Hello, I am seeking to communicate with descendants/researchers of George Basil PARKER, born: 1858 in Smith or Rankin County, Mississippi, who married Louisa BRATTON, born: Abt. 1858. George Basil PARKER was the brother of my paternal great grandfather, Spencer B. PARKER, born: August 31, 1859 in either Smith or Rankin County, Mississippi, and they were the sons of Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER and his 2nd/3rd wife, Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS. Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER, I believe, 1st married a woman named Sarah "Sally?" BAZAR, (aka BAZOR, BAZER, BAYZER, etc.,) whom I believe was the mother of his 1st set of children whom are shown with him without names in the 1830 and 1840 Copiah County, Mississippi census and then in the 1850 census he is shown with his 2nd set of children for whom I do have names and they were Jacob A. PARKER, Ann(e) PARKER, and Mary/Marian/Miriam PARKER. In the 1850 census in Smith County, MS, Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER is also shown with his 2nd/3rd wife who was the stepmother of the 2nd set of children. Don't know if the 1st wife whom I believe to have been the Sarah BAZAR who married Jeremiah PARKER on December 17 or 18, 1822 in Jefferson County, MS, (later called Pickering,) was the mother of the 1st set of children and then the 2nd set or if there was another wife and mother between Sarah BAZAR and Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS. Then after the death of Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER, Mrs. Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS PARKER is found as the head of the household in the 1870 Rankin County, Mississippi census along with her natural children who were the 3rd set of children for Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER. Their names were George Washington PARKER, Tabitha PARKER, Richard Thomas PARKER, Catherine Eliza "Kate" PARKER, George Basil PARKER, and Spencer B. PARKER. Spencer B. PARKER married Mrs. Rachael Moranda "Randa/Randy" LEWIS COLEMAN? BRIGHT and his brother, Richard Thomas PARKER, married Rachael Moranda's daughter, Harriet Almeada "Mead" BRIGHT, who was Rachael Moranda's daughter from either a 1st or 2nd marriage to J./John? Wesley BRIGHT. George Washington PARKER married Josephine Sophronia DELANEY and Tabitha PARKER married ? HARPER, (lost his 1st name and their descendants info in a computer crash awhile back,) Catherine Eliza "Kate" PARKER married William P. JENNINGS, (nephew of Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS,) and George Basil PARKER married Louisa BRATTON. I am looking for information on George Basil PARKER and Louisa BRATTON's descendants as well as her ancestry and any connecting information to George's father, Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER's ancestry. Not too long ago, after much communication with other PARKER researchers investigating this line, came to the conclusion that is highly probable that the 1st set of children born to Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER, born: Abt. 1795 possibly in Maryland, and his probable 1st wife, Sarah "Sally?" BAZAR, whom are only shown in the census as 1 boy born bet. 1820-1825, 1 girl born bet. 1825-1830, and 3 boys born bet. 1825-1830. Some of us believe that the 1st set of children are: (1.) (Son)/William? PARKER, b: Bet. 1820-1825 in either Jefferson/Pickering County, MS or in Copiah County, MS (2.) James Henry PARKER, b: Abt. 1824 in either Jefferson/Pickering County, MS or in Copiah County, MS, who married: Mary Ann EASTERLING, born: abt. 1830 in MS, (d/o Nancy McDONALD and John Nevil EASTERLING,) and James Henry PARKER and Mary Ann EASTERLING had children: Sophronia Elizabeth PARKER, William Thomas PARKER, Henry Franklin PARKER, and Andrew PARKER (3.) (Daughter)/Martha? PARKER, born: Bet. 1825-1830 in either Jefferson/Pickering County, MS or in Copiah County, MS (4.) (Son)/Nathaniel? PARKER, born: Bet. 1825-1830 in either Jefferson/Pickering County, MS or in Copiah County, MS (5.) Joe A. (Twin) PARKER, born: February 04, 1826 in Copiah County, MS, md: Jane McGOWAN/McGOWEN (6.) Robert Anderson (Twin) PARKER, born: February 04, 1826 in Copiah County, MS, died: January 20, 1906 in Cameron County, Texas, (or is this Cameron, Milam County, Texas,) who married twice...to wife #1: Mary Jane CALCOTE and wife #2: Sarah Elizabeth BULLOCK. With Mary Jane CALCOTE their children were: Mourning/Morren Helen? PARKER, Eliza Jane PARKER, George Lafayette PARKER, Ada Isabel PARKER, Coradel PARKER, Rosa PARKER, Joseph (Twin) PARKER, Robert Anderson (Twin) PARKER, Jr., Aurora Alice PARKER, William PARKER, and Jesse PARKER. And Robert Anderson PARKER, Sr. and wife # 2: Sarah Elizabeth BULLOCK were the parents of: Evie C. PARKER, Andrew PARKER, Jessie Homer PARKER, and Pinckney Boyd PARKER. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to assist me. Thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick-Barnett

Much of it was done painstakingly by hand/snailmail/ etc. There is a wealth of information in it sitting patiently waiting to be consulted. Here is but a little that I transcribed as the copier was down and I don't have a scanner. I copied and pasted it from a letter I wrote to my great aunt 7/07/2004: "There was a great deal of research in the BrattonBig Red Book as it is often referred to in cc of letters exchanged by Bratton’s descendants. Most of the information within it is older, the cc’s of letters on onionskin carbon paper. I have to respect the researcher for painstaking, dogged letter-writing and travel to research the references and records. Apparently, from this research, our first Bratton was an O’Bratten from Northern Ireland. The researcher has it listed as Autrin. I haven’t checked to see if there is an Autrin just yet. (I suspect the writer might be referring to County Antrim, in Northern Ireland.) There is allegedly a record of a John Bratton who settled on Pocomoke Creek, MD circa 1664. I didn’t see any further reference to him that pertained to us so I’ll have to try to follow that up later. This research reflects the line to start at Andrew Bratton, b ca. 1686/1690 in Autrin, Ireland. His children were: Robert Bratton b. 1712 Ireland, married an Ann McFarland Dunlap of VA. He allegedly had a son, James Bratton, b 1746 who wed a Rebecca Hogstead. They migrated to Clark Cnty, Ky. and on to “Walnut Twp, IN” (no county listed). James Brattton b. 1714 in Ireland, married an Elizabeth Graham. He allegedly “went to Kentucky with his children.” I suspect he went as an older man if you look at the birth date. This seems to be who the researcher suspects was responsible for the Mason/Robertson/Bracken line of Brattons. Sammuel Bratton, b. 1716 Ireland. Went to Pennsylvania. William Bratton. b 1718 Ireland. Allegedly mentioned in Draper Manuscripts and possibly killed in French and Indian War. There is a copy of the Draper Manuscripts here in the Batavia, Clermont County Library, so here is another project for me! There is a James B. Bratton on the Bourbon County (KY)Tax Lists for 1792, 1794, 1796, 1797, and 1799. There is also a James B. Bratton living in Clark County, Ky. 6/18/1796 on Peyton’s Lick of the Hinkston Fork of the Licking River. The 1810 Mason County KY Census had a James B. Bratton. The dates they have for our John Bratton that married Nancy Hitt are b. 10/06/1791 d. 4/10/1846. This is my transcription of the marriage bond: "Know by all Men by these Presents That we John Bratton and Aaron Hitt are held firmly unto the Commonwealth of Kentuck in the penal sum of 50 pounds current money, for the payment of which well and truly be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, or administrators jointly and severally firmly by these presents sealed with our seals and dated the 7th day of February 1818. The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas a marriage is intended to be had and solemnized between the said Jno Bratton and Nancy Hitt. Now if there is no legal cause to obstruct the same, then the above obligation to be void, else to remain in full force and virtue." signed "John Bratton" with a circle with what look like his initials and "A.Hitt" with a circle and what appear to be his initials.

Bratton” Quoted from the Altoona Tribune, Dec. 15, 1908. “Harvey A. Bratton, a former leading citizen of Juniata and a veteran of the civil war, died in his country home near Millerstown, Sunday morning at 7:15 a.m. Mr. Bratton had been in gradually failing Health for several years and those near him have for some time realized the impossibility of his recovery. For some time previous to his death his faculties had been impaired and the inevitable end was a “relief” of his suffering. Mr. Bratton was born in September, 1842, and was in his 67th year of life at the time of his death. He was a native of Mifflin County and passed a great portion of his life in that section of the state. Mr. Bratton was one of those who responded to the call for troops to defend the flag in the civil war of 1861- 1865. He ably and honorably served his country in that struggle as a member of the one hundred thirty first regiment, Pa. volunteer infantry.” (Also re-enlisted with the 205th) The deceased was united in marriag! e to Miss Mary Donnally, of Donnally Mills, the good wife still surviving with three of four children. These are Mrs. William Thompson, of 512 Fifth Avenue, and Edward Bratton, of 616 Second Avenue, Juniata, and Logan Bratton, at home. An elder daughter, Annie, passed away from this life about 16 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Bratton and their family became residents of the locality now known as Juniata borough, eighteen years ago, and were predominantly identified with the growth of the community and the development of the borough. Mr. Bratton was a member of the first council of the borough and served well in the capacity of a representative of the people. His interest in public affairs, local, state and national, was unfailing and he was a loyal adherent to the principles of Republicanism. He served as postmaster of Juniata for of almost eight years and was faithful and efficient in administering the duties of the Office. During his residence in Juniata the deceased was an emp! loyee in the Juniata machine shop and was, in the fall of 1907, placed on the Pennsylvania Road retired list on account of his failing health. On October 1st of that year he removed to his former home on his farm, near Millerstown, Perry County, and their past his declining days. There also survived the deceased two brothers and three sisters: North Bratton, of Altoona; Howard and Miss Sarah Bratton, Mrs. Mary Kimberly, of Lewistown, and Mrs. Annie McClintock, of Indiana. Mr. Bratton was of the Presbyterian faith in religion. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, the Grand Army of the Republic and the improved order of Red Men. Funeral services will be held over the earthly remains of Mr. Bratton, at his late home, this afternoon at 1:00 and will be followed by internment in the family burial ground. “
