Message Board Post:
My husband' g-grandfather was named James A. Parker,but we don't know where he
came from. We know he married a Mary Annie Ratliff, from Al.(?), and moved to Mississippi.
He had two children there.
1. William H. Parker
2.Thadeus Parker
Then they came to Texas.
They had:
3.Benjamin Franklin Parker born 1866 in Eagle Lake, Texas (my husband's grandfather).
4. Joseph Parker
The parents, James,wife and possibly Thadeus died in 1873 in the Eagle Lake area.
William,Benjamin, and Joseph later moved to Gonzales County, Texas where they all married
and raised their families and some still live there today.
Could this be the missing link that we have been searching for? On one of the records it
says James was born 1818 in S.C. and other family members say 1800 in Miss. others that he
was from Indiania. You can see that no one has a good idea but according to most of the
older ones in the family he was only in his fifty's when he died.
If you know anything about this James my e-mail add. is:
