It is 1850 census for Houston County,Texas. John R. Parker and Mary Polly . Page 186 or 381. The 381 is hand written or imagine 40 depending on which census imagines you use.It has him as being born in Virginia and her being born in Georgia. I recently made contact with the Parker's in Haywood County,Tn that are from my hushand's line. Not to be confusing I will call my husband Ewell instead of Parker. Ewell has a cousin there that recently found articles in a box that has many Parker names and pictures she doesn't recognize.. An old notebook with births that sort of stuff.One set of notes says , J.R and Mary moved to Texas with baby Henry. I was thinking J R could possibly be John R. Then when I was going back over old notes I made a couple years ago , I had made contact with a lady named Rhonda and she said that Reuben's daughter Mary Polly was born in Fredricksburg,Viginia 5/13/1779 right before Reuben joined the War, she had this Mary marrying David Jackson Jr. on 2/5/1795 in Culpepper,Virginia. I will hunt for that orginal e mail because this was before I knew about the list. She has Reuben being born 2/9/1755 in Virginia. I am not actively doing anything with genealogy but if I find that e mail I will post it Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: <CHenry8604@aol.com> To: <BARRETT-REUBEN-SC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [Barrett-Reuben-SC] Mary Polly Barrett > The daughter of David Barrett was born in Greenville SC, if her birthplace > was wrong then maybe James is wrong also.
