Judith - Thank you for the information about Heman and Maria Parker. I have that line,

Farmer
Born: Grove
Father: Hermon Parker, born Unknown
Mother: Austia Grey, born Nunda, New York (they have his wife's name down instead of
his mothers)
Buried: Union Cemetery, Dalton, New York."
There is a Snyder Farm Cemetery in Grove on the same road as the "Old German
Settlement Cemetery". I have to wait for warmer weather to go visiting, but Rachel
Augustia Parker (James's wife) is buried there.
Here is a partial list of Parker surname in Union Cemetery: Thomas Parker, Willington
Parker, Nellie Swain Parker.
I have not looked for Hermon or Maria Parker's resting places. Plan to do so when
spring gets here. Let me know if you have any cemetery's I should look in, I live in
Dalton so it's just a couple of miles drive to Grove.
Heman or Hermon Parker is also in:
