Many online sites and researchers also claim that Nathaniel Parker and wife Ann Clayton were the parents of Elder John Parker and his brother Daniel. The Carney Genealogy site is an example. This is what you are up against: Parker Surname YDNA Project YDNA results match a living male who tests into a group, along with the lineal ancestors and descendants of: 1) Nathaniel Parker in Family Group #18 Nathaniel Parker's parents were John Parker and Elizabeth Taliaferro (Tolliver) 2) Elder John Parker in Family Group #5 Elder John and Daniel Parker's parents have yet to be effectively identified Google the Carney Genealogy site online, and you can decide for yourself if this very nicely done site mixes up two separate blood lines and families. It is very possible that some of the children attributed to Nathaniel 1724 Parker and Ann Clayton actually are not theirs. Elder John and Daniel are from another bloodline. It is certainly possibly to be a part of one family or the other, but not both at the same time. So at this point I cannot name the father of Moses, Elder John's nephew. If you would like more details on this puzzle, please email me at jandpparker@msn.com and I will email you my material. It is a little long for this message board. My Parker family is not related to any of these people.
