The best candidate for her father seems to be Peter MASON below, but I'm just guessing based on proximity of MASONS to PARKERS on the 1830 and 1840 Conecuh Co. censuses. Peter MASON is on the same census page with John and Benjamin MASON in 1830, and is the right age to be their father. ----------------------------- RACHEL FRANCES1 MASON was born 1812 in Georgia1,2, and died 1885 probably in Butler Co. Ala.3. She married SAMUEL PARKER, JR., abt. 1832 in probably Conecuh Co. Alabama, son of SAMUEL PARKER, Sr., and MARY PARKER. SAMUEL PARKER, JR., was born February 01, 1807, in Georgia4,5, and died March 13, 1890, in Butler Co. Ala.5,6. -------------------------------- from www.trackingyourroots.com Fairmount Cemetery, Red Level, Covington Co., Alabama Rachel Francis MASON wife of Samuel PARKER 1812-1885 born in GA.
