Jan Here is an outline of what I have on the John William Parker you asked about. I have found what appears to be at least four different groups of Parkers in the Shelby and San Augustine County area. So far, I have not been able to establish a family connection between these different groups, but I am working on it. Happy rooting!!! Doyle T.
