Hello, I am looking for information on William Parker's parents, siblings and descendents. Anyone out there looking for this William & Margaret Emeline Box Parker? Some of this information came from the mail list and I have added some more. The family story on William Parker was that he served in the Civil War was injured and word was gotten to his wife Margaret Emeline Box Parker that he was too hurt to travel any further and Emeline rode a horse north and crossed the Chattahoochee (somewhere north of Henry Co, AL) and found William and stayed with him till he died. My father in law Rueben Pershing Culpepper told me this story and said his Grandmother Mary Francis Lu Willis Parker who was the dau of Elijah Newton Willis & Charlottie Satcher, and was the wife of Green Reed Parker b.19 Nov 1854 Henry Co., AL., son of William Parker and Margaret Emeline Box, use to tell them this story. Green Reed Parker said he remembered his Mama riding off on a horse to go find their father. I am not sure if William did die in Georgia and she brought his body home or she was able to get him home before he died because he is buried in the Culpepper Cemetery in Henry Co., AL. I sue to have a photo of his marker with his name on it. This information I have left from a computer crash. William Parker b.1830 South Caroline (parents unknown) d. aft 1860 in Ga or Al? married 05 May 1851 to Margaret Emeline Box b, 1836 Georgia (parents Lemmons Box b.1802 Laurens Co., SC married 10 Aug 1824 in Baldwin, Ga Elizabeth Cobb, dau of Daniel Cobb) children of William & Emeline Box Parker 1.
