.

Who are you trying to find? What is the name of the person or persons you are looking for? Do you know where they lived? I see other people have commented, but I'm not sure of who you are looking for.

I'm really stuck in all of this, I can't seem to find anything on our Parkers, I have no idea where they resided in Tennessee. We have the whole family born in Tennessee but trying to actually locate them has become an issue. With the information I have, I don't know what I should check next really, anyone have any ideas other than the YDNA, not an option.

Looking for anything on Thomas Parker & Lucinda Satterfield husband & wife they were in White Co. Tenn in 1830 and had moved to what is today Reynolds Co. Missouri by 1833

I'm really glad that I found this site. I am decended from Parkers in Gibson Co. Tn. and likely Alabama, but haven't gotten that far yet. I have family in Dunklin Co., Mo. also, but reside in Arkansas. There are also Parkers from my line in Michigan that moved there for jobs in the auto industry during the Depression.

(The Lilian mentioned in the previous post is actually Selina.) Do any of you have this family?

A kind helper from another website found my family on the 1850 census in Knox county, Tennessee. In subdivision 15, the family was headed by John Parker, 40, a farmer, and included Selina, 36, - William D, 15, - Thern M, 13, - Martha, 10, - Elan, 8, - James K P, 6, Addeline, 4, and Adela, 2. All born in Tn except for Lilian born in Va. (William H Tillery, future husband to Martha, is same age as Martha lived in the same vicinity. Jonathan and Selina Norman m in Knox county 30 Jan 1833. There are such wonderful people in the world!

Looking for information on a Martha (A?) Parker who married William H. Tillery.
probably: 22 Aug 1860 in Knox County, Tennessee, by C.W. Charlton; Bond By William Simpson.
I am interested in tracing Martha Parker's family. I appreciate any help.
