Richard married a Stanley and then a Smoot. David is supposed to be another brother. He married a Combs. Sharach may be another brother. Then there is also Henry Parker (last name on marriage Combs but land records state Henry Parker) married 1805 Elizabeth Chambers. Their son Basil Parker married Sarah Tedder and their daughter Nancy Parker married John Tedder. Their brother Benj Tedder married Mahalea Eastridge who was the sister of Squire Parker's wife Polly Eastridge. Henry Parker died 1828 and his wife and children are mentioned in a deed selling his land. The deed was entered 1832 and is at the deed office. I think it was 150 acres. Im not looking at the record. Henry's widow along with her 4 known children moved to KY only uncle Basil moved back to Wilkes. I think Henry's land was close by Richards. they all lived near each other. Have you spoken to Preacher Jonah Parker? I spoke to him a few years back. I dont know if he is still alive. He was in his 90's. He lives in Wilkes descends from Squire's son Alexander. He even told me there may be no paper but all those Parkers are related and most are buried in the Parker family cemetery. He knows they all descend from Jonathan of Surry and Wilkes was formed from Surry so its possible some of them were born there not Wilkes. Squire Parker's first marriage was in Surry , 2nd marriage in Wilkes. Squire Parker's brother John had dealings with Lucretia Combs in Surry. The answered maybe in court minutes in Wilkes and or Surry. Those are on microfilm at the state archives My family lived in Hunting Creek. I know the Moores still have some Property. I don't know who has our old Riddle property but it was right next to the Moores on a Mountain side. This is Mary Parker Riddle ( granddaughter of Ridchard Parker) http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=25656813 Our Patriarch John T Riddle was a chain Carrier on one of Richards deeds. Richard's granddaughter Mary above was married to John T Riddle's grandson Leander Riddle. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
