    3. Hi, The historic marker AT FORT PARKERcalled them the "TWO SEED IN THE SPIRIT PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH" tHE fort is completely restored, complete with gun ports and mud and stick chimneys which sometimes caught fire if not checked often. Area Boy scouts are camping out there soon. Quannah Parker had great respect for his mother and her religion and Col. Charles Goodnight, who let him feed his people from his beef herd after the buffalo were killed. Moral Quandry- When Quannah Parker led his people to Oklahoima, he told his people to learn from the churches and schools of his mother's people and join whatever church they chose. He , for one, refused to join but attended and llowed his children to join. Missionaries told him he could have only have one wife. Since he had 2 or 3 wives , he said he was honor bound to care for all of them. One of his daughters married a Cox , an Indian agent, who had a brother at Johnsville, Texas, according to recent reports. %Take care Charles Wyly
