Cheraw Thomas Parker of Dan River - Building this family

"Chief of Churrah" Thomas Parker had two separate trees, they have now been made one

Lloyd Alfred Doss, Jr. I believe this was the pending merge you noted.

I will be adding notes received by mail

Nimeetha “Mitha” Parker, Piqua Shawnee may belong in this tree

I connect at Elizabeth Parker so I’m going to work on validating that profile

Cool, I hope we can use those findings in the Geni tree

Started a discussion on https://www.geni.com/discussions/177341?msg=1196562 to ask our Catawba buddies. We collaborate with all the Eastern NA groups via a Non-Profit Charity to preserve the Eastern NA and help them get state and federally recognized.

A little bit of background reading I did last night to familiarize myself

In 1752, a Thomas Parker was granted land on Tabb's Creek adjoining lands of William Eaton and William Chavis, another individual who seems to have been of partial Indian ancestry. There are still Parkers of Indian descent living in that area near the town of Kittrell.

What I’m not seeing is interaction with Shawnee & Straight Tails

History of the old Cheraws: containing an account of the aborigines of the Pedee, the first white settlements, their subsequent progress, civil changes, the struggle of the revolution, and growth of the country afterward; extending from about A.D. 1730 to 1810, with notices of families and sketches of individuals

Well, that 's the thing, The Shawnee were all over and their name derivation turned into Chowan. My Old Cheraws go back for ages and ages with the Chowan/Shawnee/Shownan/ Tchimachoan/ Kilmachionan Town...at Tazewell, Va.

She has a home with Richard Parker, Old Cheraw. . . . it is proper to link her there.

Do we have a citation for it?

Not for her specifically, just for the Shawnee name derivation.
It is ok if not linked; but, if she is a Parker in the area of the Dan, she would at least be a partner, sister, daughter or aunt to some line of chiefs of the Dan Parker's if she is a Parker named Shawnee.

Right, but we don’t have any valid citations for her names so far, just the listing under her father on the Wikipedia page without good sources to even back up that name.

So it looks like we should just leave her be for now?

yes
