Hi Terri, My husand is descended from a long string of Robert Parkers in Devon England. His grandfather came from Devon in the 1870's.There is another line in Devon and guess what the town is?? It is Barnstaple in the norther part of the county. Has anyone researched your line in Devon, England? How did Barnstaple get it's name?

Thank you Joseph. No, I am not sure about the date of birth. I have this information from an online source. I had no prior research on James until my cousin had his YDNA done and the blood line goes back to this James Parker. Really, I would appreciate anything on them you can show us. The parents were unknown and I had looked in Tennessee many places trying to go through every Parker who had a male that age in 1820. Then, I went through Jefferson co. Illinois census of 1840 because one of the sons, Elijah, was born 1837 Jefferson co. The rest of the children from 1838-1852 were born just Illinois. I have no counties for them. Do you have any connections for this James to the Nathaniel Parker family since they are in the same counties about the same times? Thank you so much. Nancy Misenheimer

I recommend not going that route unless you wish to have a good chuckle. I could not agree with Gene more. There are many "sources" where we can go for information that are not sources at all. They are someone's opinion, someone's conjecture, even someone's fabrication. Among these are the LDS Ancestral Files; the LDS IGI files; the WFT CDs and online files; LDS Pedigree Files; Ancestry.com family trees; and all of the online family trees and databases. Now - I agree there are some that are a good source of information, well-documented and able to direct you to the publication or document that will verify to YOU that the information is correct. But you have to take what they give you and check it out yourself. If nothing else, remember that we are all guilty of typographical errors. Within the LDS IGI files there are "extracted records". These are good as it means that someone looked at the document and transcribed the information. However, if at all possible you need to review the document yourself. Often that is not possible and then I make other attempts to verify the information. For example, if the extracted record gives someone's birthdate, parents and location...I attempt to verify that by a DIFFERENT transcription if at all possible. If not, I note my source and note the reliability of the source in my database. At a glance I can see that I need more evidence. But for the most part the IGI and such will give you a HINT and as Gene said, a good chuckle. Jo Hogle

I unfortunately misstyped the volume number and exact page of the article I cited earlier. The full title, correctly written is: Richardson, Douglas."The English Origin and Ancestry of the Parker Brothers of Massachusetts."NEHGR vol. 153[January 1999] commencing on p81. I apologize for the misdirection.. For those who prefer to do their own research on the matter in question, the author provided an excelent bibliography covering his research of the Parker family line, including the Converses as well. The bottom line, however, as Jo correctly pointed out, is that the wife's surname is murky at best. Richardson, the latest to tackle the matter, left her surname blank, but provided a footnote in which he speaks of Ann Snagges as "perhaps" the wife but says he could not find her marriage in the Romford parish registers on films at the LDS library, and says somebody would have to look elsewhere for it. He does not provide the surname of any other person as the wife of John....no Drake or no Gelley. Richardson also says there are records of multiple John Parkers who married Anns in the records he examined.... I looked at the IGI records for John and Ann... I recommend not going that route unless you wish to have a good chuckle. 'Gene Hubbard

Would Jo Hogle contact me off-list, please? Thanks, 'Gene Hubbard

Hi List, Below is the reference from the NEHGR article regarding a marriage between John Parker and Anne Snagges/Sibley. They were married in Romford, Essex. There is a PERHAPS in the statement - indicating that this might be the John Parker and wife Ann from Great Burstead. It also notes that there are numerous deaths of women named Anne who were married to John Parker in and around Romford,Essex. The statement makes no indication that this is indeed the mother of the Parker brothers that are discussed in this article. Just another possibility. Any other thoughts? Jo Hogle p.89 25. The parish registers of Romford, Essex (FHL microfilm 571, 183) record a marriage in 1613 for a John Parker to Anne Sibley (Boyd's Marriage Index, Essex, on FHL microfiche 6, 026, 994 (sub Parker) and 6, 026, 996 (sub Sibly). Presumably she is the Anne Snagges who married previously at Romford, in l606 Richard Sibley (or Sybley), who was buried there 21 June 1611 (ibid., sub Sibley, and FHL microfiche 6, 026, 996, sub Snaggs; Romford Parish registers (burial of Richard Sibley). Perhaps the marriage of John Parker and Anne (Snagges) Sibley at Romford is that of John and Anne Parker who resided at nearby Great Burstead. However, the Romford registers record the deaths of several Anne Parkers in this period, as follows: Ann Parker, widow buried 26 Dec. 1616; ___, wife of John Banes alias Parker, buried 4 March 16l7/8; Anne wife of John Parker alias Banes, buried 28 April 1618; Anne wife of John Parker buried 7 April 16l8; and Anne wife of John Parker buried 7 April 1628. Given the profusion of Anne Parkers at Romford in this period of time, three of whom had husbands named John, it seems likely that the buriel record of one of these Anne Parkers relates to Anne (Snagges) Sibley who married John Parker there in 1613. If correct, then the marriage of John and Anne Parker who lived nearby in Great Burstead would have to be sought elsewhere.

They were all in MA at the same time but they did not live near each other and there is no record of wills or such indicating any connection. I know in my John Parker line there is no Robert Parker.
