Hi everyone, I was sent these tidbits among others by Betty Mouzon Dunn. While it does not provide absolute proof of a theory many WCSC researchers have held for many years it does open the door. I am among many who felt the families of Willoughby, Isaac and Patrick Parker connect, (all early WCSC residents, bef 1815) and are possibly even brothers. Several clues have surfaced to support this. Here are a few more: Willoughby Parker to Alexander Cook for $100, 100 a, part of a tract of 11,500 a. granted to Robert Fullwood in 1791, situate between Lynches Lake and Black River, and bd. by Willoughby Parker, estate of William Parker, Ketuck Branch, and R. Feagin. Oct. 1832. Wit. Jesse Floyd, Rachel Parker, and James Folly. Rec'd 1 Jan. 1838. pg. 243 Willoughby Parker to Sarah Parker for $50, 250 a. being part of a tract of 857 a. granted William Parker in 1808 on Little Kingstree Swamp, said land to be divided between said Sarah and her brother Patrick Parker during their lives. Wit: Charles McAllister, Jr. and Robert A. Bradham. 8 Jan. 1828. Philip McCrea JQ Rec'd 6 Jan. 1838. I now believe William was the father of Willoughby, Isaac, and Patrick. The bottom reference mentions a sister, Sarah. With Betty's help I have added a father and a sister to my brick wall, thanks Betty. The William mentioned would have been born in NC abt 1770. He was believed to be married to a Sarah (McKenzie?) his son Willoughby b, NC 1792 m Mary McKenzie b abt 1792, dau of Daniel and Rebecca McKenzie. I would like to get some feedback from the group and any additional information on the possible connection of William, and the younger Parkers, and the McKenzie's of N&SC. I realize this is a long post, but this is an old brick wall, and it needs to fall. I have additional information for those interested. Dave daveoahu@aol.com
