I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather John H. Parker and his brother James(Jim) Parker. They came to Sabine Co. in the early 1870's and in 1876 they married sisters. John married Margaret Jane Ferguson and Jim married Martha Ferguson. They were daughters of Olly Alexander and Bridget Frances (Johnson) Ferguson. Olly was the son of Olly Alexander Ferguson Sr. and Drucilla Cook. In the census John and James both say they were born in Georgia, James in 1844 and John in 1854. What I'm trying to do is find the county in Ga. they were born in. I've gone to Hemphill and looked in the courthouse for a death certificate for John, and there isn't one. I don't know the death date for James. I've talked to Mrs. Toole that runs the local history museum in the old jailhouse. She knows a great deal about my Ferguson line and some about these Parkers, but their Georgia connections are still a mystery. Any information anyone could give me on John and Jim would be greatly appreciated. Dale Parker dale@worldnetla.net
