PARKER Family Group 12 P70 and P81 have matching DNA on the first 12 markers. Though P81 has only a 12 marker test from the Genographic project, an exchange of data has allowed us to determine that these two men share a common ancestor. The oldest ancestor of P70 is John PARKER, born about 1569 in Southhampton England, who married Marie Gerard. P70's line is through George PARKER, grandson of John PARKER and Marie GERRARD. This George PARKER married Florence CADE. The genealogy of P81 had been stuck on Peter PARKER, born 1783 in Maryland or Kentucky, who married Comfort Cottingham. P93 matches P70 on 24 of 25 markers, and was added to this group on 19 May 2006. Prior to the DNA test the oldest confirmed ancestor of P93 was John R. PARKER, b 1861 in Missouri and died in St. Louis Mo in 1945. The DNA test supports their hypothesis that the father of John R. PARKER was Edward James PARKER, born 1831 in Worcester Co MD and died 1910-17 in Jefferson Co. MO. The wife of Edward James PARKER was Julia A. McBAIN, 1836-1873.
