Elizabeth Scott born about 1740 married Nathaniel Parker of Hampshire County, VA about 1764. She died between Oct 1783 and about 1788 as she was deceased before her husband Nathaniel Parker migrated to Sumner County, TN. She was the daughter of Thomas Scott. Her brother John Scott was the father of Ohio State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott who wrote a letter in Oct 1851 wherein he stated:
"My father's sister Elizabeth, intermarried with Mr. Nathaniel Parker. He owned a beautiful well-kept cultivated farm and mills, two or three miles above the town of Frankfort on Patterson's creek, in Hampshire County, Virginia. He was a man of more than ordinary industry, economy and enterprise, and owned considerable wealth. My aunt had three daughters and seven sons by him, namely, Susannah, Elizabeth and Polly, John, Thomas, Richard, Aaron, Robert, Isaac and Nathaniel. Susannah intermarried with Charles Beeler. More than sixty years since they removed and settled at Manslick [early salt works] a few miles from Louisville Kentucky. They had several children, but are both now deceased. Neither the names nor the places of their descendants are to me known. Elizabeth intermarried with Col. Michael Collyer [Collier] and John 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. After the decease of my aunt, Mr. Parker with the residue of his sons and daughters, their families removed to the state of Tennessee, where he intermarried with the widow of Col. Bledsoe deceased, but report says they did not live happily together."
Elizabeth, as the first wife’s given name is reinforced by the 1828 Francis and Pamelia A. (Parker) Duffy family bible wherein it states:
"Thomas Parker was born 29th February A.D. 1768; he was the son of Nathaniel Parker and his wife Elizabeth"
&
"Susana Rogers wife of Thomas Parker was born 11th April 1773; she was the daughter of William Rogers and Sarah his wife. Susana was born in Hampshire County, Virginia."

Elizabeth, as his first wife's given name is reinforced by oral tradition that Bethpage, TN. was "named by Nathaniel Parker in memory of his deceased wife Elizabeth" as noted in the Bethpage Methodist Church History [http://www.tntcarden.com/tree/ensor/EnsorSMChurches2.html ]
A large number of family files suggest his wife was Ann Clayton and she was born about 1726, although they provide no supporting documentation. A Wikipedia chart shows the percentage of decline of ovarian reserve related to increasing age. Using the 1726 birth year, then statistically any child listed as born after 1771 is unlikely to be a child of Ann Clayton. For most families who are actually descended from the Nathaniel Parker of Sumner County, TN who died in 1811, it means that Nathaniel Parker, Jr born 1775; Isaac Parker born 1776; Mary Parker born 1779; Aaron Parker born 1781; and Robert Parker born 1783 are statistically unlikely to be children of Ann Clayton as she would have been 49, 50, 53, 55 and 57 years old when they were born and her ovarian reserve would have been depleted.
