John PARKER married Margaret Catherine WRIGHT, dau of Thomas WRIGHT and Frances Angeline BYRD, Nov 9 1890 in Stone Co MO. A letter dated Mar 27, 1891 to my grandmother in Johnson Co TX from John PARKER was from Longs Mill, Stone County MO. John PARKER was listed in Grant Township (1900 census). Elviren was listed as mother along with wife Margarett, and children Flora, Cora, and Lenard H. 1880 census lists Erosina PARKER (widow) Thomas J. (son), Mary (daughter), and John (son) in the Pierce Township (south of Grant Township). 1870 census lists Everena with Jefferson (remember 1880 he was listed Thomas J. maybe his middle name was Jefferson), and Mary E., and John. This was located in the Washington Township (south of Galena). In the 1910 census John was listed with wife Margarett, Flora, Cora, Leonerd, Earl, Elva, and Henry, again in the Washington Township. Everina/Erosina/Elviren must have died by then (she was 61 in the 1900 census). I am looking for any information on this family. I believe John's mother was a sister to James Madison SEALS, my ggf.
