    3. Good Morning Hermon, Thank you for your reply. Yes, some of my Parkers did migrate to Knox Co. Ohio with Durbins, Logsdons, etc. in early 1800's. My Robert Parker, Durbins, Logsdons, were all found living in the area Westward of Fort Cumberland in late 1700's in area called Wills Town. Drucilla Sapp d/o M.M. "Polly" Parker Sapp & Frederick Sapp, married WILLIAM MAGERS/MAJORS in Ohio. Their daughter HENRIETTA MAGERS m; GEORGE BAYARD PARKER--(my gg-grandparents) in Knox Co. Ohio in 1844. George married a cousin. My gr-grandfather JOHN THOMAS PARKER b. May 1847.in Knox Co. George & Henrietta Magers/Majors returned to Allegany Co.MD. ca 1850 when John T. Parker was about 17 months old. (Per; Johns Obit) A cousin or sister to William Magers/Majors married MESHACK FROST, the Founding family of FROSTBURG, MD. This explains why my grandmother spoke of us as being related to the Founders of Frostburg. Frostburg is where my PARKER family lived. Recently found that Factor HUGH PARKER recruited THOMAS CRESAP to join him in Ohio Company. Seems to have been a joint ownership of Land in Washington Co. MD. between a GEORGE PARKER & HUGH PARKER. But Hugh died in 1751 leaving his Estate to 3 nephews, JOHN, THOMAS & WILLIAM FROHOCK. The 3 Frohock boys migrated to NC. The mother of the 3 nephews was ELIZABETH PARKER FROHOCK, a sister to HUGH PARKER. No brothers were mentioned in HUGH PARKER's Will. But friend, Col Thomas Cresap,Frederick Co. MD. and Jeremiah Warder, merchant, of Philadelphia were listed as Executors of Hugh Parkers Will. Could GEORGE PARKER who married ANN MAJORS be the PARKER's who owned the Land at PATTERSONS CREEK??? Found in Land Deeds & Wills of Hampshire Co., that their son BENJAMIN b 1723 in Hampshire Co. m; Margaret THORNTON. A couple of Benjamin and Margarets 5 children are listed as being born in Middletown, MD.(that would be Washington Co. MD today) --namely: JAMES PARKER and ELIZABETH PARKER, the other 2 children, George and Absolem Parker being born in Hampshire Co. WV. Trying to find how and if my ROBERT PARKER fit in with these PARKERS? Thanks for your data of the SAPP FAMILY being in Oldtown, MD. This is another Link that would possibly place my WMD. PARKER's in Oldtown or Hampshire Co. WV area. Any help in sorting out this delemma is greatly appreciated. Take Care Pat Hook
