These Parkers used many of the same names. Do you have proof? Isaac's family didn't use the name William in children, I know that doesn't mean a thing. There are two Benjamins in MS/LA by 1820. The one in LA and one that died in Wilkinson MS in 1818. Then there are 4 or 5 William that were adults with families by 1830-40. Then even in the odd name of Aaron, there is more than one. The one that came to Jackson County with Hubbard and Lewis. There is mine that was born ~1770-1833 who was married to Tabitha Rayborn, he was in Amite/Covington/?Lawrence and Copiah. The 3rd early born Aaron (before 1790)was in Lawrence and Neshoba Counties. Then there was the Lewis/Louis who is found in Copiah in 1830, don't confuse him with the Lewis that came to Jackson County area with Aaron and Hubbard. See what I mean.... just to many to asumme a connect because they lived in the same area. Records show my Family 5(DNA) lived where Family 1, Family 7 and Family 28 lived, all at the same time. This is theory, I think there are more "Family 5" then most people think. I love to prove, but without more DNA sample its not possible. I would start by looking at those that came to Copiah/Hinds county by 1830, this would include William, Lewis, Jeremiah/Jerry, James E. Parker to name a few.
