George Parker will abstract

1665-1900 by Thornton Mitchell (see comments)

goods and chattels for and during her natural life.

To grandson George Parker McColskey: all real estate after death of Rhoda 
Parker; black man Harry, black woman Ann, black boy George Prosper; household

Additional Comments:
The will was proved in 1861 according to the NC wills testator index, but I 
wasn't able to  easily find probate information in the microfilmed record; it's 
probably there and can be located with more thorough searching.  

It's probable that George Parker died prior to 1860 as Rhoda Parker was living 
alone in Columbus County in that census.  The household recorded just before 
hers is the family of James Parker, whose will was proved in 1885 in Columbus 
and an abstract of which is here at the archives.  I believe this is the same 
James who witnessed George Parker's will and that he was George Parker's son.  
The George and James R. McColskey who witnessed James Parker’s will were likely 
his nephew and great-nephew, respectively.  

Elizabeth Parker was married to James McColskey, whose will was probated in 
Columbus County c1870.
