GGG-Grandparents: The only documentation I can find on them is their names, (from death certificates and tombstones of their children), and estimated birth and death dates, (from census data). Children were linked through the same sources.

JONATHAN PARKER
born: 1800-1810 in NC
died: aft. 1880.

-Some researchers have JONATHAN as the son of Joseph and Lucinda Prescott PARKER. Other researchers have put him with the John PARKER of Edgecombe County. So far, I haven't found anything to prove or disprove either as his parents.
-In the 1880 census there was a Cindy[age35] listed with JONATHAN and CLARKEY, this could be a nickname for Lucinda or another child.
-In 1850 & 1860 this family was in Johnston County. In 1870 they were in the Mingo Township of Sampson County. And back in Johnston County in 1880, living in the Meadow Township.
-Jonathan and Clarkey were born in either Johnston County or Sampson County, (birth places stated for them on some of their childrens death certificates.)

Brenda PARKER

Brenda,

I am Brody's nephew, oldest son of Charles & Faye. I attended the William Franklin Parker and Sarah Wood Parker family reunion outside of Benson, NC, just yesterday; perhaps you were there. I'd be interested in sharing information on our common ancestry. I grew up with some of Brody and Medie's children. Please email me at parkersinmd@comcast.net. Looking forward to hearing from you.
