From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Parker-296

Nathaniel Parker's will dated 25 Feb 1811 establishes 8 of his 10 children as:

• 01 - John Parker (*) (married 1st Mary Rogers, 2nd Sally Collier)
• 02 - Thomas Parker (married Susana Rogers)
• 03 - Richard Parker (married Nancy Rogers)
• 04 - Isaac Parker (married Agnes Bartlet)
• 05 - Nathaniel Parker (married 1st Sally Ramsey, 2nd Lucretia Penny)
• 06 - Robert Parker (married Martha Patsy Martin)
• 07 - Elizabeth 'Betsy' (Parker) Collier (married Michael Collier)
• 08 - Mary 'Polly' (Parker) Thompson (married William Thompson).

The missing two children were:

• 09 - Aaron Parker (died before March 1805) Sumner County, TN
• 10 - Susannah Parker (died before 1805) Jefferson County, KY. who married Charles Beeler. Her stepson John C. Beeler is listed for himself and brothers in Nathaniel Parker's 29 July, 1814 Settlement of Estate .

And by Aaron Parker's son of Nathaniel who died without issue before March, 1805. His nuncupative will which was proven in court on that date named all his siblings, except for Susannah (Parker) Beeler.

John (*)', Thomas, Richard, Isaac, Nathaniel, Robert Parker, Elizabeth Colyer and Mary Thompson

The list of the above 10 children is reinforced by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott who wrote a letter to his children (bot. of page 8 (doc page 10)) on the 31st Oct. 1851 outlining their genealogy. In the letter he stated:

"My aunt had three daughters and seven sons by him, namely, Susannah, Elizabeth and Polly (aka Mary), John (*), Thomas, Richard, Aaron, Robert, Isaac and Nathaniel."

Justice Scott went on to state:

Susannah intermarried with Charles Buler (Beeler). More than sixty years since they removed and settled at Maristick (Mann's Lick - a 1790-1820 salt works) a few miles from Louisville Kentucky. (Betsy) Elizabeth (Parker) intermarried with Col. Michael Collyer (Collier) and John (Parker) with Miss Sally Collier, grand-son and grand-daughter of old Col. Thomas Cresap. These two families many years since removed and settled in Shelby County, Kentucky.

• Page 482 of Parker in America has a Oct 11, 1904 letter written by Ernest H. Parker of Nashville, TN. wherein he states:

John (Parker), son of Nathaniel, lived at Shelbyville, KY.

This is reinforced by the above statement by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott's 1851 letter to his children (bot. of page 8 (doc page 10)) wherein he stated:

Elizabeth (Parker) intermarried with Col. Michael Collyer (Collier) and John (Parker) with Miss Sally Collier, grand-son and grand-daughter of old Col. Thomas Cresap. These two families many years since removed and settled in Shelby County, Kentucky.

Shelbyville, Ky. is the county seat of Shelby County, KY which is where Justice Thomas Scott said John Parker (married Sarah Collier) and his sister Elizabeth Parker (married Michael Collier) migrated to.

MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 0 Elizabeth Scott born about 1740 married Nathaniel Parker of Hampshire County, VA about 1764. She died between Oct 1783 and about 1788 as she was deceased before her husband Nathaniel Parker migrated to Sumner County, TN. She was the daughter of Thomas Scott. Her brother John Scott was the father of Ohio State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott who wrote a letter in Oct 1851 wherein he stated:

"My father's sister Elizabeth, intermarried with Mr. Nathaniel Parker. He owned a beautiful well-kept cultivated farm and mills, two or three miles above the town of Frankfort on Patterson's creek, in Hampshire County, Virginia. He was a man of more than ordinary industry, economy and enterprise, and owned considerable wealth. My aunt had three daughters and seven sons by him, namely, Susannah, Elizabeth and Polly, John, Thomas, Richard, Aaron, Robert, Isaac and Nathaniel. Susannah intermarried with Charles Beeler. More than sixty years since they removed and settled at Manslick [early salt works] a few miles from Louisville Kentucky. They had several children, but are both now deceased. Neither the names nor the places of their descendants are to me known. Elizabeth intermarried with Col. Michael Collyer [Collier] and John with Miss Sally Collier, grand-son and grand-daughter of old Col. Thomas Cresap. These two families many years since removed and settled in Shelby County, Kentucky. After the decease of my aunt, Mr. Parker with the residue of his sons and daughters, their families removed to the state of Tennessee, where he intermarried with the widow of Col. Bledsoe deceased, but report says they did not live happily together."

Elizabeth, as the first wife’s given name is reinforced by the 1828 Francis and Pamelia A. (Parker) Duffy family bible wherein it states:

"Thomas Parker was born 29th February A.D. 1768; he was the son of Nathaniel Parker and his wife Elizabeth" &
"Susana Rogers wife of Thomas Parker was born 11th April 1773; she was the daughter of William Rogers and Sarah his wife. Susana was born in Hampshire County, Virginia."

Elizabeth, as his first wife's given name is reinforced by oral tradition that Bethpage, TN. was "named by Nathaniel Parker in memory of his deceased wife Elizabeth" as noted in the Bethpage Methodist Church History [http://www.tntcarden.com/tree/ensor/EnsorSMChurches2.html

A large number of family files suggest his wife was Ann Clayton and she was born about 1726, although they provide no supporting documentation. A Wikipedia chart shows the percentage of decline of ovarian reserve related to increasing age. Using the 1726 birth year, then statistically any child listed as born after 1771 is unlikely to be a child of Ann Clayton. For most families who are actually descended from the Nathaniel Parker of Sumner County, TN who died in 1811, it means that Nathaniel Parker, Jr born 1775; Isaac Parker born 1776; Mary Parker born 1779; Aaron Parker born 1781; and Robert Parker born 1783 are statistically unlikely to be children of Ann Clayton as she would have been 49, 50, 53, 55 and 57 years old when they were born and her ovarian reserve would have been depleted.

NOTE: Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) who died in Sumner County, Tennessee and his father John Parker (1700-1760) who died in Hampshire County, VA. (now Mineral County, W.V.) belong to Parker yDNA Family Group #18. IF YOUR TREE includes the Elder John Parker (1758-1836) who died at Ft. Parker, TX. , Daniel Parker who married Sarah Mackintosh or the Susan (Parker) Daughettee who died in 1816 Estill County, KY. then the Nathaniel Parker and his father John Parker ARE NOT your ancestors as the Elder John Parker belongs to Parker yDNA Family Group #5. There are only 5 of 25 yDNA marker matches between these two Parker lines and 23 of 25 have to match for a biological match.

Comment from Ancestry.com JECrouch1990 The M.B. DeWitt circa 1860 family bible states Nathaniel Parker was born in 1724 and died in 1811. His will was probated in the March 1812 Sumner County, TN. court. This Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) and his father John Parker (1700-1760) who died in Hampshire County, VA. (now Mineral County, W.V.) belong to Parker yDNA Family Group #18.

The Nathaniel Parker who married Ann Clayton belongs to Parker yDNA Family Group #5.

These two Nathaniel Parker's belong to two separate and biologically distinct Parker lines where only 5 of 25 markers match and 23 of 25 need to match to prove a biological relationship.

Nathaniel Parker of Parker yDNA Family Group #18 1st married Elizabeth Scott (2 sources: 1851 letter + 1828 family bible), and 2nd married Mary (Ramsey) Bledsoe (Source: 1851 letter + Cisco's 1909 Historic Sumner County, TN.)
