My records show that Nathaniel Parker, Sr. was from Hampshire Co., VA. I have a copy of the Hampshire Co., VA papers belong to his mother (Elizabeth Parker McGuire) where a division was made of the lands owned by the boys' father, John, who died in Oct. 1760 in Hampshire Co., VA.

William had two brothers, Steve and Chrissie (Christmas). I would appreciate any info on him and his parents. Thanks, Gale

I'm trying to substantiate whether Martha Parker (one of the daughters of Peter Parker and Ann Tool), who married A.W. Foster, was married a second time after the death of Mr. Foster (I believe that A.W. Foster and Martha Parker are my great-great-great grandparents) in the mid-1850s. I have information that she married a man by the name of Richard Williams and would like to substantiate this (I can find no record of this marriage). Help! Richard Foster Austin, TX

Hi everyone, I'm new to this list and hoping someone is linked to the same line I am. I descend from ELIZABETH PARKER, b. abt 1810 VA, m. PARKER COBB, 3/15/1833, KY, died 4/8/1870, Ninevah, IN, Bartholomew County. She may have married a man with the surname Searcy first. This is ALL I have on PARKER. Trying to find Elizabeth's parents/family and also why my ggg grandfather was named PARKER COBB. Does anyone have a Parker family with a daughter, Elizabeth, that would fit this info? Here's hoping!

Greetings, can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of DESC. OF HEZEKIAH V. PARKER, SR AND MARY ANN SMITH by Mildred beth Stewart, published in 1988. thank you, pat petty

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone could tell me who the siblings of JONATHAN PARKER born in Nc died in Stewart co. TN about 1850. i know some of his sons were MALLORY, GARRISON, and maybe EXUM. I believe his brother was ISAAC who was to be ex. of his will but died before he could so EXUM took over. I believe my FRANCIS PARKER could also be the son or nephew of JONATHAN. FRANCIS was born ca. 1812 in NC moved to TN where he married PENELOPE EDWARDS in Rutherford co. in 1837. They had children, susan (who married ALEXANDER BYARS in Weakley co. TN in 1858), margaret, david, JONATHAN, Francis, mary elizabeth and william. This family moved to TX by 1860 census. FRANCIS was a methodist preacher. a EDWARDS purchased things from the estate of ISAAC and MARY (FULLER) PARKER when she died in Rutherford co. TN. There is also a mention of a BYARS. These families, PARKER, EDWARDS, BYARS are related somehow either by blood or close neighbors. Can anyone help me? Thnak you so! much, Pat Petty

It is only on rare occasions that I add a book to the list of "must haves" for the study of Scotch-Irish genealogy.  This one is for our friends with Pennsylvania connections and it is certainly a rare item.   Published in 1856 "by a descendant" it is titled: "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania,"   Chambersburg, Pa., Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 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...The writer, feeling as if the sand of his Time glass was nearly run out, and that he ere long must be laid aside from labor... has hastily thrown together in his leisure hours, taken from other avocations, the remarks contained in the subsequent pages." Those other avocations are Dr. Foote's Sketches of North Carolina and Virginia, Day's Historical collections, Dr. Smith's Old Redstone, Dr. Alexander's Log College, Dr. Miller's Life of Dr. Rogers, Dr. Elliott's Life of McCurdy and others, Craig's History of Pittsburgh, Hazard's Colonial Records and Archives of Pennsylvania, and American Archives by Force and Gordon's History of Pennsylvania, Mr Rupp's Histories of Lancaster, Cumberland and Franklin counties. The style of writing and knowledge of early Presbyterian history indicates the author may have been a member of the clergy*.  There is a lot of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion.   The book reads a bit like Prof. Hagy's thesis on the early frontier settlement at Castle's Woods, Virginia and it is a combination of history, genealogy and geography. *I have been told recently that Judge Chambers is the author of this work. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "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..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others.

Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  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.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history.

Pelatiah and Ruth (names of the > parents of Abigail ADAMS, born 7 Jun 1697) are not > among the names of Aaron & Abigail Parker's children I have, myself, ruled out Abigail ADAMS daughter of Moses and Lydia (Whitney) because of the Sherborn connection and the logic there, Although I agree to some extent with the logic of Nelson Dean, I never trust the "naming" as a way of determining parentage. Just based on that, Aaron Parker and Abigail (????) named one of their sons Moses, which some used as an argument to state that therefore the Abigail was that mentioned above as they named a child after Abigail's father - Moses. As I said, I do not believe this is the case, but I also do not rule out the daughter of Pelatiah and Ruth (Parker) Adams either. She is noted in the "History of Chelmsford", and the "Adams History" as being the wife of Aaron Parker. However, she would have only been 15 at the time of this marriage, rather young. Actually in the "Adams History" there is another possibility noted -- that she was the daughter of Jonathan Adams (wife Leah), born in 1693. The point is made that these are all secondary sources. And we all know that some records are just not to be found, even in towns such as Chelmsford that has published records. Unfortunately, we do not have original documents and must rely on secondary sources combined with the the VRs (when they exist) and the common practices of the time. Preponderance of Evidence is the best we can do. Assuming Aaron Parker did marry Abigail Winship in Concord, (according to the VRs) was this the SAME Aaron Parker? Do we have that information? There were other Aaron Parkers as well. And the logic of Aaron Parker, born and lived in Chelmsford, marrying Abigail Adams, daughter of Pelatiah, also born and raised in Chelmsford, is also a point. All of their children were born there as well. Nelson Dean listed quite a few secondary sources - I have others as well, all adding to the confusion as to the parentage of the wife of Aaron Parker. I am HOPING someone somewhere may have a will or probate record or other document where the child and parentage are made clear. Does ANYONE have such a document? Jo Hogle

Jo Hogle's 19 Jan 2003 post to both Parker lists (see trailing message) raises the question as to the identity of Abigail, wife of Aaron Parker. He was born 9 Apr 1689 at Chelmsford, MA [VRs, 105]. He was son of Moses Parker, and grandson of Abraham Parker, the immigrant. The question comes about because numerous secondary sources incorrectly name Aaron's wife. Secondary sources are often based on the work done in earlier secondary sources. So, an error in one source can be repeated by another source. The error gets repeated so often that it is often accepted as fact. Aaron & Abigail Parker resided in that part of Chelmsford which was set off to Westford, MA in 1729. The births of their children were recorded at Chelmsford, MA (first seven) and Westford, MA (last three): 1. Aaron Parker, born 19 Aug 1713 [VRs, 105]. 2. Samuel Parker, born 1 Jan 1717 [VRs, 111]. 3. Moses Parker, born 16 May 1718 [VRs, 109]. 4. Abigail Parker, born 17 Oct 1720 [VRs, 105]. 5. Mary Parker, born 20 Oct 1723 [VRs, 109]. 6. Lucy Parker, born 11 Jan 1726 [VRs, 109]. 7. Elizabeth Parker, born 18 Jul 1728 [VRs, 120]. 8. Isaac Parker, born 20 May 1731 [VRs, 78]. 9. Joseph Parker, born 2 Jan 1735 [VRs, 79]. 10. Esther Parker, born 4 Jul 1738 [VRs, 78]. Here are five secondary sources that identify the wife of Aaron Parker: -- Edwin Hodgman's 1883 "History of the Town of Westford, MA," extracted in "Parker in America," page 9: Aaron Parker married Abigail ADAMS about 1712. -- American Ancestry biography for Francis Jewett Parker, extracted in "Parker in America," page 115: Aaron Parker married Abigail ADAMS about 1712. -- W.H.M.A.'s 1905 "Genealogy of the Five Brothers," extracted in "Parker in America," page 531: Aaron Parker married, 13 Aug 1712 at Concord, Abigail WINSHIP, daughter of Samuel & Mary (POULTER) WINSHIP. -- Ezra Stearns' 1908 "Genealogy and Family History of the State of NH," page 231: Aaron Parker married Abigail ADAMS about 1712. -- Andrew Adams' 1898 Adams Genealogy (page 89): Aaron Parker, born 9 Apr 1689, "probably" married 1st in 1712 Abigail ADAMS, born 7 Jun 1697 at Chelmsford, dau of Pelatiah & Ruth (--?--) ADAMS. He married 2nd Dorothy Fletcher; resided Jaffrey, NH. An Abigail ADAMS mentioned in the trailing message as a possible wife of Aaron Parker was Abigail, born 7 Sep 1697 at Sherborn, MA [VRs, 9], daughter of Moses & Lydia (WHITNEY) ADAMS. Frederick Pierce's 1895 Whitney genealogy (page 24) states this Abigail ADAMS married Nathaniel PERRY. The Sherborn VRs (page 101) substantiate that marriage: Abigail ADAMS married Nathaniel PERRY, 22 Dec 1714. I am inclined to dismiss this Abigail ADAMS as a candidate wife of Aaron Parker. Another Abigail ADAMS mentioned as a possible wife of Aaron Parker was Abigail, born 7 Jun 1697 at Chelmsford, MA [VRs, 10], daughter of Pelatiah & Ruth (--?--) ADAMS. Aaron & Abigail Parker's marriage was recorded at Concord, MA [VRs, 80]: Aaron Parker married Abigail WINSHIP, 13 Aug 1712, by Justice Minott. Samuel WINSHIP married, 12 Apr 1687 at Cambridge, MA, Mary POULTER [Cambridge VRs, 430; & Medford VRs, 325]. They had five children. All the children were living 22 Feb 1708/09, and shared in the division of their father's estate [NEHGR 141:385]. Their children were: 1. Samuel Winship, b 8 Jan 1687/88 [Cambridge VRs, 775]. 2. Mary Winship, b 12 Dec 1689 [Cambridge VRs, 775]. 3. Elizabeth Winship, b 26 Nov 1691 [Cambridge VRs, 774]. 4. John Winship. 5. Abigail Winship [probable wife of Aaron Parker]. Aaron & Abigail Parker named their second son Samuel probably in recognition of the child's grandfather, Samuel WINSHIP. The child was not named after any of Aaron's ancestors, brothers or uncles because none were named Samuel. Pelatiah and Ruth (names of the parents of Abigail ADAMS, born 7 Jun 1697) are not among the names of Aaron & Abigail Parker's children.

Does anyone have evidence as to the identity of Abigail Adams that married Aaron Parker? I have evidence - but it is conflicting as to which one it was. Abigail Adams b. Sep 7, 1697 in Sherborn, Middlesex, MA to Moses Adams and Ruth Whitney OR Abigail Adams b. Jun 7, 1697 Chelmsford, Middlesex, MA to Pelatiah Adams and Ruth Parker "The Genealogical Dictionary of New England Settlers" and F.C. Pierce in his book - "The Descendants of John Whitney, Who Came from London, England to Watertown, Massachusetts in 1635" both state that it was the former. But the American Ancestry volumes claim it was the latter. It is possible that the OTHER one married Nathaniel Perry - but i do not know which is which. Any help would be aprreciated. Jo Hogle

In case anyone else wants a copy, after I fished around a little I actually found the document where Thomas Parker got a Patent for bringing his 4 children over is on page 289. the VTLS is incorrect stating it is on page 280.

I forgot to mention, for those that don't know, when you click on #12, you get an abstract of the document. Click on the word 'Patent' at the top, and you will get a generic document, then double click on that and tell your computer program to 'open it'. Then you get the actual handwritten document.
