Hi Elaine and others who may be interested, Several months ago I visited the Hampshire Co. Courthouse and copied ALL the PARKER Wills available there. I asked about the "Basement Reocrds". The Clerk did provide me with a copy of all the PARKER Wills, Administrative Bonds, Appraisals and Sales, Orphan Acc'ts. Appointment of Guardians, Wills & Probates, etc. which were listed as being in the "Basement Records". She also provided me with the an Address in Charleston of where to write to obtain copies of these documents. At this time, I don't know if they are available by writing Charleston and requesting copies of these Lost Records. Has anyone written Charleston and actually received copies of any of these Documents??? Seems some listed would be of great help in my PARKER research. And in case someone has come across PARKER in their Lines. I am looking for data of ROBERT PARKER d. 1817, he also left a Will in Allegany Co. Maryland, naming wife--MARY, Children; BENJAMIN (m: 3 times---Mary Fichtner/Victor, 2nd; Rachel Ward, 3rd; Sarah Elizabeth Nixon), ROBERT, JR. (may have married Peggy Miller in 1819), NANCY, m; John Anderson, SARAH, WILLIAM, and MARY MARGARET "Polly" Parker, (m; 1st Frederick Sapp (d. 1817) m; 2nd; Thomas J. Porter in 1819 Allegany Co.MD. but they moved to Knox Co. Ohio in early 1820's) Would love to hear from anyone with PARKER information or those intermarried with Parkers. Also, if anyone has written and received copies of those "Basement Records" from Charleston, WV. ???? Thanks for any help, suggestions and directions, it is truly appreciated. Pat Hook
