Thanks for replying. Until DNA testing came along I would have spent my entire lifetime trying to prove a connection between the two lines that do not exist. I am still trying to find my maternal line, Charles Parker, my grgr grandfather. He was supposed originally from NC or SC. But everything I explore leads everywhere but back to his father. Very frustering as you can imagine. Can you explain your FG#7. I would never have understood all of the Parker lines if I had not become a part of Eastern Shores Parker Website where I found out about the occupational name of Parker.
