PARKER Family Group 2

  P13 and P16 match on 35 of 37 markers. The oldest PARKER ancestor of P13 is John
 PARKER, b abt 1725 in Ireland. He emmigrated to the U.S. before 1774, when he
 obtained a land grant in Montgomery Co. VA. He died before 1793. Thomas Bryant 
PARKER, b 1798 in Grayson Co. VA, d 1850 in Kanesville, Iowa is the oldest PARKER 
ancestor of P16. Descendents have been searching for the parents of Thomas Bryant 
PARKER for more than 100 years. Recent evidence had indicated that these two lines
 could be related, but a solid paper connection could not be established. P13 and
 P16 had their Y-DNA analysed to determine whether they shared a common ancestor.
 They are now confident that Thomas Bryant PARKER, b 1798, was a grandson of John
 PARKER b 1725. P21 and P16 are brothers, and expected to have a high level match.


    P24 and P25 were added to this family group on Nov 14,2004 after their DNA 
analysis was complete. They used a different lab, and there are 27 markers in 
common between the two labs. They match each other on 40 of 42 markers, and each
 matches P21 on 41 of 42 markers. They are descended from Joshua PARKER, b 1809 
in New York City. Joshua married Druscilla DICKSON (DIXON) HARTLEY, in 1844. The
 parents of Joshua are thought to be Joshua PARKER and Sarah ROGERS (RODGERS). 
The Virginia PARKER line of P13 and P16 had no prior connection to the New England
 area, and we think it is likely that the common ancestor lived in Ireland or
 England. Additional test subjects are being sought to expand the descendents of
 this line.

    P34 was added to this family group in January 2005, upon completion of his DNA
 test. He is descended from Moses PARKER, b 1806 in New York City, an older 
brother of Joshua PARKER, b 1809.

    P36 was added to this family group in Jan 2005. His DNA test was done as part 
of the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy project, and his DNA profile was found by
 searching for matches in that data base to DNA profiles of one of our participants.
 He is also descended from the line of Joshua PARKER of New York.
 
    P54 was added to this lineage on 25 July 2005. He has an exact DNA match 
to P24 and P34. 

    P56 a descendant of Joseph Faulkner Parker and Mary Elizabeth Ross was added 
to this lineage on 8 August 2005. He has an exact DNA match to P13, P16, P21 and P54.

     P90 matches the modal values for Family 2 on all 37 markers. The oldest 
ancestor of P90 is Thomas Bryant PARKER, born 1798 in Grayson Co. VA, died 1850 
in Kanesville, Iowa.
 
    P132 was added to this group on 11 Oct 2006. He matches P25 on 29 
on 30 markers. He is descended from Joshua PARKER born 1778 in Cortlandt,
 Westchester County, New York, died 27 Sept 1819 in Westford, Middlesex 
County, Massachusetts.
 
    P128 was added to this group on 10 November 2006. He matches P13 25 / 25. 
P128 is descended from John PARKER, born about 1725 in Ireland, died 1792/3 in
 Grayson County Virginia. John PARKER married Hannah.
 
     The common ancestor of the lines of John PARKER and Joshua PARKER is 
still unknown, but the marker DYS 449 appears to be a point of differentiation 
between these lines.
