Has anyone ever found anything on Rose'a ancestry and birthplace? thanks, Charles Charles According to a 1999 NEHGR article, Rose Whitlock's father was Thomas Whitlock and she was baptized in Wheathampstead, Hertsford, England in 1624. As I stated before, my copy of the article is gone, but these are the notes I took from that article. I do not even have an author's name or what his source was. Sorry.

Gene and List: This article in the NEHGR is not gospel either. Everything that we find printed is one person's opinion - unless we have the original birth, marriage and death documentation for all parties involved. The 1883 NEHGR article by Rev. Edward G. Hodgeman "The History of Westford, Massachusetts, 1659-1883" AND The 1860 publication by James Savage, "The Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers of New England, Showing Three Generations of Those Who Came Before May, 1692, On the Basis of Farmer's Register" BOTH state that Abraham was the first of the Parker brothers to come to America, first settling in Charlestown and then joining with his brother James in moving to Woburn approximately 1639. James was married there in 1643 and Abraham in 1644. But they had both been well established by the time of their marriages. My point is simply that unless the ship manifests are found, none of us can be 100% certain of who came first. We know the time frame of when the brothers were here, there is documetation that they did indeed come to Massachusetts so I will not split straws over who came first. And historians differ in opinion as we have just seen. Now Gene gives another mother for the Parker Brothers: "The popular notion that the mother of those boys was Ann Gelly is not correct. She was Anna/Ann Snagges who m. 1st Richard Sybley/Sibley." We now have 1. Mrs Margery Parker 2. Joane Drake 3. Ann Gelley 4. Anna/Ann Snagges What documentation is available to establish any of these 4 women as the wife of John Parker? There are Parish Registers in Great Burstead to show the marriage of Ann Gelley to John Parker and the births of all the known children are attributed to "John and Ann Parker" in Great Burstead. Granted, we have no evidence that this is OUR John Parker, but the years of birth for the children match those provided in records of the men as adults. And we have no evidence that Ann Gelley is the mother named Ann in all of these births. However, again, we have the marriage in the right time frame and the proper location noted in parish registers. I find no such evidence for a marriage of Joane Drake and John Parker, nor anyone named Margery. Personally, I will have to do some more research regarding the newly provided information of an Anna/Ann Snagges-Sybley/Sibley. Possibly Gene would be so kind as to provide us with a reference to shorten the quest. I have never seen or heard this name mentioned before. Mention of Margery as the mother of this particular John Parker does not fit with the 1999 NEHGR article about the Parkers that indicated that his mother was Mary Wheeler and his father was John Parker. Unfortunately my copies of the above-mentioned NEHGR articles were destroyed in a bizarre mishap on the interstate, and I have never obtained additional copies so I can not cite the page numbers - I simply had them cross-referenced to my own personal paper files. Again, we need to discuss these things and not state that one person is right and another is wrong as we have not seen the original vital documents which are the only absolute proof. Jo Hogle

The popular notion that the mother of those boys was Ann Gelly is not correct. She was Anna/Ann Snagges who m. 1st Richard Sybley/Sibley. The notion that Abraham (Abram) Parker was the first to migrate is incorrect...His brother James was first to come, and settled at Woburn.

Hi Jo - This will most likely only muddy the waters regarding the Parker bros. And, I am not sure that this tidbit, will add much. But, in Familes of Cavendish, Vol. 2, compiled by Linda Margaret Farr Welch, says that "it is believed that the five Parker brothers, sons of John & Margery Parker, were all born in England and joined the Charlestown Colony at the mouth of the Charles River prior to 1640" I notice there is considerable info on James, but I will send more later when I have a chance to look it over......Let me know, if you have access to the previously mentioned book, so I do not duplicate info......cheers, Phyl in Reno ----- Original Message ----- From: <Hogle1@aol.com> To: <PARKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 8:01 AM Subject: [PARKER-L] John Parker's wife c 1585 > I am still searching for needed evidence to show that Joane DRAKE was the > wife of John Parker. > > In the Parish Registers found at the LDS, there is evidence that John Parker > of Great Burstead, England married Ann GELLEY in 1610. > There are baptisms/christenings in Great Burstead in the following years for > the following children: > > 1615 John Parker - listed only as "son of John Parker" > > All of the following are listed as son/daughter of "John and Ann Parker" > 1617 James Parker > 1619 Abraham Parker > 1622 Joseph Parker > 1624 Anne Parker > 1626 Jacob Parker > 1630 Joshua Parker > > > A 1999 NEHGR article regarding the Parker brothers notes that they came from > Great Burstead, England and that they were the children of "John and Anne > Parker" > Now obviously Ann can be a nickname for Joane, but I find no marriage > listing for John Parker and Joane Drake in Great Burstead. > > Therefore, I feel that the preponderance of evidence indicates that the > Parker brothers who settled in Woburn, Groton, and Chelmsford, Massachusetts were > probably those listed above and their mother is NOT Joane Drake but IS Anne > GELLEY. > > I believe that it has been accepted by many that Joane Drake was the mother > of the settling Parkers but does anyone have evidence of the fact? > > Since I am a direct descendant of James and Abraham Parker this is something > I am very interested in resolving. > > I know I have presented this before, but no evidence has been forthcoming > and I keep hoping that others will be continuing research and finding more facts > that I have missed. > > Thanks > Jo Hogle >

I am still searching for needed evidence to show that Joane DRAKE was the wife of John Parker. In the Parish Registers found at the LDS, there is evidence that John Parker of Great Burstead, England married Ann GELLEY in 1610. There are baptisms/christenings in Great Burstead in the following years for the following children: 1615 John Parker - listed only as "son of John Parker" All of the following are listed as son/daughter of "John and Ann Parker" 1617 James Parker 1619 Abraham Parker 1622 Joseph Parker 1624 Anne Parker 1626 Jacob Parker 1630 Joshua Parker A 1999 NEHGR article regarding the Parker brothers notes that they came from Great Burstead, England and that they were the children of "John and Anne Parker" Now obviously Ann can be a nickname for Joane, but I find no marriage listing for John Parker and Joane Drake in Great Burstead. Therefore, I feel that the preponderance of evidence indicates that the Parker brothers who settled in Woburn, Groton, and Chelmsford, Massachusetts were probably those listed above and their mother is NOT Joane Drake but IS Anne GELLEY. I believe that it has been accepted by many that Joane Drake was the mother of the settling Parkers but does anyone have evidence of the fact? Since I am a direct descendant of James and Abraham Parker this is something I am very interested in resolving. I know I have presented this before, but no evidence has been forthcoming and I keep hoping that others will be continuing research and finding more facts that I have missed. Thanks Jo Hogle

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ella WOODSON which was taken at the W.P. Johnson Studio in Salem, Oregon. The name Ella WOODSON ANABLE PARKER also appears on the photograph, so I'm assuming the WOODSON was her maiden name and the other names were married names. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Ella appearing to be in her 20's at the time. Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of Ella WOODSON daughter of John & Augusta WOODSON who were all living in Yoncalla, OR during the 1880 census. Ella was just 12 years old at the time, born in OR as were her three siblings living with the family at that time, including, Dora age 6, John age 5, and Laura age 1. Ella's father listed himself as a Farmer, age 40 and born in Missouri and her Mother listed as just 23 years old. Not likely old enough to have a 12 year old daughter and much younger than her husband, this may have been his second wife and not Ella's Mother. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

The 1800 Monmouth NJ census has 14 households, all but one in Shewsbury twp. I'm looking for family for daughter (Dorothy?) Dolly Parker born 1757. According to a Cook family history written in the 1920s, the Parker home was said to have been close by the Monmouth battlefield in 1778. It also suggests the family was Huguenot "who had been driven out of France in the early wars and had settled in New Jersey". To me that could refer to earlier generations and not specifically Dolly's or her parents'. The elder Amasa J Parker is stated in that family history to have been Dolly's brother, but I think that's a stretch, given their age difference. Half-brother, possibly. So much for the speculative part, although there is always some truth in family lore. John COOK was with George Washington in that battle and found wounded on the battlefield early next morning by Dolly, who got him to her father's house where she nursed him to health. They were married the following year. Her father may have been a physician, suggested by Dolly's career of frontierswoman doctoring in the wilds at her new home at what became Delaware Co, NY.

Hello Cousins: We have a new volunteer to help with our PARKER DNA project. Greg PARKER has agreed to serve as the co-administrator for the project. You can check his PARKER research at: http://www.nhn.ou.edu/~parker/Genealogy/DNA.htm Greg has also established PARKER DNA projects at Relative Genetics and DNA Heritage. You can find links to those projects on his web site. If you are not familiar with our genealogy by DNA project for the PARKER surname, please visit our web site at: http://web.utk.edu/~corn/parkerdna/ Thanks to the generosity of a few people, we have established a fund to assist with the cost of DNA testing. If you would like to contribute to this fund, FTDNA has a web page to accept donations by credit card, paypal, or personal check at: http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html We will use this fund to provide cost sharing for the Y-DNA test. Our cost for the 25 marker test at FTDNA is $169 (+ $2 shipping & handling). We will use our fund to pay one-half the cost, until the fund is exhausted. Your cost would then be $86. We will only fund the 25 marker Y-chromosome DNA test. The DNA sample must be from a living male who carries the PARKER surname. DNA is collected by swabbing inside the cheek. It is painless, quick, and easy. Please email me if you are interested in our cost sharing for the DNA test. I will request a little more information before approving the cost share.
