While Jay Guy Cisco's 1909 'Parker Family' story found in 'Historic Sumner County, Tennessee' states Nathaniel Parker (1724-1811) son John never came to Tennessee, a 1904 letter found on page 482 of Parker in America states that 'John, son of Nathaniel, lived in Shelbyville, KY.' (Shelbyville, is the county seat of Shelby Co. KY.) Nathaniel Parkers son John being in Shelby Co. KY. is reinforced by an 1851 letter by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott wherein he stated:
"(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." John Parker wrote his will on the 19 Jan 1832 and it was probated at the February 1832 Shelby Co., KY court. An Executor's bond was filed on the 20th February 1832 Shelby County, Kentucky court.

This John Parker is enumerated in the 1810, 1820 & 1830 Shelby Co., KY. U.S. census records.

The children of John Parker and Sarah Collier were:

One who was born in 1755 and died in 1801 King & Queen County, VA. The King & Queen Co. VA. was fathering children continually in King & Queen Co. VA. between 1774 and 1801.
