"Jevette, Our male Graydon's carry the Parker Y DNA & not Graydon. My oldest male line was Matthew Graden, born 1775-1780, most likely in Laurens Co., SC. It's possible he could have been born in NC. I believe he was the one fathered by…"

"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"

"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…"

"Melissa, I saw you had stated that your earliest Parker may have been Calvin Parker, born in SC around 1797. Do you know what area he was in? My earliest Parker grew up in Laurens County SC, but not sure if he was born there. He was born around…"

"Thanks, when I'm back to working on this, I will check for any Arnold connections that may have moved to Louisiana. My Matthew Graydon (maybe Parker) died in Laurens Co, SC, 1850. He and his wife both died of typhoid fever. Elizabeth"

"Hi and thanks for the info! Do you where they were born, lived and died? My oldest ancestor, Matthew Graydon (Parker?) died in Laurens Co. SC. We are not quite sure if he was born there, but most likely he was. Elizabeth"

"ok thanks! I may see if I can find that book or get it on loan. Now that I see the name Arnold, we had Arnold's living close by us too. Do you have any idea if that is a surname carried down? Matthew is also the first name of my ancestor that…"

"Hi Jim, There are some land records in Laurens Co SC between Cowan's & Graydon's (Graydon suspected to be a Parker) in the late 1700's. I believe I had seen your information about Sarah Wiley or Cowan being Jesse's first…"

"It seems it would be easier to tie all of us together. I guess there were just so many Parkers!!"

"My brother is P316 & our 2nd cousin isP317. It looks like we are off by 1 to your Dad?"

"Hi, I have seen you are in Family Group 7 as I am, through my brother's Y DNA test. Only problem is, our last name is Graydon. We are trying to figure out who was born a Parker and raised as a Graydon. We think it may have happened around 1780…"

"Thanks - I need to do more research here in SC! Elizabeth"

"Hi, I am interested in finding out about the people you mention. Do you have anymore information (birth dates/where they died) on them, especially Matthew? Could they possibly be related to Daniel Parker? Link to his will:…"
