Joseph Parker was born in Canada in 1828, came to Essex County about 1849, married Sophie Champagne in Lewis in 1851, had 8 children, most born in Schroon Lake/North Hudson area but maybe Crown Point, also. I am looking for clues to Joseph's parentage. Any descendants of any of those children out there? The children were Joseph, Henry, Francis, Charles, Julia, Adolphus (died young), Frederick, Sarah & Elizabeth. Sarah married Edward Rivure. Julia married Paul Dezalia. Joseph married Carrie Fitch. Charles married Rose Plouffe. Frederick married Libby Lattrell. Elizabeth married a Ducharme. I've been searching for clues to Joseph's birth (where in Canada) & parents (who were they?)for over 20 years & am just stumped!
