Ar Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Cleveland?read=36 Surname: Parker, Harrelson ------------------------- I have some info to add on your Parker's. My gg-grandfather was John Haywood Parker which was born around the same time as your John Hamilton Parker. They always got their mail mixed up so my grandmother tells me. I am trying to connect the two but have not been able to. I do know that William H. & Harriet Parker are buried in Shady Grove Cemetery near New Edinburg, AR the same cemetery my Parker's are buried. I live in Parnell Springs Community on the Bradley and Cleveland Co.line just 2 or 3 miles from Shady Grove Cemetery. I was told by two of John Hamilton's daughter's that he always said he was the only boy just like his father William H. Parker. I haven't looked at my papers in a while but I thought I had found on the 1850 census for Bradley Co. a William and one or two sisters in the household of a John & Elizabeth Parker. This John born in Kentucky and the William born in Mississippi.My John Haywood Parker's father was James Washington Parker and on census' he is down as being born in MS and his father KY. So I think there is a connection.It is just proving it. I work with the granddaughter of John Hamilton Parker and she said she would love to get the information on your side of the family. Let me here from you. Thanks.
