Who Was the Immigrant/s for Parker Family Group #1 on Dennis West's website?

I have been searching for the immigrant or immigrants for Parker family group #1. We now have 14 matches, with one over in Kirby Hill (or Kirby on the Moor), North Yorkshire, England. I have thought it might be from Browsholme Hall Parkers. In our traditional info, the "Macclesfield" Parkers are given as the immigrants. Using new info, I have disproven that Thomas Parker, considered the immigrant for the "Macclesfield " Parkers was NOT the father for the second Thomas Parker, considered to be… Continue

Please Post Your Parker Migration Routes!

I am interested in having a way to compare our Parker migration routes. We might find our Parkers cross paths, making it more likely we could be related. You also need to consider the changing county borders, ect. This is how mine goes:

Amos Parker (Wife, Mary Farlee), is first found in Chowan Co., NC, to Perquimans Co., NC, to Northampton Co., NC. Died in there in 1800.

My GG Grandfather, A H, A Hulsey, Aubrey Hulsey Parker was one of their kids .

I have been researching this name through time and geographical and virtual space in it's many variations. I really think this could be a great clue to solving our ancestral… Continue

In the Rabbit Hole

Our oldest Parker ancestor, my GGG Grandfather, is usually known as Joseph Joshua, supposedly born in Kentucky in 1798, died in Bell County, Texas, in 1873. However, sometimes he is listed as Joshua Joseph. There is a reference, too, every once and awhile as his name being Josia.

By several accounts, one being made and documented by a now deceased Uncle that I knew and loved, JJ Parker's birth is documented in an ancient Parker Bible that is locked up in Baylor University; I have a cousin… Continue
