Parker, but his son Ores Eugene Parker was born 1898 somewhere in Texas. In 1900, Wm. was working for the Hensley family as a farm laborer in Oklahoma, Chickasaw Indian Territory. Since the boy Ores was a baby, it is likely that the Hensleys cared for him when small. Ores Eugene married Lillie Lankford of Quinlan, Hunt Co. Texas by 1918 and lived with her family. He filed Selective Service papers in Hunt Co. TX that year as a married man. The Loyd Hensley family from Chickasaw either was from or went back to (maybe both) several counties in Indiana, and Ores E. listed Indiana as a residence when he applied for his Social Security card after 1933. His father's earlier employment with a Hensley family noted above may explain how/why Ores was in Indiana with them, or there was a family connection that was not reflected on the census record. Although I did not find documents that showed it, it is possible that Ores E. Parker was later in some branch of the service or the government, perhaps as a career. His last residence was in Silver Springs, Maryland. He died August 1967. If these bits lead you to other data which might help in this research, please advise at jandpparker@msn.com. I research Parkers of many bloodlines for fun and for free. If I have sent this information to you before and it does not apply to your people, please ignore. I do not think that the Ores Parker line is related to my Parker family. Patricia Ross Parker, FG#7 researcher Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
