THE ONLY THREE PARKER FAMILIES FOUND IN 1880 MCDANIELS
Marley Parker
This is the G.M. Parker that Sankie was found living with and listed
as her cousin in 1920. Actually this is the father or Isaac Autry's
wife Matilda. Marley was born sometime around 1844 and his occupation
was logging. He was found living in the Little Coharie township
of Sampson County in 1870.
His family of 1870 included
His wife Marina (Riney) Parker
His children living with him
Matilda Autry-Parker born abt. 1865 (married Ned Edward Autry's
son, Isaac Autry)
A son born abt. 1866
Alice Parker born abt. 1867
Mary Jane Parker born abt. 1869
By 1880 Marley had moved to the McDaniels township and was Ned Edward
Autry's next door neighbor.
His household at the time consisted of Marina Parker, his wife who
was born about the same time as Marley.
And his Children living with him
Delley Parker born abt. 1861
Alice Parker born abt. 1867
Lizza Parker born abt. 1869

was born sometime around 1845 and was listed as a farmer. Med's
family during this time included
Charlotte Autry-Parker his wife who was born abt.1847 (Ned Edward
and Rose Autry's daughter)
His children
Mathew Parker born abt. 1871
Emme or Emma Parker born abt. 1873
By 1900 Emma would be married to Marchestor.
James Parker
Most of the Parkers presently living in Parkersburg are direct
descendants of James Parker He was born sometime around 1843, was
found living in the McDaniels township and was listed as a farmer
in 1870 and 1880.
His family at the time consisted of Peggy Parker, his wife, who
was born sometime around 1851.
His children
Roena Parker born abt. 1869
Jimmey Parker born abt. 1872
Mary E. Parker born abt. 1874
John M. Parker born abt. 1876
Beckey liza Parker born abt. 1878
An unknown Parker that was a female and was 3 months old in 1880
There were many African American Parkers in the areas that surrounded
the McDaniels township in 1870 and 1880. Although the men of these
three Parker families may not have been blood relatives they could
have been just as close by possibly being slave members of the same
slaveholding mechanism or family which also needs to be researched.
I will have more information on these Parker families in the future.
