Hi all, I'm new to this list, and wonder if any of you Parker researchers know anything about Caleb and/or Charles Nathaniel Parker in Maine and/or Wisconsin and Minnesota during the 1800s? I have Charles born in Cape Elizabeth, ME on April 5, 1806 and married to Olive Emerson on December 1, 1830 - probably in Bridgton, ME. Caleb was married to Olive's sister, Clarissa Emerson, in November 1831. I don't have info on Caleb and just can't help but wonder if Charles and Caleb were brothers - who married two sisters. Both families were in the Fond du Lac, WI area in the 1850s and later, Charles appeared in Brainerd, MN in the railroad business. Help please!

Lewis, In checking my Parker line, I found a Caleb Parker. He was from Maine in the late 1700s and probably lived into the 1800s. This Caleb Parker was a son of Samuel Parker and Huldah Emery. Caleb was born about 1782 in Berwich, York, Maine. His birth date and place are estimated. So, he could have been born somewhere else. Don't know who he was married to. He had a brother, William Parker who was born 21 Sep 1777 in Kittery, York, Maine. He died 7 Jul 1872 and was married to Basheba Roby. He had a sister, Rhoda Parker, born about 1794 in Berwick, York, Maine. She was married to Elijah Emery. He had another brother, Samuel Parker (my 3rd Great Grandfather). Samuel was born 7 Apr 1790 in Berwick, York, Maine and died 29 Dec 1846 in Council Bluffs, Pott, Iowa (on his way to Salt Lake City with the Mormon pioneers). He was married to Hannah Edgecomb, born in 1784 in Parsonfield, York, Maine. His daughter, Mary Jane Parker is my 2nd Great Grandmother. She and her husband Thomas Butterfield came out to Utah and settled in the Salt Lake valley in about 1850. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. Caleb had the following other brothers and sisters and I know very little about them: Olive Parker, born about 1780 Ruth Parker, born about 1792 Reubin Parker, born about 1796 My information shows all of the children of Samuel Parker and Huldah Emery being born in Berwich, York, Maine, except for William (the oldest), born in Kittery, York, Maine. Berwich and Kittery are about 20 miles apart, down near Portsmith New Hampsire, just across the borner into Maine. Caleb's father, Samuel Parker was born 2 Dec 1745 in Newcastle, Lincoln, Maine. Caleb's mother, Huldah Emery was born 9 Feb 1755 in Kittery, York, Maine They were married 1 Jul 1776 in Berwich, York, Maine. My 2nd Great Grandfather, Thomas Butterfield (husband of Mary Jane Parker, a niece of Caleb Parker) was born in Farmington, Kennebec, Maine in 1811. Farmington is about 100 miles north of Bridgton and about 130 miles north west of Cape Elizabeth. Cape Elizabeth (birthplace of your Charles Nathaniel Parker) is about 30 miles north and east of Kittery and Berwich. Bridgton is about 100 miles north of Kittery and Berwich. I would be very surprised if our Parker families are not related. My records do not show a brother to Caleb named Charles Nathaniel. Could it be that they were cousins? I need to do some more research. I have been receiving email from this Parker list and you are the first one that may have a connection to my line. We have traced this Parker line back three more generations to a Benjamin Parker who was born in about 1680 and lived in the NewCastle, Maine area. The family ended up down in the southern end of Maine (Kittery and Berwich). I suspect Benjamin Parker came from England, but have no evidence of that. Caleb's line goes: Caleb Parker abt 1782 Samuel Parker 2 Dec 1745 Benjamin Parker 29 Jul 1713 Benjamin Parker abt 1680 There are lots and lots of Parkers. Do you have any other information about this Parker line that might help tie these families together?

Hello Vee, I have a PARKER line that may/could be connected to your line. My Francis PARKER bn. abt. 1837 sailed from Mystic, CT and shipwrecked off the coast of Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Bahamas. It seems he settled there and married Jane Newbold and they had at least two children, William Henry Parker, b.1857 and Sarah Parker. They then emigrated to Key West, FL. I do not know from where Francis Parker was born. He could have been from Maine. I was told he and his son William had New England accents. Just because he sailed from Mystic, Ct. does not mean he lived there or was born there. Hoping you can make a connection to your family.
