Message Board Post:
Happy to see your post on this message board, I'm hoping it will help clear up some
errors I see all the time in trees with Dr. Parker. I have visited your tree in the past
and would like to point out that you have the parents of Dr. Parker listed as William
Parker and Sarah Lastinger. While William is his father, it would be impossible for Sarah
to be his mother. Sarah married William and gave birth to a son named William about
1804-1805. She died soon afterwards. According to the John Lastinger book they know of
only this one son being born to Sarah and that is William . Your tree lists her death as
1804 and Dr. Parker's birth as 1819. Additionally, you have children listed for her
that were born when she was only three years old. I've been researching the first
William Parker extensively and it appears that he was married before Sarah to someone
else. He was twenty-two years her senior, so this makes sense. As far as I can tell now,
his first wife was Sarah Weaver. Their!
daughter Mary Parker married Sarah Lastinger's brother Andrew. I would be interested
to know where you found the names of Williams other children, since you do have Mary
listed, it appears to be a good source. I'm interested because you have a Henry Parker
listed b. 1785. This would give more evidence that William's father was Henry Parker,
an early President of the Province of Georgia. William's father is still in dispute.
Thanks, look forward to any insights from anyone.
