Parker Family Genealogy Forum
  
Extracted from Week's History of Putnam County Indiana
pg.370."Among the long established and highly respected families of Putnam co. Indiana, none have occupied a higher place in public esteem than the Parker family...The emigrant ancestor of the Parker family was John Parker, who was born and reared in England, but who, because he accidentally injured the wife of a nobleman, was banished from his native land. His coming to America was sometime prior to the war of Revolution and relics of this ancestor are now in the hands of this great grandson, Benjamin A. Parker, of this township.
Among the children of this John Parker was son, William, who was born in South Carolina about 1790. On reaching mature years the latter married Candace Austin, and to them was born a son, William Henly Parker. On Nov. 27, 1827, William and Candace Austin Parker arrived in Putnam co. Ind."
Does anyone know of male Parker descendants who would take the ydna test?
