    1. Parker's Landing
    2. Phil Fleming
    3. My great-grandparents were married in "Parker's Landing" which I believe to be in Venango County, but can't find it. Can anybody help? My Great-Grandparents were John Joseph Fleming and Mary Gordon Bracken Fleming. Here is the information I have, taken from my great-grandmother's obituary in the Burlington (Iowa) Hawk-Eye, January 27, 1947: "Mrs. Fleming, the former Mary Bracken, was born Feb. 13, 1862, in Parker's Landing, Pa., the daughter of Patrick and Mary Esther Bracken, and was educated at Loretto academy, Loretto, Pa. Her father was a railroad contractor, built some lines of the Pennsylvania railroad, and operated extensively in the development of oil fields in his home state. She met John J. Fleming while visiting in Burlington, and they were married in Parker's Landing May 15, 1884, and came here to make their home." I can't find Parker's Landing on the map, and wonder if it still exists today, or if the place name has been changed. Also, what would be the name of the local Roman Catholic Church where they were married? Any help greatly appreciate. Thanks. -- Phil Philip B.
