NINTH GENERATION

326. Cader Parker was born in 1741 in Nansemond County, Virginia. He died between 1778 and 1838. He has reference number 22180. 1793 Elizabeth HART's will lists a Cader PARKER as son.

Cader - b. 1745; d. Aug. 12, 1780, Granville County, North Carolina. Cader served in the Revolution, never recovering from wounds received in the service. He received a land grant in Sumner County, Tennessee. Will dated Aug. 12, 1777, and recorded Nov. Court 1780. Being never married, he wills to his brothers Elijah and George PARKER all land in Granville County, North Carolina; to 3 sisters Jemima, Elizabeth, and Pharada, all else - with Jonathan PARKER and John BADGET, exrs.


Richard Parker was born about 1676 in Nansemond County, Virginia and died
about 1752 in Chowan County, North Carolina. His grandfather, Richard
Parker, Chirurgeon (means Surgeon) had been born in Cornwall, England about
1629 and brought his family to Virginia sometime before 1676. Our ancestry
to Edward I goes back through this line. This information came from a
book entitled
"Some Ancestors and Descendants of Richard Parker, Chirurgeon" by Eleanor
Davis McSwain, deceased, of Macon, Georgia. Although I have not been able
to obtain a copy of the book, I have zeroxed pages of some of it.
The Richard Parker who was born in Virginia about 1767 had thirteen
children. I do not know his wife's name of if he had only one wife. Old
records often didn't bother with wives names. We are descended from
Richard's two oldest sons, Jonas and Jonathan. Jonas' son, David Parker,
had a daughter, Sarah Parker who married Henry William Jones, from whom we
are descended. Jonathan had a daughter, Elizabeth Parker who married Joseph
Hester , from whom we are descended. (Sarah's sister, Nancy Parker, is the
one who married Nicholas Jones, brother to Henry William Jones. Although this is an
interesting fact, it does not affect our ancestry.)


I have two Parker connections: First, Cader Parker of Nansemond Virginia who was living nextdoor to Hardy Parker on the 1782 Tax Digest of Nansemond County, Virginia. Cader Parker moved to Georgia by the 1790's--Greene County. His daughter Elizabeth Parker married my ancestor William Steward/Stuart of Surry/Sussex Virginia. Secondly, I have a grandmother, Lucretia Parker--daughter of Drewry/Drury Parker and Elizabeth Barham of Surry/Sussex Counties, Virginia--who married John Stuart/Steward, son of William Stuart/Steward and Mary Shands. Would like to hear from anyone with these family connections. My earliest research on the Stuart/Steward family and its allied families can be read at http://www.hom.net/~htpiii under "Some Old Virginia Families." He was married between 1750 and 1793. Children were:

i. Phoebe Parker has reference number 22388.
ii. Daniel Parker has reference number 22390.
iii. Samuel Parker has reference number 22391.
163 iv. Elizabeth Parker.
