LOUISE, Which of the many 'Parker family tree' websites are you referring to? Thanks, Kathy. ----- Original Message ----- From: WEEZ5050@aol.com To: rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [PARKER-ROOTS] Re: Thomas Parker Proof My gr,g,g grandfather was Thomas Parker also, from Campobello New Brunswick, my gr.gggrandmother was Sarah Parker who also had a brother Thomas. I in fact am researching Parkers and it is starting to click in Have you gone to Parker Family Tree, web site. there is where Thomas started and Campobello Island is where they ended. Sarah Parker married Nehemiah Mitchell from the Island as well as 8 Parkers married into the Mitchell Family. Good Luck Hope this helps Louise Smith

Listers, When I go to the VTLS website for Library of Virginia, (URL is below...be sure you have all the plus signs at the end of it) and click on the number required for a document for Thomas Parker I believe it is the wrong document. Someone else please try and see if it is just me. Go to the URL, if you click on # 12, which is Thomas Parker, March 18, 1650, this is supposed to be page 280, and supposedly on page 280 is where Thomas parker received land for transporting his family. It should name his children. Wouldn't you know the one I need is incorrect. But I want to be sure I am doing this correct. Can someone else please try, or does anyone know the correct page that should come up for this item? Thanks, Kathy Wells. http://eagle.vsla.edu/cgi-bin/lonn.gateway?authority=0057-59680&conf=010000++++++++++++++

JACKIE, I hope you don't mind me posting this to the lists. This information pretty much agrees with that which is in the Richard Parker, Chirurgeon book by Mrs. McSwain. And I don't disagree with this part that you have below. I did not have the wife's name of the Thomas Parker son of Richard & Eliz. Bailey though or his death year. Do you know where you found that? 1) I am a little confused though by part of your message below, and am hoping you can clear it up for me. In your statement "> Richard Parker dies about the year 1680, leaving issue, Thomas, Richard, Francis, Peter, William, John, and Elizabeth. <" How do you know for sure he had these other 4 children? Did he leave a Will naming them by chance? 2) In this statement.....which Richard is this? Richard the immigrant you stated had married Eliza. Bailey and that she was a widow in 1690 after her husband had died?? > Richard married second in 1656 Mary, widow of Nicholas Perkins of Charles City Co., VA. The marriage contract, dated July 31, 1656, recorded Sept 5, 1656, and witnessed by Richard Delahere, indicates that Mary had property in England and in VA, and had children by her prior marriage. It is not known which of the children indicated here were by which marriage, nor if the children of Mary Perkins Parker are included. It is probable that Richard was first married about 1650, and may have had two or three children of his first marriage."

Their children inherited and were living upon the manors of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and Trinity in 1707. > Richard, the elder of these two brothers, married Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Richard Bailey of London and Accomac Co., VA, who was Justice of the Peace for said county. She was living a widow after 1690 in the Lower Parish of Nansemond Co., VA, adjoining the lands of her son Thomas. The records of the land office of VA also show that Richard Parker received 600 acres in Nansemond Co. in 1654, re-granted 1662, and during this interval he was evidently returned to England, for the following year (1662) he was given 100 acres for coming twice to VA and a similar tract granted 1675, was re-granted 1698 to his son Richard.

WILLIAM Ooops, I thought the Will of Thomas Parker you sent was the one that married Jeanne EARLY??? Have they proven her name was not Early? Or was that a different Thomas Parker? Now this is really confusing. On the Thomas Parker that married Cecily Montague, I am wondering if Cecily was his second wife and maybe Frances ____ was a third wife??? I am going to have to order copies of the Estate because this report I have states Frances Parker administered his estate in 1663 in Isle of Wight. Does anyone know when Cecily Parker might have died?

William I have seen several sources that agree that this Thomas Parker with the Will you listed below, is the brother to Peter Parker that married Elizabeth and has his Will in 1720 chowan, N.C. Do you have any definite proof as to the parents of this Thomas Parker with the Will below? That is where I am stuck. Trying to prove the parents of Peter Parker and this Thomas Parker.

I can scan a copy of the will, sure, but it could take a few days to get to gether, and no, the name is not Sessum's for us, but Sisson. I have seen it spelled many interesting ways, though! Hannah Parker Raines married Thomas Sisson, Jr. and Martha Parker, a niece, married Thomas Sisson, a nephew. It is real confusing, I know. There is/was a Nicholas Sessum's in VA, but no relation at all. Just a similar sounding name. As for "both lists....can't help you there.

KATHLEEN, I have a couple of questions. 1) I keep posting to 2 lists, (one has ROOTS in it,) are they actually the same list or should I continue posting to both??? 2) Do you have a copy of that Will of Richards? If so, can you scan it and send me a copy, or is it typed somewhere that you could attach that information? My E-mail is rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net 3) Is there any chance at all that your Sisson could have been the same as Sessums? In other words, could the Sessums have been written wrong? I noticed a couple of Parkers married Sessums??? Probably not, but just wondering?? thanks,Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Sisson" <ironpants55@hotmail.com> To: <rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net>; <PARKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 5:00 PM Subject: Re: [PARKER-L] Re: [PARKER-ROOTS] Re: Accurate information > Thank you Kathy for posting this.

CHARLES, Darn....are you sure you aren't up to a move??? (just kidding). I think I talked to you a long time ago. Your name sounds familiar. Anyway, I wondered about your very first two lines of the lineage. [ > 9g-gf: Thomas Parker II married to Ann King, son of > 10g-gf: Thomas Parker I married to Christian Boddie]. You show Thomas Parker II as marrying Ann King. In this report I have, they show Thomas married someone named Elinor. And that his Will is proved March 10, 1697 in Isle of Wight? Do you by chance have anything definite on this?

I have a small paperback book I purchased several years ago, title "The Parker Story" by Thomas E. Way". it is the bio of one Fleming AKA Jim Parker, b. 1865 Visalia, California. At age 16 he was already incorrigigble, and was sentenced to San Quentin. From that time on, he was outside the law, and only ended when he was hanged June 8, 1898 in Prescott, Ariz. this is the only Parker listed in this book. Mary

There was one, I think his name was Christopher Parker. -----Original Message----- From: cjborne <cjborne@prodigy.net> To: PARKER-L@rootsweb.com <PARKER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, January 12, 2003 11:32 AM Subject: [PARKER-L] Parkers at the Alamo? >Dear List, > >I understand that we have had several Parker families that have either been >foolish or adventurous enough to trek into the great “West” of our country, >but did any Parkers serve and perish at the Texas Alamo in 1836? > >Just curious… > >Craig Borne > >______________________________

TERRY, So right you are. That was why I was trying to see if anyone had any 'REAL' proof. It's amazing and sad the stories out there on the internet about this family, and none of them match up...well very few. No one seems to actually have copies of any proof. Thank Heavens I didn't hire this genealogist that did the report. (And I'm not putting down genealogists, I am one myself...). I just asked a libary in Georgia to make a copy of this genealogical report that I saw a reference to. But, again, the report makes sense and lines up, BUT, I want to see the proof! Before I ordered a bunch of documents, I thought I would see if anyone had any of them in their possession so we could save some time and money here. I have had several listers who have given me sites on the internet that you can actually see some of the old documents on. But, so far they haven't helped. It is my guess, with this many people working on the same line, that there may not be any further proof. We may have to hope they do a DNA project some day that might provide the help like some other families have done. As always, thanks for any comments, suggestions or help.

Dear List, I understand that we have had several Parker families that have either been foolish or adventurous enough to trek into the great “West” of our country, but did any Parkers serve and perish at the Texas Alamo in 1836? Just curious… Craig Borne

I want the attention of anyone who is connected to THOMAS PARKER b.possibly in Wyonbishe, England, died in Isle of Wight, VA about 1663? The one that married widow of Peter Montague! I have a report done by Certified Genealogists in Georgia from years ago. I have seen many descrepancies of information on the internet, and most of them do not state what source the proof came from. They just state information as a fact and then you find they copied it from someone else's Gedcom or files. I would like for everyone and anyone who can give us an actual source for any of the information below to please post back to this group with the reference. We really need to pool this together and get our facts straight. 1) a) The Report says he came to the US in 1642 with 4 children: named Joana, Thomas, Elizabeth and Francis; b) Yet I have seen statements that he came to US at other dates, and had a fifth child named John with him??? (Does anyone have a ship record, or a reliable book that states exactly when he came and the childrens names?) 2) a) The report states he married Frances Montague, widow of Peter Montague and she is named on the administration of Thomas Parker's estate in 1663; b) Yet I have seen other dates for his Administration of his estate, and they refer to her as Cecily???? (Does anyone actually have a copy of his Administration of estate to see what the wife's name is, or other proof of her name?) 3) a) The report claims Thomas and second wife Frances had children: Catherine, Peter, and Richard; b) Yet I have seen other names of children by his second wife, and I have seen claims he did not have any children at all by his second wife, (Could Frances be a second wife of Thomas, and Cecily Montague be a third wife? Anyone have any kind of proof on this? and/or names of any children?) I am more than willing to share this report with anyone who will take the time to check it out. I have it here now. The copy I got from Georgia is not real clear. But, it was from Genealogical Enterprises, Certified Genealogist, 6073 Woodview Dr, Morrow, GA 30260. Jeannette B. Starki or Sturki, C.G.; and Dorothy H. Berring or Derring, C.G.. It is about 15 pages. I have had a hard time making heads or tails fo the report to know if I have the information correct, but I also realize no one else seems to agree on anything about Thomas Parker either.
