No ma'am but the confluence of the time, place, Parker surname, Monmouth, and France sure does interest me. My Dolly Parker is said born 1757 France, lived with her father at Monmouth during the battle June 1778. Married John Cook whom she found injured on the battlefield next morning, took him to her physician father's home. The Cooks settled in Delaware Co, NY. She's said to have trained as a nurse with the French military so if the "French connection" is true their arrival at Monmouth would have been fairly recent. I'd be interested in Monmouth NJ Parkers with French connections in that particular Revolutionary era. > Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 15:45:55 -0400 > From: "Patricia Givens Warner-Woolschlager" <pattyw@localnet.com> > Subject: [PARKER] Parker/Thorpe > I am seeking information about the parents and siblings of Wilson Parker > (1776 - 1839)and his wife Rhoda Thorpe (1784 - 1864). > > I have been given a little bit more information about this couple, and > thought perhaps it would ring a bell to some kind person. > > A mirror belonging to Emilie Grenung, who brought it from France in 1743 to > Monmouth NJ,was given to her niece, Miss Rhoda Thorpe, when she married > Wilson Parker at Morristown NJ and was one of the wedding presents of her > daughter Emily Parker at her marriage to John Hollenbeck at Ithaca, NY, is > now owned (1942) by their granddaughter, Mrs. Nellie Jones, daughter of L.A. > Hollenbeck of Duchesne, Utah. > > If any of these names ring a bell to some one, please let me know. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sorry, but I don't know if these Parker's or French or not. I'm at a stand still. Wilson Parker, born in Monmouth County in 1776, died Cortland County NY in 1839. His wife, Rhoda Thorpe is evidently the niece of Emilie Grenung who brought the mirror from France. Rhoda's father was Isaac Thorpe, although I don't know her mother. Isaac was born in 1764 in New Jersey and died 1839 in Cortland County.,NY . Emilie Grenung very well might be the sister of Rhoda's mother. -----Original Message----- From: parker-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:parker-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of K Powell Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 2:35 AM To: parker@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PARKER] Parker/Thorpe No ma'am but the confluence of the time, place, Parker surname, Monmouth, and France sure does interest me.
