Joseph M.
Parker was born in Kentucky, about 1811.
I have no idea who his parents may have been.
He married
Elizabeth Leach in 1850 in White County, Illinois. I also have no idea who her parents were
although I believe she was also born about 1811 but in Illinois.
Joseph and
Elizabeth had ten children before Elizabeth died in 1862 in Jefferson County,
Iowa.
Ann Parker
(1830 IL-1917 IA) married Albert Bryan in 1850 in Iowa.
Sarah Parker
(abt 1833 IL-1899IA) married John C. Layton in 1862 in Iowa.
Margaret
Parker (1834 IL – aft 1910 ?) married Joseph Stone in 1862 in Iowa
Louise
Parker (abt 1837 IA – 1870-1880 ?) married John Richard Russell in 1860 in
Iowa.
Thomas
Benjamin Parker (1837IA – 1915 IA) married Ann Eliza Russell in 1862 in
Iowa.
John Richard Russell and Ann
Eliza Russell were siblings.
James Parker
(abt 1845 IA – aft 1870)
George
Dallas Parker (1847 IA-1922 IA) married Lucinda Olive Heckethorn (spelling
varies widely) in
1871 in Iowa
Mary Parker
(abt 1850 IA - ?) married William A. Bryan in 1875 in Iowa.
Ira Parker
(abt 1853 IA – after 1860)
Iowa Parker
(1855 IA-aft 1870) married, I believe, Joseph W. Harner in 1874 in Iowa.
After Elizabeth died in 1862 and was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery, Joseph married Sarah Stone in March 1865. Joseph and Sarah had four children.
Joseph died
in 1877 in Jefferson County, Iowa and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
