Bonnie, the will of Thomas PARKER of Rowan Co., NC, mentions his daughter Edith BECK.
Reubin Parker married to Ruth Ratledge in Rowan Co, NC, moved to Clark Co., IN, with their
daughter Jedidah Dorthea Parker who was married to Harris ROWZEE. Do you have any
information about your Eda Parker that might confirm her as the spouse of my unknown
Beck?

Hello Phillip,
Thank you for the generous offer, but that is not necessary, as I
have located them on Find A Grave at Plum Run.
I was hoping to make contact with a descendant to clarify Alfred's
father's name.
We visited SE Indiana this late summer and found it most interesting
and inviting. I liked the small communities and the Libraries were
great too.
Thanks again,
Bonnie
