No need to apologize to me! Any and all help is welcome, anytime! And, if I have something that helps you, even better!! Same Littleberry Parker. He was in Jefferson County for a period of about twenty years, I believe. While there he held some sort of political office (I don't have my materials here, but I'll e-mail you as soon as I get to them). Joel Walker is a relative, as well, but I'm not sure how. I think he was the son of Isham WAlker, RS, and named his son Littleberry after his brother. Also, in President Jimmy Carter's family tree is a Littleberry Walker Carter. I don't know how that ties in yet, but I find it interesting:>) I have not been able to get past Isham Walker, RS, but I DID find Elizabeth Littleberry in Henrico Co, VA in 1623, I believe. She married first John Worsham, then Francis Eppes. She and Francis had a son named Littleberry. One of his brothers married Anne Isham, daughter of Captain Henry Isham. This leads me to believe they are somehow connected. Either that or it's one heck of a coincidence both names should turn up in the same family. Anyway, if you want to do some further research, they lived at Bermuda Hundred and Shirley Plantation (which is where Littleberry Walker's wife is from). Interesting coindence. That's the earliest record I could find of any Littleberrys. There are more listed, but I feel this is the closest probable link. If you haven't already been there, go to www.my-ged.com and access the index. You'll find lots of stuff on Elizabeth Littleberry and a couple of other Littleberrys. You can also try gencircles.com. I didn't have a whole lot of luck on familysearch.com, but something might've been added. Let me know if I can help you with something else. >From: "Rick Chancey" <rchance3@tampabay.rr.com> >Reply-To: FLSUWANN-L@rootsweb.com >To: FLSUWANN-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [FLSUWANN] Robinson >Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 19:51:50 -0400 > >Hi Marsha, > >I apologize for busting in on your thread but I am amazed at the lineage >you are discussing.
