Land Grant Abstracts, "P" Surnames - Tazewell Co. VA (Submitter Note: Like the Banks family in Greenbrier County, the Parkers were renowned for land acquisitions in SW VA and in WV. Among the counties in which they acquired land were Braxton, Buchanan, Fayette, Gilmer, Grayson, Greenbrier, McDowell, Mason, Randolph, Ritchie, and Tazewell. Often, they acquired land with natives of the counties in which they were interested. The Parkers seem to have roots in Grayson County and connections in Greenbrier to the Warderers (Wardens), another family whose land acquisitions were legendary.) Edwin L. Parker, 1 Dec 1853 Hez. A.
