My line is Silas, b 1804 marr Nancy ? (some have Jones). Their son Silas was b 1847 and marr Fannie Brown so there is a 3rd Silas! My line is through the daughter of Silas and Nancy, Nancy Elizabeth who marr John Adam Duke. I am hoping Joe is hinting about information concerning Silas, b 1804 - still not a brother to Isaiah? Come on Joe, do tell!

Silas of 1804 is the brother of Isaiah b.1810, sons of Thomas b. c1783, g/s of Isaiah b. c1745. Isaiah 1745 also had a son Isaiah, b. c1785. This Parker family had a very small list of names from which to choose!! Again, check my d/b at http://dfc.cc for more detail. > My line is Silas, b 1804 marr Nancy ? (some have Jones). JONES looks good, but as stated previously, giving birth at 51 stretches credibility here. I think there was an earlier wife. Linda, your thots on this pls. Joe

Linda and Joe (et al), Okay, if this is wrong, straighten me out (if you can and don't mind?), Josiah Parker, b. @1804 Woodbury, Cannon Co. TN, marr. Nancy Jones, b. @1805. They had a son, Samuel, b. @1827, d. by 7 Nov., 1859 <DOD source: early court records in the Coffee Co., TN archives; Robert McGuire was appt. administrator of Samuel's estate. Samuel married Mary Ann McGuire b. 1827 (Robert's sister) sometime prior to 1850 (oldest child, Eliza, is age 11 in 1860 census, but not in HH in 1850 census>. Samuel and Mary Ann (McGuire) Parker had Eliza (Ann?), b. 1849, John b. 1852, Joseph b. 1856, and Silas b. 1859 (DOB estimates from census records). Is my earliest data on these Parkers wrong (Josiah and Nancy)? Silas Parker, son of Samuel and Mary Ann (McGuire) Parker married Anna Belle Prater in 1883 of Rutherford Co., TN; they had 10 children. My connection to these families is through he Coffee Co., TN McGuire family. Some of this data is from Heritage of Coffee Co., TN, 1836-2004, p.316. Other sources, where mentioned, are from my research. Thanks! Greg
