I've just updated my post on Charles -- it's been in need of updating for some time -- and will update it again in the next day or two with your new information. Thanks again for sharing!Steve Soperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805054068549522404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37598678.post-2657804398257756972016-05-22T18:36:41.133-04:002016-05-22T18:36:41.133-04:00Mr. Soper,
I have found convincing evidence that ...Mr. Soper,<br /><br />I have found convincing evidence that the Charles Parker of your biography was the son of Charles Parker and Abigail Wiltha of New York. In the 1860 US Federal Census, he lives next door to his brother Henry, and Henry's death certificate has the parents' names. I found Charles' death certificate, in Spencer, Kent County, Michigan, in July 1904the month before his widow Esther applied for the widow's pension. No one was able to supply Charles' parents' names for the death certificate. Esther died 3 years later in the same town. <br /><br />You did not share the source of your research indicating that the Charles Parker you found in Livingston County in 1850 was the same Charles Parker as the soldier of your biography. I can't find any convincing evidence that they are the same. If you would like to share your source, I'd appreciate it. <br /><br />Miz Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234450729632133195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37598678.post-58051298539677862222016-05-05T09:13:55.541-04:002016-05-05T09:13:55.541-04:00Thanks, Miz -- according to my research, Charles w...Thanks, Miz -- according to my research, Charles was living in Livingston County in 1850.<br /><br />And thanks, Mrs. Maroon -- but it's Benjamin C. Parker who is buried in Tucson, not Charles Parker.Steve Soperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805054068549522404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37598678.post-11516090330432359442016-05-01T16:00:18.950-04:002016-05-01T16:00:18.950-04:00I have just created a Find-A-Grave memorial for a ...I have just created a Find-A-Grave memorial for a C. Parker who was in Company I, 3rd Michigan Infantry. Since this Charles Parker appears to be the only C. Parker in Company I, I assume it is him. The interesting thing is that the grave is in Tucson, Arizona. I am not related and have not extensively researched what he was doing in Tucson but did want to bring it to your attention.Mrs Maroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259598193447437811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37598678.post-54760797193089165862016-05-01T15:58:00.581-04:002016-05-01T15:58:00.581-04:00I think I have just created a Find-A-Grave memoria...I think I have just created a Find-A-Grave memorial for Charles Parker. The tombstone only has C. C. Parker but it says Company I, 3rd Michigan Infantry. This Charles Parker is the only C. Parker I can find that fits that. The interesting thing is that the grave is in Tucson, Arizona. I am not related and have not extensively researched it but did want to bring it to your attention since there does seem to be some question as to where he died.Mrs Maroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259598193447437811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37598678.post-87276613413594190452012-02-25T08:37:36.138-05:002012-02-25T08:37:36.138-05:00I am investigating the possibility that this Charl...I am investigating the possibility that this Charles Parker is my direct ancestor. Can you tell me if you know for sure that he is not the same Charles Parker that was in Eureka, Montcalm County, Michigan, in the 1850 US Federal Census? I am curious, because your article indicates that he lived in Montcalm County in 1900, so it seems a likely possibility. I don't live near Michigan, so I am hoping you've seen direct evidence that confirms your conclusion. Thanks, and this is a very well put-together site, by the way.Miz Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234450729632133195noreply@blogger.com
