I am the great granddaughter of Elizabeth Ann "Bettie" Parker. Just curious about family roots.
Hello Parker families, I am interested in finding close relatives. My grandmother was Margaret Elizabeth Young (daughter of Bettie Parker and Andrew Jackson Young), my father was Joe Roy Jackson. After some research I see that I am from the Parker family group #1.
Deneice, DNA can prove or disprove Native American heritage.
Haplogroup Q: The Q lineage is the lineage that links Asia and the Americas. This lineage is found in North and Central Asian populations as well as Native Americans. This lineage is believed to have originated in Central Asia and migrated through the Altai / Baikal region of northern Eurasia into the Americas.
Most Parker's have Haplogroups from the basic English/Nort Western Europe of R1b.
Sorry for the late reply, but I have been offline for awhile. I now have a new computer and e-mail address. Good to hear from you and I am still living here in DeSoto, TX. It will be a difficult task to trace the Parker line beyond Henry Parker . 1780 who died in Pope Co., AR, but with all the information comming in from the DNA project, I think it will be possible. Great pictures, by the way. I'm going to have to add some to my page. Take care, Cousin Bobby
Hello Cousin!
I've just joined and am 'P20' on the Parker DNA Project (group #1).
My GGgrandfather, George W. Parker, was a brother of Betty Ann (you're ancestor). The DNA project appears to show that the "Elder John" Parker line is not our own. Cynthia Ann Parker, Mother of Quanah, was of this line. Henry Parker (Sr), our ancestor, was said to be part Cherokee (this is documented). I was also told we are related to Quanah, but DNA shows that if we are, our link is not with the Parkers as we are from different genetic Parker lines
Hi again Deneice. I am just starting this too. This is my dad's side of the family and he was not real close with any of them, so all of the info I have I have just found online. He only met his grandfather, Jade Wesley Parker one time that he can remember. Jade's father was John Wesley Parker, who was the son of Henry Parker and Nancy Black. My grandfather's name was Hubert Parker.
Thank you, Nancy. I will be in touch. I have not been on World Connect, but I will now. Again, thank you. William Alexander Parker, Wade Franklin Parker, John Wesley Parker all died in Oklahoma according to John Curd's information. Oh, is World Connect also a part of the Rootsweb.com site?
Deneice, have you been on World Connect? Several of Winnifred (Winnie) E. Parker Woolcutt Vail James's descendants have submitted family history there. Winnie left Arkansas about 1887 to "make the land run" in Oklahoma but didn't get in the run for some reason. She is buried in New Hope Cemetery at Spiro, Ok. with a lot of her descendants from her son, Thomas Jefferson Willkett. (name changed when Tom went to Oklahoma) Have you heard of any of Henry Jr's children being in Oklahoma after 1860?
Hi Deneice. So glad you found us! Who were Bettie's parents? How much family information do you have so I won't send you something you already have. Do you have pictures of your oldest folks?

So, your gggrandfather (John Wesley) was a brother of my ggrandmother (Elizabeth Ann "Bettie"). This is really neat.
