Robertson. >> The research that I've conducted over the years on my Parker line is that Nathaniel married Mary Ramsey Bledsoe when she was pregnant, but Nathaniel was not the father. The wording in his will intimates this. I understand, also, that notices were posted in the Knoxville, TN newspapers whereby Nathaniel denied all responsibility for her debts. All this occurred in preparation for divorce proceedings.
