notes

Nathaniel Parker 1724-1811 and his father John Parker who died in 1760 Hampshire County, VA. belongs to Parker yDNA Family Group #18

Catharine (Parker) Foreman 1765 Hampshire County, VA. deed of partition is the source that shows that Nathaniel Parker born 1724 (married Elizabeth Scott), Elizabeth Parker (married John Nalle, Aaron Parker (married Mary Molly Dobson), Robert Parker (married Hannah Peters), Richard Parker (married Mary Grissel Nalle), and Catharine Parker (married William Foreman) were siblings, and the children of the John Parker who died in 1760 Hampshire County, VA. Most trees that list the children of these siblings show their children (and grandchildren of the John Parker who died in 1760 Hampshire County, VA.) being born from the mid-1750s through the mid 1780s

Oral tradition for the Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) state that his father John Parker (abt. 1700-1760) migrated to Virginia from Pennsylvania not Essex County, VA / Old Rappahannock County, VA..

Subject of Wife of John Parker b. abt 1680 or later d. 1760 Hampshire Co VA Message 1 of 1 , Oct 21, 2005 We, as Parker descendants, have seen in many submissions to genealogy sites, the use of then name of "Elizabeth Taliaferro" as the wife of John Parker who was born about 1680 or later, and who died in Hampshire Co VA in Nov. 1760.

He left a will naming his wife as only "Elizabeth" and also named his six children -Richard, Elizabeth, Robert, Catherine, Nathanial, and Aaron and one grandson Thomas Parker to share equally with his children in his estate.

We are looking for anyone who can add info to or dispute this statement that Elizabeth Taliaferro, dtr of a Robert Taliaferro, was the woman whom John Parker married.

His wife is also seen in sites with maiden name of TANDY, BOND, GILES, and possibly one of two more surnames.

Thanks -Jim ( James Campbell Parker) 5th great grandson of John and "Elizabeth" Parker thru their son Robert and his wife Hannah Peters.
