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.....

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:

01 Daniel Parker born 15 Mar 1750 (Baltimore Co., MD. ??); died bef. 6 Apr 1818 Dickson Co., TN.
02 Elder John Parker born 6 Sep 1758 Baltimore County, MD. per his 22 Oct 1833 Coles County, IL Revolutionary War Pension application. Died 6 Sep 1836 Fort Parker, TX.
03 Susannah Parker born btwn. 1762-64; died 1816 Estill County, KY.; married John Haughhetee, Estill County, KY. abt. 1781. Her first child, Rachel was born 12 July 1782. See the 1934 book The Daughhetee Family of Estill County, Kentucky.
04 Aaron Parker born by/before 1770 Baltimore Co. MD.; died 1833 Copiah County, Mississippi

Other children confused as to belong to Parker yDNA Family Group #5, but actually belong to other Parker yDNA Family Groups are:

01 Moses Parker born 26 Aug 1744; died 12 Nov 1830 Marlboro Co., S.C. belongs to Parker yDNA Family Group #7
02 Thomas Parker born 8 Jan 1757, died 18 Dec 1819 (will dated 1810) Sumner Co. TN.; married Juda Renfro. He belongs to Parker yDNA FG #15.
03 John Parker born abt. 1760 died 1825 Sumner Co. TN.; married Rhoda Renfro. He belongs to Parker yDNA FG#15.

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]

(1761 FHC MF # 0186355) Robert Parker was executor.

"Fort John Parker" from "Frontier Forts Along the Potomas and ItsTributaries" by William H. Answel, Jr. Exerpts: "This defense was located on Lot #44 of the Fairfax South Branch survey...two and one half miles southeast of Springfield, West Virginia..
On November 9, 1756, the "fort at Parker's on the South Branch" was included with the list of defenses extending across the Virginia frontier, and it was stated to be ten miles from Ashby's fort on Patterson's Creek and was garrisoned with thirty men.
On June 13, 1756, while at Fort Cumberland, Washington wrote to Captain Robert McKenzie ordering him to instruct Lieutenant Neugent of the King George militia to immediately proceed with his command to John Parker's on the South Branch and while there, not only protect the inhabitants about the fort but to also assist them in harvesting their crops...
Fort Parker was named for John Parker, the owner of the real estate upon which it was constructed, he having purchased Lot #44 consisting of 350 acres from Thomas Lord Fairfax on July 24, 1749..The foundation stones supporting the buildings can still be seen at the location. About 200 feet north of the fort is an ancient cemetery, the graves marked with native stone, but without inscriptions of any kind. The persons buried there are unknown. It may have been a Parker family cemetery and John Parker, the early settler might be interred therein. The since the gravestones are unmarked, it could well have been a burial ground for the Parker family slaves.
Indians were in the vicinity of this fort on several occasions during the war. In September, 1756, Ensign Charles Smith of the Sixth Company of the Virginia Regiment, while on a scout with twelve men on the south Branch and in the vicinity of Fort Parker, encountered a band of Indians and after a short skirmish, one savage was killed and Smith's men captured several scalping knives, together with four French muskets.
John Parker died in 1760 before the Indian troubles were over. He left surviving his wife, Elizabeth, who later married Thomas McGuire; four sons, Robert, Richard, Nathanial and Aaron; two daughters, Elizabeth, who married John Hall (sic) and Catherine, who married William Forman."
Mineral Co. library - family sketch - John Parker comes from England in 1749. The writer confuses John and Elizabeth with a later John Parker, wife Mary, who sold land and bought after 1761. States that Catherine was the daughter of John and Elizabeth
Martha Redford papers - Johnson Co. Historical Society. States that John Parker was the owner of 2821 acres in Hampshire County, VA and also several slaves.

Notes:

While various researchers have hypothesized that Elizabeth (unknown) maiden name Taliaferro, Bond or Giles, no known document confirms such a hypothesis. I will only use Taliaferro as "most likely" - unproven.

Her husband John Parker 1700-1760's will lists his wife as 'Elizabeth' but she was the step-mother to his children. John Parker 1700-1760's 1st wife was Catherine Pearson. See link to 'Origins of John Parker 1700-1760 on the SOURCE tab for the PROOF.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hopewell Township, Washington, PA 1792 'Will' of Thomas McGuire states that his wife's name was Mary Randles and that prior to moving to Hopewell he lived in Hampshire Co., VA. I've only seen records for one Thomas McGuire in Hampshire Co., VA. and his 2nd wife was Elizabeth Parker (*) (died in 1786), the widow of John Parker who died in Nov 1760.

A 1765 Hampshire Co., VA land indenture (attached in Sources) states that "Thomas McGuire and his wife Elizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker' transfer land to John Parker's children. Nathaniel, Robert, Aaron, Richard, Elizabeth Nalles, and Catharine Foreman that had belonged to John Parker their father.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
* - Note" IF the estimated birth year for Ellizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker is correct, then she would have been about 56 years of age when she married Thomas McGuire and thus statistically unlikely to have borne any children during her marriage to Thomas McGuire.

12 June, 1765--Hampshire Co. Va.--Catherine Y. Foreman signs a deed which partitions the lands of her father John Parker among herself and William Foreman, her mother (widow of John Parker), and her siblings.

11 May, 1779--Catherine Foreman to John Williamson: 200 acres for 200 pounds on Little Cacapon about 1/2 mile above the Buffalo Lick plus an additional 150 acres on the North Branch Potowmack River from her father, John Parker. Ref; Hampshire Co VA Deed Bk 8, Page 141. (signed 2 deeds in Hampshire county on 11 May 1779 and 14 Nov 1780.) The land was allotted and assigned to William Foreman dec'd then the husband of the said Catherine being part of her share of her dec'd father John Parker by a deed of partition dated 12 June 1765 between the following: Thomas McGuire and his wife, late Elizabeth Parker, relict of said John Parker; Robert Parker, Richard Parker; Nathaniel Parker; Aaron Parker; John Nall and wife Elizabeth and the said William Foreman and wife Catherine. The last eight persons being sons and daughters and the husbands of the daughters.
