Surname Saturday - PARKER
PARKER - What's in your name?
I found this article posted in a newspaper in the 1970's. I thought it was interesting and falls in line with the Blog topic for today.
I have transcribed it below:
In medieval times most English lords had portions of their estates set aside as park land, hunting preserves, or deer parks. One member of their official household was in charge of his preserve and was known by the title "gameskeeper" or "parker." The present day surname Parker owes its origin to this occupation or position.
The word, itself, comes from the Old French "parquier, parchir" meaning a gameskeeper. Its French roots are a definite indication that the surname evolved after the Norman conquest of England in 1065. Early records lend credence to this opinion for it is not until 1083 that we find a record of the name in England. In that year an Anschetil Parcher is listed in the Domesday Bank in Somerset.
While most of the early Parkers were servants of various English lords, at least one family of Earls of Macclesfield and of Morley, Sir Thomas Parker, the first Earl of Macclesfield, was Lord Chancellor of England in 1718. In 1725 he was impeached and found guilty of embezzlement.
The distribution of the name is quite widespread and it is not restricted to the limited areas of England. In a few instances the name disguises the medieval name Porker meaning "swineherd".
Matthew Parker served as the chaplain to Anne Boleyn. Other Parkers of note include Dorothy Parker, the American writer, Isaac Parker, the American jurist who was instrumental in the creation of Harvard Law School, and Theodore Parker, Massachusetts Unitarian clergy, who was a leading 19th century abolitionist.
The Parker cost of arms depicted above is but one of the many which are recorded for the name.

Thomas Walters
Thomas Walters is the 4th Great Grandfather of my wife.
I've already written about Thomas' son John Walters. I waited to write about Thomas as I was searching for additional information on him. There is speculation that Thomas served in the Revolutionary War serving under George Washington. I was hoping to find some concrete information to corroborate this. Well - I have not been able to prove that yet.
Thomas was born in 1757. Some records indicate he was born in Virginia and others speculate his birth as England. I'm not really sure either way.
Thomas Walters is listed in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) as Ancestor #A120187. The status of his ancestor # is 'FUTURE APPLICANTS MUST PROVE CORRECT SERVICE'. Apparently at one time he was accepted as a veteran of the Revolutionary War but his service is now in question. So in order for future generations to be accepted as a member of DAR - they would need to prove his service. A daunting task I'm sure!
The earliest applicant for the DAR was Ginerva Walters. Ginerva is descended from Thomas through his son Daniel. As far as I can tell no one from John's line, that is my wife's line, has applied to be recognized in the DAR.
In Ginerva's application she lists Thomas Walters wife as Mary E. Sibley. I've seen the name more often quoted as Sively though. There is another ancestor in the DAR database for a Jacob Sievley. Jacob is believed to be the brother of Elizabeth Sivley. Both Jacob and Thomas are thought to have served together. Jacob is a recognized veteran of the Revolutionary War and did serve under George Washington. The father of Jacob and Elizabeth is believed to be Joseph Sively and he is also believed to have served in the War.
In her application, Ginerva listed the children of Thomas Walters and Mary E Sibley (or Elizabeth Sivley) as:
1. William Walters - born 15 Apr 1787 in Virginia. Marries Elizabeth Royer.
2. Sarah Walters - born 7 Dec 1790 in Virginia. Marries Fleming Reneau
3. George Walters - born 9 Mar 1795 in Tennessee.
4. Daniel Walters - born 1 Jan 1801 in Alabama. Marries Lucinda McDonald.
5. Thomas J Walters - born 5 Oct 1805 in Alabama. Marries Susan Baughman.
6. John Walters - born 5 Apr 1808 in Alabama. Marries Elizabeth Barker.
Thomas Walters dies 26 August 1826 in Madison County, Alabama. I have transcribed his Last Will and Testament below.
It should be noted that the person Thomas names that owes him money in Tennessee last name is Reneau. One would assume that this William Reneau is related to husband of his daughter Susan. Her husband's name is Fleming Reneau.
It is unknown where Thomas Walters is buried in Madison County, Alabama.

Cannah J Walters
Cannah J Walters is the half brother of my wife's 2nd Great Grandfather, Joseph Walters.
Cannah was was born 20 December 1848 in Fulton County, Illinois. Cannah was most likely born in Joshua Township. He is son of John Walters and Elizabeth Jones.
Cannah can first be found in the 1850 Federal Census in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. He is living with his parents and three half siblings, Thomas, John and Susan Walters. Cannah is still living with his parents in the 1860 Federal Census. They still reside in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. There are two other individuals living with them in the 1860 Census. They are Joseph Walters, a half brother, and Mary Evans. Mary's relation to the family is unknown. Her occupation is listed but not legible. I will paste it below - it appears to be something about school? I assume she was maybe living with the family and teaching young Cannah?
In the 1870 Federal Census we find Cannah living alone with his new wife, Mary J. He is farming in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. Living next door are his parents, John and Elizabeth Walters. Living next door on the other side of him is a Cannah Jones - I could make an assumption that Cannah Jones could possibly be his grandfather on his mother's side. I have not researched that though. But - Cannah is not a popular name - and his mother's maiden name is Jones.
Cannah and Mary are living in Lee Township, Fulton County, Illinois in the 1880 Federal Census. Living with them are Mary's mother, Susan Waltman, and both of Cannah's parents. There is also a farm laborer living with them named May Lenard. It is unknown if May has any relation to this family.
Cannah's father, John Walters, passes away in 1883 in Fulton County, Illinois. It was noted that Cannah inherited John's entire estate when he died. It is unclear why John did not leave anything to his other children except for the fact that they had all moved away and Cannah was the only child that remained in Fulton County.
The next record we find of this family is the 1900 Federal Census living in Bushnell, McDonough, Illinois. They now have a daughter, Ida Walters, living with them. Mary's mother, Susan, is still living them although now with a different last name - Fritz. I think this is a transcription error because I can find a marriage record for a Mrs Susan Waltman marrying a Henry Tritsch in McDonough County in 1884.
The same family unit is still found living together in the 1910 Federal Census in Bushnell, McDonough County, Illinois, including the mother of Mary, Susan Waltman Tritsch. Cannah is still farming. Cannah and Mary are still found living here in the 1920 Federal Census.
Cannah J Walters and Mary Jane Waltman have the following child:
1. Ida M Walters - born 14 Sep 1889 in Fulton County, Illinois, dies 28 Jun 1982 in McDonough County, Illinois. Marries George Oplander.
Cannah J Walters dies 19 September 1924 in McDonough County, Illinois. I have not been able to find where he is buried.
Cannah was was born 20 December 1848 in Fulton County, Illinois. Cannah was most likely born in Joshua Township. He is son of John Walters and Elizabeth Jones.
Cannah can first be found in the 1850 Federal Census in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. He is living with his parents and three half siblings, Thomas, John and Susan Walters. Cannah is still living with his parents in the 1860 Federal Census. They still reside in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. There are two other individuals living with them in the 1860 Census. They are Joseph Walters, a half brother, and Mary Evans. Mary's relation to the family is unknown. Her occupation is listed but not legible. I will paste it below - it appears to be something about school? I assume she was maybe living with the family and teaching young Cannah?
Cannah marries a Mary Jane Plumer in Fulton County, Illinois on 18 August 1867. I assume that this is Mary's second marriage because in a later census her mother is listed as living with them and her name was Susan Waltman. I can then go backwards and find Susan Waltman living in Joshua, Fulton County, Ill with daughter Mary J. in the 1860 Census. So I do believe that Mary's maiden name is Waltman and not Plumer.In the 1870 Federal Census we find Cannah living alone with his new wife, Mary J. He is farming in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois. Living next door are his parents, John and Elizabeth Walters. Living next door on the other side of him is a Cannah Jones - I could make an assumption that Cannah Jones could possibly be his grandfather on his mother's side. I have not researched that though. But - Cannah is not a popular name - and his mother's maiden name is Jones.

Susan Ann Walters
Susan Ann Walters is the sisters of my wife's 2nd Great Grandfather, Joseph Walters.
Susan Walters was born 9 March 1842 in Fulton County, Illinois. She is the only daughter of John Walters and Elizabeth Barker. Her mother, Elizabeth, passed away when Susan was only 2 years old. It appears Susan was most likely raised by her step mother, Elizabeth Jones, who was described as a neighbor widow. This Elizabeth married John Walters in 1847, so it is unclear whom might have assisted John during the years 1844 through 1847.
The first record we find for Susan is the 1850 Federal Census. She is living with her father, John Walters, and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Jones. They reside in Joshua Township, Fulton County, Illinois.
Susan marries John McCarty in Fulton County, Illinois on 19 August 1858. I can't find John and Susan in the 1860 Federal Census. Her older brothers, Thomas and John left for Washington in 1859. Her parents and brothers Joseph and Cannah are in Joshua Township and her brother Daniel is in Farmers Township. She can't be found.
Between 1860 and 1870 Susan and John have four children. We find the family with these four children in the 1870 Federal Census. They are now in Farmers, Fulton County, Illinois. John's occupation is farming. Three more children are born before 1880. In 1880 the are found in Putnam, Fulton County, Illinois.
Sometime before 1900 the family moves to Walla Walla, Walla Walla County, Washington. They are most likely moving there to be with Susan's older brothers, Thomas and John. They are found in the Wilson Creek Precinct in the 1900 Census. Living a few doors down is her brother, Thomas Walters, and cousin, Joseph Barker. Living with her is only one of her children, Lydia, with her husband and 3 children. The 1900 Census notes that Susan has given birth to 13 children but only 5 are living when the census is taken.
Of the 13 children born to Susan Ann Walters and John McCarty we can only find seven. Here are the ones we know of:
1. Thomas Jefferson McCarty - born 7 Feb 1861 in Fulton County, IL, dies Jan 1937 in McDonough County, IL. Unknown if married.
2. Charles Monroe McCarty - born 7 Oct 1862 in Fulton County, IL, dies 21 Sep 1951. Marries Amanda Heffner.
3. Lydia Amanda McCarty - born June 1866 in Fulton County, IL, dies 14 February 1946 in Wilbur, Lincoln County, Washington. Marries Charles McCumber.
4. Mary L McCarty - born about 1866 in Fulton County, IL. Death unknown.
5. Amanda P McCarty - born about 1871 in Fulton County, IL. Death unknown.
6. Phoebe F McCarty - born March 1874 in Fulton County, IL, dies 1 Oct 1902 in Lincoln County, WA. Marries William Stookey.
7. Ida McCarty - born about 1879 in Fulton County, IL. Death unknown.
Susan Ann Walters dies 18 May 1908. She is buried in the Point Pleasant Cemetery in Harris Township, Fulton County, Illinois. Her headstone is below.
Susan Walters was born 9 March 1842 in Fulton County, Illinois. She is the only daughter of John Walters and Elizabeth Barker. Her mother, Elizabeth, passed away when Susan was only 2 years old.

Joseph Walters
Joseph Walters is the 2nd Great Grandfather of my wife.
Joseph Walters was born 19 May 1840 in Fulton County, Illinois. His parents were John Walters and Elizabeth Barker. Joseph's mother died when he was only 4 years old - in 1844. It is unclear exactly what happened to the children after the mother passed away. His father did not remarry until 1847 - so there were a few years where most likely the children were raised by relatives. I cannot find Joseph in the 1850 Federal Census - even though I can find his father with his new wife, two of his eldest brothers living with his father. Another older brother, Daniel, is living with his mother's brother, Joseph Barker. Then two younger siblings, sister Susan Ann Walters, and half brother Cannah Walters, are also living with his father. Where was Joseph in 1850? My assumption is that he was either living with a relative close by or that he was mistakenly left off of the household of his father.
The first record we can find Joseph in is the 1860 Federal Census. He is now living with his father, step mother and half brother. His occupation is a farming. Joseph marries Angeline Scott 3 October 1861 in Fulton County, Illinois. I do wonder if Joseph fought in the Civil War as he is the perfect age to do so and his brother, Daniel, did. There was a Joseph Walters from Fulton County that did fight in the Civil War but, it would have been hard to be gone in the Civil War and be fathering children, as he did. Below is part of an account written by the Granddaughter of Joseph and Angeline.
Between the 1860 and 1870 Federal Censuses Joseph and Angeline had 5 children. Four of these children are found living with them in the 1870 Federal Census. Also living with them is Angeline's father, Thomas Scott. They are still farming and living in Joseph, Fulton County, Illinois.
The family sells the farm in 1873 and moves west to Exeter, Nebraska. Below is an account of this written by Angie Thompson, the Granddaughter of Joseph and Angeline.
Granddaughter, Angie Thompson, says:

Below is part of an account written by the Granddaughter of Joseph and Angeline.
"Grandmother Angeline married her school sweetheart, Joseph Walters, when she was about 18 years old. His mother, Mary Barker, died when he was 10. His father remarried a neighbor widow and they had a red headed son known as "Canny" Walters. He inherited everything including the farm. Grandfather Joseph had two older brothers who left home when they were about 15 years old. They went to the state of Washington where they had a horse ranch."
Between the 1860 and 1870 Federal Censuses Joseph and Angeline had 5 children. Four of these children are found living with them in the 1870 Federal Census. Also living with them is Angeline's father, Thomas Scott. They are still farming and living in Joseph, Fulton County, Illinois.
The family sells the farm in 1873 and moves west to Exeter, Nebraska. Below is an account of this written by Angie Thompson, the Granddaughter of Joseph and Angeline.
"Grandmother Angeline’s sister, Ann, married Hugh Wilson. He migrated to Nebraska Illinois Exeter Exeter Illinois Exeter
Between the years of 1870 and 1880 four more children are born to Joseph and Angeline. In the 1880 Federal Census they have seven children living with them. Thomas Scott, Angeline's father, is still living with them. Joseph is still farming.
During the next twenty years Angeline and Joseph have three more children. They attempted to move to Washington where Joseph's two older brothers raised livestock, and were pretty prosperous - as I've noted in a previous blog on those brothers. Angie Thompson describes it below.
"Grandfather Joseph sold the home he built in Exeter Washington Julesburg , Colorado Exeter
We find the family back in Exeter in the 1900 Federal Census in Fillmore County. Seven of their children are still living at home as well as one Grandchild, William Blood. William is the son of their daughter, Elmina. Living two doors down is their eldest child, Thomas Walters, with his wife and two children. It's interesting to note that their daughter, Sarah Jane Walters, is found during this time frame in Walla Walla, Washington. So even though the family did not end of moving to Walla Walla where Joseph's brothers lived, his daughter did. She was found in the 1892 Washington State Census living there with her husband and son. With that I assume Joseph's attempt to move there was sometime prior to 1892.
By 1910 the family has moved to Fairmont, Fillmore County, Nebraska. Three children are still living at home and Joseph is still farming.
Joseph Walters dies 6 May 1913 presumably in Fillmore County, Nebraska since he was living there in 1910. Joseph is buried in the Exeter, Fillmore County, Nebraska.
Granddaughter, Angie Thompson, says:
"I was five years old when Grandfather Joseph died. I can remember seeing him hitch “Ginger” to the gate. I can remember his snow white beard. He brought me candy one time when he came home in the late afternoon with Ginger. I can see the sun shining in the kitchen window on the checkered table cloth and remember the newly baked loaves of bread sitting on the table. What wonderful cooks and neat homemakers!"
Joseph Walters and Angeline Scott had the following children:
1. Thomas Jefferson Walters - born 6 Jul 1862 in Fulton County, IL and dies May 1945 in Riverside, CA. Marries Maryetta Colwell.
2. John William Walters - born 8 Dec 1863 in Fulton County, IL and dies 26 Nov 1947 in Exeter, Fillmore County, NE. Marries Mary Edith Hanson.
3. Sarah Jane Walters - born 27 May 1866 in Fulton County, IL and dies 27 Jul 1957 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla County, WA. She marries 1st Will Howard. She marries 2nd John Bellows.
4. Elmina Dorothy Walters - born 27 May 1868 in Fulton County, IL and dies 28 Sep 1963 in Exeter, Fillmore County, NE. She marries 1st to Edgar Blood. She marries 2nd to Herbert Trego.
5. Un-named boy - born/died around 1870 in Fulton County, IL.
6. Charles Marion Walters - born 30 Oct 1872 in Fulton County, IL and dies 30 Sep 1951 in Llewelyn, Garden County, NE. Marries IdaBelle Alice Minnick.

Daniel, William and James Walters
Daniel, William and James Walters are all brothers of Joseph Walters, the 2nd Great Grandfather of my wife. Their parents are John Walters and Elizabeth Barker.
Daniel Walters
Daniel Walters was born about 1836 in Fulton County, Illinois. I don't have much information on Daniel. The first record that I believe to be Daniel is the 1860 Federal Census. He is living with a Barker family in Farmers, Fulton County, Illinois. I assume this Barker family to be relations of his mother, Elizabeth Barker. I have not researched the Barker line yet so of this I am not sure.
The only real information I have is that Daniel died in the Civil War. His place of death is thought to be Camp Sherman in Mississippi in 1863. This information I obtained from another researcher of the Walters line. His burial location is unknown.
William Walters
William Walters was born about 1837 in Fulton County, Illinois. It is believed that William Walters died in 1840 in the same county. His burial location is not known.
James L Walters
James L Walters was born in 1844 in Fulton County, Illinois. This is the same year that his mother Elizabeth Barker dies. I wonder if she died in child birth. James L Walters died in 1847 in Farmers, Fulton County, Illinois. His burial location is not known.
Including my previous post of John and Thomas Walters - that makes five Walters brothers who were never married and produced no children. Stay tuned for Joseph Walters - he makes up for the lack of Grandchildren for John and Elizabeth for he and his wife, Angeline Scott, have a total of 12 children!
Daniel Walters
Daniel Walters was born about 1836 in Fulton County, Illinois. I don't have much information on Daniel. The first record that I believe to be Daniel is the 1860 Federal Census. He is living with a Barker family in Farmers, Fulton County, Illinois. I assume this Barker family to be relations of his mother, Elizabeth Barker. I have not researched the Barker line yet so of this I am not sure.
The only real information I have is that Daniel died in the Civil War. His place of death is thought to be Camp Sherman in Mississippi in 1863. This information I obtained from another researcher of the Walters line. His burial location is unknown.
William Walters
William Walters was born about 1837 in Fulton County, Illinois. It is believed that William Walters died in 1840 in the same county. His burial location is not known.
James L Walters
James L Walters was born in 1844 in Fulton County, Illinois. This is the same year that his mother Elizabeth Barker dies. I wonder if she died in child birth. James L Walters died in 1847 in Farmers, Fulton County, Illinois. His burial location is not known.
Including my previous post of John and Thomas Walters - that makes five Walters brothers who were never married and produced no children. Stay tuned for Joseph Walters - he makes up for the lack of Grandchildren for John and Elizabeth for he and his wife, Angeline Scott, have a total of 12 children!
