Do you happen to have any additional information on Samuel Parker or Hannah Lee's families? Or leads to where I might find more information? I believe that Samuel Parker's parent is Hawley Parker per the 1850 Chesterfield County Census. I am trying to determine whether the child of Hawley Parker, also named Hawley and listed in the 1850 census as male, might actually be female and the Hawley who shows up in the 1860 census as a female m. to James Lee, living next door to William and Elizabeth Lee. Per the 1850 census, William and Elizabeth Lee appear to be Hannah's parents. I came across a genforum posting indicating that the Hawley m. to James Lee was indeed Samuel's (sister?) Hawley Parker. It seems an awfully big coincidence for the name Hawley in a place the size of Chesterfield County SC. I have also seen a possibility that a Hawley (surname unknown) was the wife of George A Parker Jr., son of George A. Parker and Easter Brock. Now this is a family tree posted on the web with no documentation, so I take it with several grains of salt, but wondered, especially in conjunction with the question above, if the census taker just wrote this one down wrong? If Hawley was female, it would be more consistent with a daughter being named Hawley and the fact that there was no occupation listed for the Hawley Parker parent of Samuel. Since the 1850 census is the first to list all family names, this question becomes even more important as I try to determine the name of the head of household to search for. (the youngest child listed in the 1850 census was age two so both spouses should have been alive in 1840). I didn't find a Hawley Parker in the 1860 census for Chesterfield Co. which leads me to the following possibilities: Hawley died; Hawley moved out of Chesterfield Co.! ; Hawley was really female and remarried someone in Chesterfield Co.(though a little less likely as I tried to find anyone with the first name Hawley and only came up the the Hawley m. James Lee who is *much* too young). Actually the Hawley child of Hawley Parker question is a puzzle to me, but not in direct line. I am comfortable with Hawley Parker b. abt 1802 in SC as Samuel Parker's parent (though I need to find out if I should list as mother or father), but am trying to find the name of the spouse, and of this Hawley's family.
