My line is through Philander Wallace Parker who married Harriet Hannah Walradt. What caught Jackie's attention was the Massachusetts location. I have no idea why Philander said his parents were from Massachusetts on that one census when all others said RI. Anyway, Jackie had Archie send me the details they had collected on John and Mary and their children. There were two Philander Parkers in the New York area at the same time but he was positive my Philander belonged to John and Mary. My branch of the family stayed in Warren Co. PA until my grandfather who went first to West Virginia (logging) and then to North East, PA which is in Erie Co. about 15 miles east of Erie. Most of the family stayed in that area except for my personal family who moved to South Florida. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
