Nothing I noted (and told you about) through the life of Timothy Richard Parker implied anything Native American, just his English origins. If he or any of his sons married a Native American woman, male descendant YDNA testing would not reflect said Native blood. Female descendants of such unions would probably reflect a Native haplo, if it existed, through a mitochondrial test. Read up on the specific haplo codes for Native found in mitochondrial testing. Perhaps your great uncle in Jersey just liked funny hats.
