I have found a Christopher Parker who died at the Alamo in Texas on March 16, 1836. The information comes from "The Handbook of Texas Online". I am interested in finding out if anyone can lay claim to this Parker, for he died in a noble cause. Christopher Adams Parker b. 1814, d. 1836 was the son of William and Hannah (Armstrong) Parker. He traveled from Natchez, Mississippi, to Texas. Parker was a decedent of the Sparrow family, English Quakers who had immigrated to Ireland during the Cromwell Protectorate. One of his Ancestors fought in Emmett's Rebellion and was expelled form Ireland. His grandfather, James Armstrong, served under George Washington at Valley Forge. His father was a veteran of the battle of New Orleans. Christopher Parker signed the controversial Goliad Declaration of Independence of December 20, 1835. He may or may not have been born in Mississippi. Thanks and let me know if this is anyone's ancestor. Sterling Parker, a native of Texas
