There are at least three, if not more, good books written by professionals , about Quanah Parker-I have three of them He is not connected to my husbands Parkers that we know of now, but that might be a possibility in the future if the two or 3 lines ever connect. If it were to be connected it would have to be an ancestor --grandfather or greatgrandfather of Silas Mercer Parker, father of Cynthia Ann who is the mother of Quanah Parker. Would really like to know the ancestors of Elder John Parker, father of Silas Mercer Parker. Have seen lots of info but there again --how correct is that info? My hubby is 5th great grandson of John Parker b. 1680 or later who d. in Hampshire Co VA in 1760, leaving a will naming his wife as only Elizabeth. Also named in the will were their 6 children and one grandson to share equally in the settlement . This grandson was Thomas Parker but we think his father might have been an older child (not on of these 6) who pre-deceased this John Parker. The estate settlement in June 1765 showed no listint of grandson Thomas Parker so he may have been deceased also. After the death of JOhn Parker in Nov 1760 and before the settlement in June 1765, widow Elizabeth had remarried to one Thomas McGuire who had a previous marriage. Elizabeth d. in 1786 and Thomas is thought to have married again and went back to his native county where he died in 1793. We have a certified genealogist working on this for us in VA now and he has sent us documents but nothing really conclusive and nothing that we were not aware of already. Maybe this will pan out with some good info for us soon. Virginia WINN Parker Oxnard, CA

I receive all the Parker postings, as I have P ancestors. But, they were in PA in 1850, and before that in CT.......But, I am interested in your WINN mention, as I am also descended from the WINN family in early MA.....By any chance is this your family?....cheers, Phyl in Reno Winngen7391@aol.com wrote: There are at least three, if not more, good books written by professionals , about Quanah Parker-I have three of them He is not connected to my husbands Parkers that we know of now, but that might be a possibility in the future if the two or 3 lines ever connect.
