Cynthia Ann Parker Dear Aunt Ludie, I am trying to resolve a matter that has run rampant in my family for years. It is the myth or truth that Cynthia Ann Parker is related to My Parker line. I was always told the story of the kidnapping of Cynthia Ann by wild renegades etc but have no exact proof of our lineage to her or Quannah Parker her son. Can you point me in a direction so I may close this door and move on to open another. Enclosed is the information on my Parker lineage to date. Thanks M. P. Dear M.P., There is much on the Parker line that links this county together and many descendents still live here. Your answer will be long. I will first address Cynthia Ann Parker and then I will address the Parker line in Lafayette and Columbia counties.

This positions your line of Parkers in the same area and time frame with Elder John Parker ( Cynthia Ann Parkers grandfather). Their son Elijah Parker married Frances Caroline Walker. Their son John Walker Parker who would be your 3rd great grandfather, married Eliza Ann Cooper. John and Eliza moved from Guntown, Mississippi to Columbia, County Arkansas and homesteaded land in the town of Buckner in 1872. Later John Walker and Eliza moved to Stamps. About the time they moved to Stamps it was being incoroporated. John Walker Parker was the first mayor of Stamps and held that office for several years. He was awarded a certificate from the governor and was also a justice of the peace for many years. I hope this helps your quest for your Parker connection to your white and Indian cousins. HAPPY HUNTING.
