Deposition of N.D. Shinn to Cherokee Nation Citizenship Commission
"N.D. Shinn being sworn says My name is N.D. Shinn. My occupation is a farmer. I am 65 years of age. I reside near Russellville, Pope county Arkansas. I was acquainted with Henry Parker and his wife. I got acquainted with them in 1839. I was very well acquainted with Henry Parker having fished and hunted with him on many occasions. He told me himself he was part Indian and I am satisfied from his appearance he was and also from the appearance of his family. He was the father of Geo W. Parker. I was also wwell acquainted with his sons Edward, Ret, and Henry. He also had other sons and daughters whose names I now do not remember. Except I knew Winny, Sallie and Hester of his daughters. I never heard it disputed that he was part Indian. His neighbors all understood him to be so."
