I assume since my great great grand father John Rees died when W H Rees was not of age (16), that B F Parker was either an extended family member, or old family friend. It appears that they all originated in PA, (Kivett side of the Rees family), and B F Parker's ancestor. The Rees side came down a little later, but have been involved with all these people for over 2 centuries. Can you tell me more about the Parker family. I would greatly appreciate any information about B F Parker, as I believe my family loved him so much, they named 2 generations after him. Thank you, Vicki Rees Kendall Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
