Hi Ted, You certainly may ask a question. Yes, the Hampshire Book does mention many Parkers back as far as 1750's. There is also a Fort Parker located on North River in Hampshire Cty at North River Mills. There are no Bruces or Redmans in this book. But another of my books on the Capon Valley of Hampshire Cty does mention the Bruces and no Redmans. I have to ask - What is your Redman grandfather-in-law's name? Another book on Old Frederick Cty. has Redman ( c.1750), Bruce and Parkers in it also. Ted, make sure - if you reply to my message that you click the "Reply All" button and share with the others on the two mailing lists. Thanks. Hope this helps you in digging up your lost grandfather.
