Good evening Cousins: I have updated our PARKER family DNA webpage: http://web.utk.edu/~corn/parkerdna/ Click on results to see what the DNA test results look like, then click on ancestors to see the PARKER ancestor of the participants. We haven't found any matches yet, but that will happen as more people submit their DNA for testing. Email me if you have questions, comments, or suggestions.

The trail leads from Sterling, in Scotland, to Londonderry-Donegal in Ulster, to Pennsylvania, the valley of Virginia, east Tennessee and points west.

I have searched for rare, out of print source materials as both a hobby and an obsession and have offered to make copies for people from time to time. Because of a busy schedule I will only be able to do so once a year. I have added two new items since last time and they are described with the others below beginning with the most recent history first: Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages. This covers the families who settled in Russell and Scott counties, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Tthe Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia, 542 pages.

From the preface the following: "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great state and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy...

From Lecky the following: "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places....

Hello: I'm new to the list, and am anxious to contact anyone who might be familiar with John Parker who was born abt. 1784 in Wake Co, NC, and died 10/22/1864 in Parker's Crossroads, TN. He first married Sarah Hilliard and after her death, married her sister, Rebecca Hilliard. My line comes from their son, John R. Parker who married Isabella Ann Wiley. Trying to prove he really was their son. Thanks, Leslie Hill
