I've been researching for some time with a brick wall at a certain William Shipley Parker - b. 1790 in PA - died in Buncombe Co., NC - some of his children born in TN - brother probably Benjamin - children Agnes, John T., James M., Thomas M., Nancy A. R., Rachel, and a few I can't remember at the moment..... I've looked in TN and got lost in all the Parkers and Shipleys I found there - but I found your site - Rachel Parker - dau. of William and Patience Shipley - the will of William is 1818 - that would be about right -

I had found an older William Parker show up in NC in 1810 - then vanish...

You can't imagine how much this helps - I've just corresponded this morning with someone researching Benjamin Parker - at the same brick wall I was -
thank you.

Hi Joe,
In researching my Parker line, I was referred to your page on John2 Payne (Reuben1 Payne) in regard to William Parker and wife Patience Shipley. Also, was referred to the will of William Parker which lists my Benjamin Parker as being an heir, probably a son.

Been looking for Benjamin for years, and Avery Parker has given me a lot to think about and research.

Would you have any more information on William Parker and Patience Shipley? Would appreciate any assistance that you could give me, places to look, any printed sources, or researchers on this line.
Thanks,
Bill Hallmark, Garland, TX
