Many of my genealogy friends in Tennessee suggested I contact these lists, that Tennessee was rich with Parkers. Would appreciate any help. I have been searching my Parkers for a while now but just can't seem to get past Memphis, Tn. orphanages and Board of Education with them. I strongly believe my Parkers lived in Madison, Hardeman, Gibson , Tipton and Shelby County TN. mid 1800s to abt 1930. I suspect and some evidence points their migration in TN. to Madison Co.,Lake Co.,Kerrville, near Millington TN. Shelby Co., north of Memphis around 1910-1920. My uncle William (Bill) was a baker/butcher for the Montesi Food Stores in Memphis before his death sometime between 1960 and 1980. There were four boys, Robert H. who lived in Pueblo, Co. 1950s, Luther L. who lived near Dallas, Tx. 1960s & 70s, William who lived near Memphis and Paul C. who died in Memphis 1983, and one girl Anne Ruth that also lived in Memphis, Tn. The mother was LuEmma Jane Kuykendall and father William Albert Parker. My father Paul C. and mother Ruby Lee married in Marion Co., AR. abt 1940 and dad gave an address on his reenlistment papers for the Marines as RR2 Arlington Rd., Little Rock ,AR. 1948. Seems part of the family moved to AR. The names Robert, William are prevalent in this line, dads children from his second marriage also had these names. What data I have, I will gladly share. Hope there is something of interest. 1 Robert William Parker or William H.
