Surnames: Parker Brown Hanks Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.parker/14173/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thomas Coke Parker, b. Dec 1827 in Pennsylvania (possibly Philadelphia area) - parents, brothers/sisters unknown. Thomas possibly moved to Sangamon County, Ill before heading to Oregon in 1853 (possibly with Jonathan Bosier Brown m Sarah Hanks and family). Thomas settled in Roseburg, Douglas Co, OR, married Emily Brown, then moved to Pajaro (Santa Cruz County CA), then finally to Santa Barbara, CA. Thomas' children include Thomas Coke (Jr.), Andrew Jackson, Joshua B., Bosier B., William (C or H), Sarah E., Peter Franklin, Nancy Catherine, Francis M., Henry W. and Flora Adair (and possibly Irene Evelyn). Thomas died 1903, wife after, but before 1910. Any help greatly appreciated - happy to share what I have too :)
