My brick wall is Wilson Parker (1776 - 1839) born in Monmouth Co., NJ and his wife, Rhoda Thorpe (1784 - 1864) born in New Jersey, the daughter of Isaac Thorpe. Four of their ten children were born in Monmouth Co. NJ also. ( Betsey, Thomas Henry, Wilson Jr., and Isaac Wilson) The family moved from New Jersey to Cayuga Co, NY in 1810, and moved from there to Cortland County, NY in 1819. The 1820 census shows Wilson living in Virgil, Cortland Co., NY. Wilson and Rhoda are buried in Lapeer, Cortland Co., NY on what was the family farm. Any help tearing down my brick wall would be greatly appreciated. Patty

His wife on 1850 census was Phebe b abt 1805 NY. 2 known children were Robert b abt 1816 and Augusta b abt 1830 NY. Local histories of Delaware Co, NY state Amasa J Parker 2 Jun 1807 Sharon, Litchfield CT - 13 May 1890 Albany NY was his nephew. Amasa J was son of Reverent Daniel thus Daniel b abt 1780 MA was apparently Amasa above's brother. Both Amasas were lawyers and NY politicians. "Colonel Parker was born in Litchfield county, Conn., in 1784. He was graduated from Yale College, studied law In Litchfield and afterward with Peter Van Schaik at Kinderhook, N. Y. In 1812 he removed to Delhi and formed a law partnership with Samuel Sherwood, then in the acme of his professional career. This lasted until Mr. Sherwood removed to New York." "His residence was near that of Mr. Sherwood at the influx of the Little Delaware. Afterward he formed a partnership with his nephew, Amasa J. Parker, which continued until the latter was appointed a judge and removed to Albany. Then he still continued the practice of law with his son, Robert Parker. His distinguished services in his profession ended with his death in 1855." (of Amasa J:) "He was the son of Rev. Daniel Parker, a Congregational clergyman who for many years was the pastor of a church in Sharon, Connecticut. He was born in Sharon in 1807; but in 1816 the father removed to Greenville, in Greene county, N. Y., where he took charge of the Academy of that place." I'm wanting to learn if I can who were the parents and grandparents of Amasa and Daniel. My ancestor Dolla / Dolly Parker 1757 - 1836 is said in various written accounts to be their cousin. Although I don't know that means 1st cousin, it should give me an idea what Parkers to be digging into. Kaye in Texas __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!

Well after thirty years of looking for our John Parker (b 1858 in Mississippi) we have removed him from the witness protection program. Our problem is a common one, a common name with multiple possible families. Searching for a John Parker in Ancestry does not narrow down ones choices. Even in Mississippi in 1858, we had multiple possible families. The records did not push us one way or the other. 18 months ago we joined the Parker DNA research and were promptly disappointed as there were no matches. Earlier this year a Parker descendent from one of our possible families also joined the DNA research, the results this week were dramatic. Out of 25 checked markers a 25 marker match. All signs now point to John being a member of the William Calvin Parker family and his brother being William Munroe Parker. If you have dead ends, and who amongst us does not, then getting your self into the DNA program is money well spent. Adding up the money spent on letters or Internet databases, the DNA will pay for itself many times over. David Grawrock
