Sarah Howard b 1857 d 1922, married Thomas J Parker b unknown died abt 1913, she was from the Shelby county area. Their daughter Mary Annie Parker b abt 1878 married James Thomas Glass 1895 in the Irondale area. I am seeking the family information of Thomas Parker, might of been first family assigned the early witness protection. I have been unable to find them for sure in the census believe they lived in shelby area earlier. On grandfathers application for delayed certificate of Birth he states his mother was born in Irondale. She was born about 1878 Thomas is said to be the brother of James Parker married Sarah's Sister Emma Howard, some one has to know something about the Parkers, Martin Parker was a friend of Andrew Jackson Glass. he vouched for him on his application for Civil war Pension. Andrew Jackson Glass is the father of James Thomas Glass. Please some one knows something.........George W. Parker had a farm near a glass family. Some how I feel Thomas Parker is related to one of these families. Andrew Jackson Glass lived in the Grants Mill area of Ala. (B'Ham) James Thomas Glass lived in the Moody Ala. area.
