Family lore states my Dolly Parker had a brother named Amasa and I think he'd have fought in the Revolution - a reason to specifically have a memory association with her brother's name. That may make him a little older than her birth date given as 2 Oct 1757. I'm going to guess he may have been born CT and may likely have fought at Monmouth NJ 1778. Dolly's father's house was somewhere near that 1778 battlefield. To help me get an idea who she was, can anyone identify an Amasa Parker this general time and place, please? I have good enough reason to believe the family lore. 1) According to a Delaware County NY local history, a younger (Col) Amasa Parker b abt 1788 (too young to be her brother) resided in Delaware Co where Dolly (Mrs John Cook) lived. Col Parker's nephew Amasa Junius Parker b abt 1807, son of his brother (Rev) Daniel, was a judge and later Justice of NY State Supreme Court. The 2 would seem to be nephew &c of Dolly. These Parkers came from Litchfield Co, CT. 2) Cook children named for Amasa Parker. Kaye in Texas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
