When Moses Parker came from Georgia to Dickson County, Tennessee, in 1804, all he had was 2 horses, a rifle, an ax, handsaw, and knife, wife and 4 children. The first Primitive Baptist Church was organized in the Parker home in 1810.
(JHC) On Headstone at Parker Cemetary, Dickson, Tennessee: PARKER, Moses 10/31/1773-8/9/1855; s/o Daniel Parker & Sarah Mackintosh; Wife: Hannah Johnson b. 1780

The Parker's Creek area was settled in 1804 by Moses Parker and his family when he and his uncle, Elder John Parker, received permission from the governor of Georgia to leave Elbert County to visit the "Natchez Indian Territory". Their family eventually established the Turnbull Primitive Baptist Church in 1806 and remains the oldest continuously meeting church in Dickson County. Elder John Parker was a Primitive Baptist Church missionary that moved from place to place establishing churches & according to church records Moses' father Daniel Parker was the Turnbull Primitive Baptist congregation's first minister. Moses received a land grant from James Robertson of Davidson County dated Aug. 27th 1808 in payment for 6 months service in the late regiment. "When he landed at his destination all he had was two horses which bore the household goods, a rifle, chopping axe, hand saw, drawing knife, wife & 4 children. He quickly built a cabin & a mill & cleared a considerable farm in which he cultivated & raised plenty of provisions for home consumption", (Hickman Pioneer 1887). Elder John Parker soon left to spread the gospel in Crawford County, IL & later to Limestone Co. TX. It was here that he met his maker at the hands of the Commanches during the raid on Fort Parker on May 19, 1836. His granddaughter, Cynthia Ann Parker was captured & went on to live with the tribe for years later marrying the Chief Peta Nocona & giving birth to Praire Flower & the great Commanche Chief Quannah Parker. The John Wayne / Natalie Wood movie "The Searchers" is loosely based upon this story.

Back in Dickson Co. TN, Parker's Creek was named for Moses after he killed a bear & cut his name in a tree in 1808. An early Dickson County land deed dated 1827 & signed by Moses refers to "the waters of Parker's Mill Creek" in its survey. After Moses's death in 1852 his daughter, Indiana Territory Parker & her husband Daniel Spencer, remained here and raised a family. The earliest documentation establishing the operation as Spencer's Mill appear just before the Civil War in 1856. The mill was operated by Daniel & Indiana's son, Samuel Spencer, as a water turbine driven corn & flour mill. In order to grind corn and wheat for local farmers in this area, French burr stones were bought & shipped for $14.14 from overseas and used as ballasts for weight during the passage across the Atlantic. The mill became the center of the community where everything from rifles to coffins were manufactured. Even the first thresher in the county was constructed here. Spencer's Mill boasted a wood & blacksmith shop, two stores, a saw mill and a post office. Mail was received semi-weekly in the community from Jan 18, 1878-April 14, 1906. William A. Lampley was its first postmaster.
By the turn of the century the center of business had shifted to the nearby town of Burns because of railroad access built there during the Civil War. At that time the town was known simply as Grade 36 because of the mileage to Nashville from there. Later the name was changed to Burns Station. Many believe that the town was named in honor of the president of the Nashville & Northwestern raidroad Michael Burns which makes the most sense since he served as president from 1861-1865. Another old story states that the town was named for a Yankee Captain John Burns that commanded a detachment of black troops there during the war used to finish the railroad from Kingston Springs to Johnsonville & the Tennessee River. While it is true that black troops were used to construct the railroad, there has been no evidence found to back this up that such a man as Capt. Burns existed. In addition, Dickson County only supplied Confederate troops during the War Between the States & didn't exactly support this envasion of Southern soil by the Yankee invaders. Alexander Duval McNairy's 1864 Raid in Burns is a prime example of this. For more on this railroad please visit (visit link) Anyhow, the "Station" in Burns Station was later dropped in favor of simply "Burns".

By 1919 Samuel's son, William Spencer Sr., was forced to sell the mill. Jeff Lampley bought the building & dismantled it. The story passed down is that the roof joists were used for the old local 7 Gables Inn that is no longer in existence. The operation of the mill was reborn ten miles away next to the tracks on Railroad Street in Burns. The mill was rebuilt as a new two story linear structure, & passed down to his son, Sammy , then to his brother William Jr., and finally sold to Jewell J. Richardson. In its new building the mill ran on various power sources, including a steam engine and a diesel generator from the old Burns Electric Department until sometime in 1945. At this time Spencer's Mill ceased operation sitting dormant & in disrepair for almost fifty years. Trish & Tim Miller purchased the mill in 1993 and moved it back to the original mill site on Parker's Creek where a faithful restoration began. In time, the present owners intend to operate the mill once again & preserve this as a local historical area. In the meantime cornmeal is being ground on site by a portable gasoline powered mill & complimentary bags are available. Located just off the intersection of Abiff & Spencer Mill Road on Old Spencer Mill Road in southeastern Dickson County, Middle Tennessee.

Moses married Hannah JOHNSON about 1798 in Tennessee. Hannah (daughter of John JOHNSON and Elizabeth ASHFIELD) was born on 18 Aug 1780 in White Plains, Green County, Georgia; died in 1860 in Dickson County, Tennessee; was buried in Parker-Fowlkes Cemetery, Abiff Road, Dickson County, Tennessee.

Historical References from John Howell:
Note from Knights Roster of Georgia Revolutionary Soldiers: "John Johnson - fought at the battle of Kettle Creek."
Notes from J Howell:
Notes from Wikipedia: The Battle of Kettle Creek was fought on February 4th, 1779, in Wilkes County near present day Washington, Georgia. It is one of the most important battles of the American Revolutionary War ot be fought in Georgia. The victory by the Patriots virtually ended the movement by the Loyalists to remain loyal to the Kingdom of Britain.

Extract from Revolutionary papers in the Georgia State Archives, Atlanta, Georgia:

"This is to certify that the bearer, Captain John Johnson of the first Battallion of Richmond County Militia of the State of Georgia, served as a reffugee and bore the rank of Captain, who took an active part in the fite & performed his duty of a good and faithful soldier. Given my hand at Pigeon Hill the 17th of march 1764 (A) Jas. McNeil, Colonel"

"To the Honorable President: Your petitioner, John Johnson, prays for land agreeable to the within Certificate and in Washington County (A) John Johnson"

Note from Lundie W. Barlow on above: "Washington County, Georgia, was established 25 February, 1784 from Indian lands; Greene County was established, 3 February, 1786 from Washington County, and included that territory which later became Hancock County."

LBSH chart notes:

"..a Rev. Soldier Hancock, Georgia between Sparta and White Plains."

From "History of Greene Co., GA":

p. 34 "When Greene Co. (GA) was first organized in February 1786 there were quite a number of settlers who had moved in, and secured land grants while theis territory belonged to Washington County, therefore, the names of Greene's earliest settlers do not appear on the following list."

The list mentioned above is called "Head Rights Granted to the Citizens of Greene County", begins p. 35, and shows name, acres granted and year granted. The Johnsons (relationship to this John Johnson unknown) that appear on the list are (cronological order):

William Johnson 150 acres Ogeechee River, 1787
William Johnson, 280 acres Ogeechee River, 1788 William Johnson, 50 acres, 1789
John Johnson, 72 acres, Beaverdam Creek, 1798

From Mary Jordan (RootsWeb, Greene Co. board):

"John Johnson served in the Revolutionary War and his widow received land in the land lottery."

"John Johnson's widow received a land grant for his service in the revolutionary war."

Lundie Barlow notes:

"Note from the minutes of White Plains Baptist Church: John Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson, charter members of this church, organized 1806, White Plains, Georgia."

"John Johnson, in his will dated 13 December 1814, bequeathed to his wife, Elizabeth Johnson, six negro slaves including Peter and Mariah."

"Note from page 174 of Houston's reprint of Eligiblees for the 1827 Land Lottery: Elizabeth Johnson, widow of a Revolutionary Soldier, Hancock County, Georgia" [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

Biography
The earliest document record of a Nathaniel Parker being the father of Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee and the Elder John Parker is from page 16 of the 1934 book The History of the Daughhetee's. It's unknown whether the above referenced confusion of the Nathaniel Parker of Sumner Co. TN. as the father was already occurring. If so, then Nathaniel Parker as the father may be a red herring and the early Baltimore County, MD. records need to be searched for the parents of the Elder John Parker, Daniel Parker, Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee, Arron Parker.....

Per the Elder John Parker's 1833 Coles Co., IL Revolutionary War pension application he was born 6 Sept 1758 in Baltimore Co., MD., so his mother and father were residing in Baltimore Co., MD as of 1758. By 1777 the family of the Elder John Parker was residing in Culpeper Co., VA. when he served his first 12 months in his revolutionary war militia unit, and another 12 month tour in 1779. The Elder John Parker's eldest son Daniel Parker was born 5 Apr. 1781 in Culpeper Co., VA. per a biography referenced below. Culpeper Co., VA. (#5 on 1751 map) is roughly 125 miles from Patterson Creek, Ft. Ashby, Hampshire Co., VA. (#6 on 1751 map) where the Nathaniel Parker and his father John Parker of Parker yDNA FG#18 were concurrently living. Roughly three days of traveling by a horse each way.

Per the University of Tennessee yDNA website for Parker yDNA Family Group #5 the oldest known ancestor was Elisha Parker born 1630 England, died 1717 Woodbridge, Middlesex County, N.J. (#1 on 1751 map) Then in the next county south is a Thomas Parker born 1737 Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J. and died in 1832 Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J. There's also George Parker who died in Worcestor (now Wicomico) Co., MD (#2 on 1751 map) in 1770 in southeast Maryland. The distance from Middlesex Co., N.J. to Worcestor Co., MD. may mean that these were two separate points of emigration for Parker yDNA FG#5 into the colonies. Given the proximity of Middlesex Co., N.J. (#1 on map) to Philadelphia, PA (#3 on 1751 map) and the Great Wagon Road west to Baltimore Co., MD.(#4 on 1751 map), the Middlesex Co., N.J. Parker's may be the origin point to the colonies for the Elder John Parker and his siblings ancestors.

Per the Elder John Parker's pension application, he resided in Culpeper Co., VA. (#5 on 1751 map) as of the time he entered Revolutionary War service. The Elder John Parker's son Daniel Parker, Daniel was born in 1781 Culpeper Co., VA, migrated with his parents to Elbert Co. GA. in 1785. then to Franklin Co., Georgia where Daniel Parker was baptized, then in June 1803 started the trek to Turnbull Creek, Dickson Co., TN. The Elder John Parker's brother Daniel Parker also migrated from Georgia to Dickson Co. TN and was the first preacher at the Turnbull Primitive Baptist Church in 1806.

Birth

It's unproven if the Elder John Parker's father Nathaniel Parker was ever in Hampshire County, VA. (#6 on 1751 map).

The 1730 and 1803 dates found in most family trees for the Elder John Parker's father Nathaniel Parker were taken from Jay Guy Cisco's 1909 Book 'Historic Sumner County, TN. but those dates apply to Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) commonly stated to have been born 1730 and died 1803 in Cisco's book of Parker yDNA Family Group #18 who was previously merged with the Nathaniel Parker who may have married Ann Clayton as stated in this profile.

If the 1934 'The Daughhetee Family of Estill County, Kentucky' is correct in that Susannah (Parker) Daughhetee's father was a Nathaniel Parker, and if the Elder John Parker's father migrated to Baltimore County, MD. from the Middlesex County, N.J. area, then research should focus there. See Parker Heritage discussion.

Marriage

There is a 1919 Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Vol. 53, R.R. Bowker Company, page 575 query for a John Parker as the son of Nathaniel Parker and his wife, Ann Clayton, but it does not say he is the Elder John Parker. This query says she's supposed to be a daughter of John Clayton and Elizabeth Whiting of Gloucester Co., VA. John Clayton was born in England, 1685, and died in Gloucester Co., Va. 1773. He was an eminent botanist and had a botanical garden on his estate, which he called "Windsor". He married Elizabeth Whiting, 1723, and had several sons and daughters.

A 1924 DAR Lineages book on page 104 shows Nathaniel Parker and Ann Clayton were the parents of the John Parker born 17 Dec 1755 & died after 1801 of King & Queen County, VA. That John Parker had been listed by the DAR as the son of the Nathaniel Parker who migrated from Hampshire Co. VA. to Sumner Co. TN.., but that has been disproved, and the DAR states he is not this mans son. The Nathaniel Parker of Sumner County, TN's son John Parker 1765-1831 has been proved (2 sources) to have migrated to Shelby County, KY where he died in 1831.

Generally daughters married in the county that their parents lived in, so if that holds, then their daughter Ann Clayton married in Gloucester Co., VA. Gloucester Co. , VA is roughly 170 miles away from Baltimore Co. MD. where the Elder John Parker per his 1833 Coles County, IL. Revolutionary War pension application was born. This raises the question of whether two different Ann Claytons have been merged over time. One in Baltimore County, MD. and the other in Gloucester Co., VA.

Children

Using Wikipedia's female fertility chart and Ann Clayton's estimated birth year of 1726, then she would have been able to bear children between 1744 and 1771. Any child associated with her after 1771 is statistically unlikely to be a child of Ann Clayton.

Children currently assigned to this Nathaniel Parker are:

And several of the children of Nathaniel Parker 1724-1811 of Parker yDNA FG#18 who died at Greenfield, Sumner Co., TN. with burial near the old Fort Morgan, specifically Susannah Parker 1765-1803 (married Charles Beeler), John Parker 1765-1831(married 1st Mary Rogers, 2nd Sarah Collier), Elizabeth Parker 1766-aft 1826 (married Michael Collier), Thomas Parker 1768-1846 (married Susan Rogers), Richard Parker 1770-1838 (married Nancy Rogers), Nathaniel Parker 1775-1857 (married 1st Sally Ramsey, 2nd Lucretia Penny), Isaac Parker 1776-1846 (married Agnes Bartlet), Mary Parker 1779-1828 (married William Thompson), Aaron Parker 1781-1804 and Robert Parker 1783-1870 (married Martha 'Patsy' Martin).

Death

The only Will for a Nathaniel Parker in Sumner County, TN is the will of the Nathaniel Parker 1724-1811 in Parker yDNA Family Group #18 who died after June of 1811. The only other documents in the will/probate records section related to Nathaniel Parker is a 1790 Power of Attorney for the purchase of land, and a 1803 Bond record for Nathaniel Parker, Jr. 1775-1857 of Parker yDNA Family Group #18 to be a constable. This suggests that the Nathaniel Parker in Parker yDNA Family Group # 5 died elsewhere.

A search of the Georgia Archives 'Virtual Vault' finds no records for a Nathaniel Parker in their records, so if the Nathaniel Parker in this profile was the father of the Elder John Parker 1758-1836 and his siblings, he died before the migration to Georgia from Culpeper Co., VA., or he migrated elsewhere.

Nathaniel married Ann Marie CLAYTON about 1744 in Culpepper County, Virginia. Ann (daughter of John CLAYTON and Elizabeth Catherine WHITING) was born on 1 Jan 1726 in Glouchester County, Virginia; died in Jan 1790 in Hampshire County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The father of your Jacob McCarty was probably Daniel McCarty. In 1782 Daniel left a will in Lincoln Co., NC (which is excerpted in Grace Davidson's Historical Collections of the Georgia Chapters of the DAR, Vol. II) that mentions (among others) his son Jacob and his son-in-law Hugh Blair. It sounds as if this is your Jacob, and he named a son for his brother-in-law. I'm descended from Daniel via his daughter Olivia, who married Samuel Johnston (whose will is also excerpted in the same volume). Daniel's wife's name was Agnes, although I do not know if she was Jacob and/or Olivia's mother. He also mentions property left him by Cornelius McCarty - perhaps his father, perhaps an uncle or brother.

WRIGHTSBOROUGH was on Town Creek, 16 miles from Appling, in McDuffie Co., Ga. On July 3, 1770, the general assembly of Georgia granted to Joseph Maddock (or Mattock) and Jonathan Still a tract of 40,000 acres of land in St. Paul's Parish, to be held in trust for the Quakers. Here they began their town, which they named for Sir James Wright, governor of the colony.

Revolutionary Papers Connected with the History of Columbia
We, the inhabitants of the town of Wrightsborough and places adjacent, understanding that fourteen persons have drawn up several resolutions respecting the disputes between Great Britian and the town of Boston, concerning the destroying of a quantity of tea, the property of the East India company, and have published them as the act of the Province, and which we look upon as a great imposition, having no knowledge of them till after they were passed: therefore we do, in this public manner, deny passing any concering them, and disapprove of them altogether, such proceedings as a few acting for the whole without their knowledge, we apprehend being contrary to the rights and privileges of every British subject.
