However, either there were two Samuel Parkers or perhaps Susan was married twice. The marriage records for both Josephine B. Parker and Eliza B. Parker both show Samuel Parker and Susan L. Parker as parents of the bride. There are also marriage records on both with a day just before the wedding day that may have been for a marriage bond, both of which say Susan L. Carey are their mother. Josephine, Georgia and Eliza all have B as their middle initial which probably stands for Belotte. There are two Samuel Parkers in the Norfolk area. One of them is evident on the 1820 Census of Norfolk. I guess you are the one who says Samuel took his oath of Allegiance in 1840? Believe me, I am not arguing with you, just trying to get to the bottom of the matter. I can supply you with the marriage records which are just printouts of the record on FamilySearch.org, the Mormon website. After receiving your message, I also s! aw the marriage record for Samuel Parker and Susan Belotte. Can't figure this one out. Maybe we can correspond via regular email. I can send you my records and you can send me yours? Don't know if you're amenable to that but would love to figure this out. My email is sealyons@bellsouth.net.
