Notes for Nathaniel Parker, sometimes known as Ensign Nathaniel Parker:


Nathaniel and his wife Bethiah Polley Parker had at least 15 children, all born in Reading (pronounced RED-ing). Except where specified, every birth, marriage and death mentioned on this page happened in Reading:

1) Bethia/Bethiah Parker, born July 23, 1678. She died October first.

2) Nathaniel Parker, born December 4, 1679. He married Elizabeth Wright on October 6, 1702, in Andover, Massachusetts. The couple had at least nine children. Elizabeth Parker died October 22, 1754.

3) Jonathan Parker, but apparently not the Jonathan Parker born July 18, 1681, who was the son of Ensign Nathaniel Parker's brother John. Unless, after John died when his son Jonathan was 16 or 17, possibly Ensign Nathaniel decided to adopt his teenaged nephew Jonathan. Jonathan Parker died after the date of Nathaniel's last will, which was March 19, 1728. As of this writing, Jonathan is not among other people's online listings of Nathaniel's children. But "my Son Jonathan Parker" written in Nathaniel's will (photo below) proves that Jonathan existed, whether he was a biological or adopted son.

4) Stephen Parker, born June 14, 1684. He died November 6th of that year.

5) Bethia/Bethiah Parker, born September 6, 1685. She married Ebenezer Emerson on May 27, 1707.

Mrs. Bethia/Bethiah Emerson died June 30, 1715, at the age of 29. Ebenezer died in October of 1751.

6) Susannah Parker (apparently also known as Sarah) born December 6 or 29, 1687. She married Joseph Underwood on May 27, 1707. The couple had at least 13 children, born in Chelmsford and Westford, Massachusetts. Joseph died January 29, 1761, in Westford. Susannah Underwood died February 18, 1769, in Groton, Massachusetts.

7) Ebenezer Parker, born December 28, 1689. He married Mercy Damon on April 6, 1714. They had four children. Mercy Parker died December 4, 1725, at the age of 30. Ebenezer married Ruth Swan on April 6, 1726. Ebenezer married Anna Davies on October 25, 1749. Ebenezer Parker died about 1779, in Putney, Vermont.

8) Stephen Parker, born April 21, 1692. He married Elizabeth Batchelder on April 29, 1713. They had at least eight children. Stephen Parker died in 1749, in Leominster, Massachusetts.

9) Caleb Parker, born February 22, 1693/94. He died after the date of his father's last will, which was March 19, 1728.

10) Timothy Parker, born February 24, 1695/96. He married Mary Scarborough on September 8, 1818, in Roxbury, Massachusetts, which is now a part of Boston. The couple had at least nine children. Timothy Parker died after July of 1735, and before June 20, 1737, in Roxbury. Mary died in May of 1778, in Roxbury.

11) Obadiah Parker, born January 13, 1697. He married Hannah Stevens on December 26, 1724, in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. They had at least
12 children. "Ensign" Obadiah Parker died September 29, 1758, in Groton. Hannah Parker married "Captain" Ephraim Sawtell on September 30, 1762, in Groton. Hannah Sawtell died October 7, 1775, in Mason, New Hampshire. "Ensign" Obadiah Parker's FindAGrave memorial includes a photo of his grave marker:

14) Amy Parker, born November 8, 1702. She married Stephen Richardson in 1728, at an unknown place. They had at least 10 children, all born in Billerica, Massachusetts. The couple's dates and places of death are unknown.

15) Phineas Parker, born September 27, 1704. More about him is in this chart.
-
Nathaniel Parker was, for a time, an officer in the Reading Infantry Company. Even after his service ended, he was commonly referred to as Ensign Nathaniel Parker. The main purpose of having fighting men form the Reading Infantry Company was to protect the white people from the Indians.

In modern times, an ensign is the junior commissioned officer rank in the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. But before 1800, there were officer ranks such as ensign in infantry companies, militias, and the U.S. Army.

State and local militia rules varied at the time Nathaniel Parker was an ensign. But typically, an ensign would be the lowest rank of commissioned officer, below lieutenant and above the non-commissioned rank of sergeant. So an ensign back then would be comparable to a 2nd lieutenant in today's army.

Nathaniel was a selectman of Reading, during five years.

(1761 FHC MF # 0186355) Robert Parker was executor.

"Fort John Parker" from "Frontier Forts Along the Potomas and ItsTributaries" by William H. Answel, Jr. Exerpts: "This defense was located on Lot #44 of the Fairfax South Branch survey...two and one half miles southeast of Springfield, West Virginia..
On November 9, 1756, the "fort at Parker's on the South Branch" was included with the list of defenses extending across the Virginia frontier, and it was stated to be ten miles from Ashby's fort on Patterson's Creek and was garrisoned with thirty men.
On June 13, 1756, while at Fort Cumberland, Washington wrote to Captain Robert McKenzie ordering him to instruct Lieutenant Neugent of the King George militia to immediately proceed with his command to John Parker's on the South Branch and while there, not only protect the inhabitants about the fort but to also assist them in harvesting their crops...
Fort Parker was named for John Parker, the owner of the real estate upon which it was constructed, he having purchased Lot #44 consisting of 350 acres from Thomas Lord Fairfax on July 24, 1749..The foundation stones supporting the buildings can still be seen at the location. About 200 feet north of the fort is an ancient cemetery, the graves marked with native stone, but without inscriptions of any kind. The persons buried there are unknown. It may have been a Parker family cemetery and John Parker, the early settler might be interred therein. The since the gravestones are unmarked, it could well have been a burial ground for the Parker family slaves.
Indians were in the vicinity of this fort on several occasions during the war. In September, 1756, Ensign Charles Smith of the Sixth Company of the Virginia Regiment, while on a scout with twelve men on the south Branch and in the vicinity of Fort Parker, encountered a band of Indians and after a short skirmish, one savage was killed and Smith's men captured several scalping knives, together with four French muskets.
John Parker died in 1760 before the Indian troubles were over. He left surviving his wife, Elizabeth, who later married Thomas McGuire; four sons, Robert, Richard, Nathanial and Aaron; two daughters, Elizabeth, who married John Hall (sic) and Catherine, who married William Forman."
Mineral Co. library - family sketch - John Parker comes from England in 1749. The writer confuses John and Elizabeth with a later John Parker, wife Mary, who sold land and bought after 1761. States that Catherine was the daughter of John and Elizabeth
Martha Redford papers - Johnson Co. Historical Society. States that John Parker was the owner of 2821 acres in Hampshire County, VA and also several slaves.

Notes:

Richard Parker born abt. 1723 most likely in Virginia; died Feb. 1799 Washington County, KY.; married Grissel Nalle prior to August 16, 1763 Culpepper County, VA. (date of deed in Culpeper County, VA. from Richard Parker and Grissel his wife) (Grissel (Grezzell) is the Welch word for Grace) [18] The 1782 Culpeper Co. VA tax record lists Richard Parker (in Kentucky), so Richard Parker migrated by/before 1782 to Kentucky. Richard Parker on 21 May 1788 received a 93 1/2 acre land grant on Beech Fork at the mouth of Cartrights Creek in Nelson County, Virginia (now Kentucky)..[25] Also see National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form. At a meeting of the Nelson County Court, Oct 10, 1788, Richard Parker was security for the goods and Chattels of Abraham Lincoln, grandfather to the President. A petition to establish a 'Warehouse and Inspection Point for Produce' on the land of Richard Parker at the mouth of Cartwright's Creek, Nelson County, Kentucky on Oct. 24, 1789 by Richard Parker.[24] Richard Parker on 18 March 1790 received a 660 acre land grant on Parkers Run a south branch of Cartrights Creek in Nelson County, Virginia (now Kentucky). (area near Fredericktown, Washington County, Kentucky). DAR Ancestor # A203385.

On the 15 Aug 1755 Richard Parker and Grissel his wife sold 91 acres of land in Culpeper Co. VA. to Richard Shipp. [Culpeper Co., VA DB. E, p. 12] (FamilySearch) This land indenture was not recorded until 15 Aug 1763 due to frontier troubles caused by the French & Indian War 1754-63 but it shows that Richard Parker and his wife Grissel had owned land in Culpeper Co. VA. about the time of the above Frederick Co., VA. law suit. This deed is followed in sequence on page 15 by a 1765 land indenture between John Nalle and Elizabeth (Parker) his wife selling land in Culpeper Co. VA. to Benjamin Rowe.

7 Feb 1785 - Richard Parker granted 200 acres beginning on the north side of the Beech Fork waters of Salt River about 100 pooles above the mouth of Sunfish Run. (Library of Virginia)

Notes:

Biography
The earliest document record of a Nathaniel Parker being the father of Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee and the Elder John Parker is from page 16 of the 1934 book The History of the Daughhetee's. It's unknown whether the above referenced confusion of the Nathaniel Parker of Sumner Co. TN. as the father was already occurring. If so, then Nathaniel Parker as the father may be a red herring and the early Baltimore County, MD. records need to be searched for the parents of the Elder John Parker, Daniel Parker, Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee, Arron Parker.....

Per the Elder John Parker's 1833 Coles Co., IL Revolutionary War pension application he was born 6 Sept 1758 in Baltimore Co., MD., so his mother and father were residing in Baltimore Co., MD as of 1758. By 1777 the family of the Elder John Parker was residing in Culpeper Co., VA. when he served his first 12 months in his revolutionary war militia unit, and another 12 month tour in 1779. The Elder John Parker's eldest son Daniel Parker was born 5 Apr. 1781 in Culpeper Co., VA. per a biography referenced below. Culpeper Co., VA. (#5 on 1751 map) is roughly 125 miles from Patterson Creek, Ft. Ashby, Hampshire Co., VA. (#6 on 1751 map) where the Nathaniel Parker and his father John Parker of Parker yDNA FG#18 were concurrently living. Roughly three days of traveling by a horse each way.

Per the University of Tennessee yDNA website for Parker yDNA Family Group #5 the oldest known ancestor was Elisha Parker born 1630 England, died 1717 Woodbridge, Middlesex County, N.J. (#1 on 1751 map) Then in the next county south is a Thomas Parker born 1737 Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J. and died in 1832 Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J. There's also George Parker who died in Worcestor (now Wicomico) Co., MD (#2 on 1751 map) in 1770 in southeast Maryland. The distance from Middlesex Co., N.J. to Worcestor Co., MD. may mean that these were two separate points of emigration for Parker yDNA FG#5 into the colonies. Given the proximity of Middlesex Co., N.J. (#1 on map) to Philadelphia, PA (#3 on 1751 map) and the Great Wagon Road west to Baltimore Co., MD.(#4 on 1751 map), the Middlesex Co., N.J. Parker's may be the origin point to the colonies for the Elder John Parker and his siblings ancestors.

Per the Elder John Parker's pension application, he resided in Culpeper Co., VA. (#5 on 1751 map) as of the time he entered Revolutionary War service. The Elder John Parker's son Daniel Parker, Daniel was born in 1781 Culpeper Co., VA, migrated with his parents to Elbert Co. GA. in 1785. then to Franklin Co., Georgia where Daniel Parker was baptized, then in June 1803 started the trek to Turnbull Creek, Dickson Co., TN. The Elder John Parker's brother Daniel Parker also migrated from Georgia to Dickson Co. TN and was the first preacher at the Turnbull Primitive Baptist Church in 1806.

Birth

It's unproven if the Elder John Parker's father Nathaniel Parker was ever in Hampshire County, VA. (#6 on 1751 map).

The 1730 and 1803 dates found in most family trees for the Elder John Parker's father Nathaniel Parker were taken from Jay Guy Cisco's 1909 Book 'Historic Sumner County, TN. but those dates apply to Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) commonly stated to have been born 1730 and died 1803 in Cisco's book of Parker yDNA Family Group #18 who was previously merged with the Nathaniel Parker who may have married Ann Clayton as stated in this profile.

If the 1934 'The Daughhetee Family of Estill County, Kentucky' is correct in that Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee's father was a Nathaniel Parker, and if the Elder John Parker's father migrated to Baltimore County, MD. from the Middlesex County, N.J. area, then research should focus there. See Parker Heritage discussion.

Marriage

There is a 1919 Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Vol. 53, R.R. Bowker Company, page 575 query for a John Parker as the son of Nathaniel Parker and his wife, Ann Clayton, but it does not say he is the Elder John Parker. This query says she's supposed to be a daughter of John Clayton and Elizabeth Whiting of Gloucester Co., VA. John Clayton was born in England, 1685, and died in Gloucester Co., Va. 1773. He was an eminent botanist and had a botanical garden on his estate, which he called "Windsor". He married Elizabeth Whiting, 1723, and had several sons and daughters.

A 1924 DAR Lineages book on page 104 shows Nathaniel Parker and Ann Clayton were the parents of the John Parker born 17 Dec 1755 & died after 1801 of King & Queen County, VA. That John Parker had been listed by the DAR as the son of the Nathaniel Parker who migrated from Hampshire Co. VA. to Sumner Co. TN.., but that has been disproved, and the DAR states he is not this mans son. The Nathaniel Parker of Sumner County, TN's son John Parker 1765-1831 has been proved (2 sources) to have migrated to Shelby County, KY where he died in 1831.

Generally daughters married in the county that their parents lived in, so if that holds, then their daughter Ann Clayton married in Gloucester Co., VA. Gloucester Co. , VA is roughly 170 miles away from Baltimore Co. MD. where the Elder John Parker per his 1833 Coles County, IL. Revolutionary War pension application was born. This raises the question of whether two different Ann Claytons have been merged over time. One in Baltimore County, MD. and the other in Gloucester Co., VA.

Children

Using Wikipedia's female fertility chart and Ann Clayton's estimated birth year of 1726, then she would have been able to bear children between 1744 and 1771. Any child associated with her after 1771 is statistically unlikely to be a child of Ann Clayton.

Children currently assigned to this Nathaniel Parker are:

01 Daniel Parker born 15 Mar 1750 (Baltimore Co., MD. ??); died bef. 6 Apr 1818 Dickson Co., TN.
02 Elder John Parker born 6 Sep 1758 Baltimore County, MD. per his 22 Oct 1833 Coles County, IL Revolutionary War Pension application. Died 6 Sep 1836 Fort Parker, TX.
03 Susannah Parker born btwn. 1762-64; died 1816 Estill County, KY.; married John Haughhetee, Estill County, KY. abt. 1781. Her first child, Rachel was born 12 July 1782. See the 1934 book The Daughhetee Family of Estill County, Kentucky.
04 Aaron Parker born by/before 1770 Baltimore Co. MD.; died 1833 Copiah County, Mississippi

Other children confused as to belong to Parker yDNA Family Group #5, but actually belong to other Parker yDNA Family Groups are:

01 Moses Parker born 26 Aug 1744; died 12 Nov 1830 Marlboro Co., S.C. belongs to Parker yDNA Family Group #7
02 Thomas Parker born 8 Jan 1757, died 18 Dec 1819 (will dated 1810) Sumner Co. TN.; married Juda Renfro. He belongs to Parker yDNA FG #15.
03 John Parker born abt. 1760 died 1825 Sumner Co. TN.; married Rhoda Renfro. He belongs to Parker yDNA FG#15.

And several of the children of Nathaniel Parker 1724-1811 of Parker yDNA FG#18 who died at Greenfield, Sumner Co., TN. with burial near the old Fort Morgan, specifically Susannah Parker 1765-1803 (married Charles Beeler), John Parker 1765-1831(married 1st Mary Rogers, 2nd Sarah Collier), Elizabeth Parker 1766-aft 1826 (married Michael Collier), Thomas Parker 1768-1846 (married Susan Rogers), Richard Parker 1770-1838 (married Nancy Rogers), Nathaniel Parker 1775-1857 (married 1st Sally Ramsey, 2nd Lucretia Penny), Isaac Parker 1776-1846 (married Agnes Bartlet), Mary Parker 1779-1828 (married William Thompson), Aaron Parker 1781-1804 and Robert Parker 1783-1870 (married Martha 'Patsy' Martin).

Death

The only Will for a Nathaniel Parker in Sumner County, TN is the will of the Nathaniel Parker 1724-1811 in Parker yDNA Family Group #18 who died after June of 1811. The only other documents in the will/probate records section related to Nathaniel Parker is a 1790 Power of Attorney for the purchase of land, and a 1803 Bond record for Nathaniel Parker, Jr. 1775-1857 of Parker yDNA Family Group #18 to be a constable. This suggests that the Nathaniel Parker in Parker yDNA Family Group # 5 died elsewhere.

A search of the Georgia Archives 'Virtual Vault' finds no records for a Nathaniel Parker in their records, so if the Nathaniel Parker in this profile was the father of the Elder John Parker 1758-1836 and his siblings, he died before the migration to Georgia from Culpeper Co., VA., or he migrated elsewhere.

Nathaniel married Ann Marie CLAYTON about 1744 in Culpepper County, Virginia. Ann (daughter of John CLAYTON and Elizabeth Catherine WHITING) was born on 1 Jan 1726 in Glouchester County, Virginia; died in Jan 1790 in Hampshire County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
