PARKER Family Group 11

   P07 and P65 match on 23 of 25 markers. The oldest ancestor of P65 is John PARKER
 who married Rachel SHIPLEY. This family was in Tennessee in the early 1800's 
then in Northern Alabama, and to Pope Co. Arkansas by 1844. Descendents had 
known that John and Rachel had 10 children, but the 5 oldest children were 
unknown for many years. The oldest ancestor of P07 is Isham PARKER, born about 
1815 in Alabama. He married Frances (Gouldin?), perhaps as his second wife. Isham 
has been found in Jefferson Co Alabama in 1850, Lawrence Co. Al in 1860 and Gibson
 Co. TN in 1870. These families are exploring the hypothesis that Isham PARKER is
 one of the 5 older children of John PARKER and Rachel SHIPLEY.

   The DNA test was extended to 37 markers for both P07 and P65. They now match on
 32 of 37 markers, making it less likely that the ancestor of P07, Isham PARKER, 
was a son of John PARKER, ancestor of P65. These families are looking for a 
uncle-nephew or more distant relationship between Isham PARKER, b 1815, and John 
PARKER born abt 1780. They have circumstantial evidence that indicates a linkage 
based on geography and given names.

   P78 was added to this family on 25 February 2006. He is a 24/25 match to both 
P07 and P65.
