Surnames: Parker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FdB.2ACE/516 Message Board Post: William Parker b. 1775, met a violent death at the hands of tow or three men who robbed him and killed him. Would there have been a news story about that event, and if so, where would I go to get a copy of it? I want to find his ancestors, but I am stuck. Is there a York Genealogy Society or Historical society that might have information of this type? James
