Notes:

"Rachel Butler, born about 1800 and died between 1842 and 1850 in Sampson County, married John Parker, born about 1790, son of William Parker (son of John Parker and Rachael Sessoms) and Nancy Owen (daughter of John Owen and Anna Hayes). They had at least nine children. William and the children are listed in the 1850 Census of Sampson County." from The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina. Oscar M. Bizell, Ed. The Sampson Co. Historical Society, Newton Grove, North Carolina, 1983, p. 332.

The Parker family tree (done by B. F. Bulard) found in the vertical file in the North Carolina Gen. Library lists only four children for John Parker and Rachael "Sessums." Additional info. on the children comes from a chart by William Alderman Parker. I am using his order and his dates for their births. "John Parker was born in Edgecombe Co., North Carolina, as was his wife, and after they were married they moved to that part of Duplin Co. which later became Sampson, or near Owensville, which name was later changed to Roseboro." - William Alderman Parker "John Parker moved from Edgecombe Co. to Sampson Co. In visiting the relatives back in Edgecombe he had to cross two rivers (Neuse and Tar) which placed them north of the Tar River. He and his wife rode horse-back on such trips. One John Parker of Edgecombe Co., bought 80 acres on Dividing Creek in Duplin Co. July 12, 1758, from Jeremiah Bullard, of Duplin Co." Information on this family comes from the North Carolina Genealogical Library vertical file. William Alderman Parker (b. 13 Mar 1879- d. ?) compiled the information. (p. 61)

I have a copy of John Parker's will dated 23 Apr 1800. He gives his wife Rachel 1100 acres of land including the plantation he now lives on between the Little Coharie and South Rivers. He names his sons Josiah Parker, John Parker, William Parker, Nicholas , and______ Parker and his daughters _______ Clark and Elizabeth Parker. Others are also named but I can't read the will very well.

"John Parker, who came from the Tarr River area, was founder of historical Andrews Chapel United Methodist Church (formerly Parkers Meeting House) of Roseboro." from The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina. Oscar M. Bizell, ed. The Sampson Co. Historical Society, Newton Grove, North Carolina, 1983, p. 543.
The stained glass window over the door of Andrews Chapel reads: Andrews Chapel Meth. Church founded by John Parker 1785 Present Location 1842 "John Parker's home was a regular preaching place for as far back as 1785. He raised a large family, all of whom, with one exception, were worthy and pious persons." from The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina. Oscar M. Bizell, Ed. The Sampson Co. Historical Society, Newton Grove, North Carolina, 1983, p. 81.

[William Alderman Parker lists John Parker (born ca. 1720) as one of the children of Isaac Parker (along with Jonathan Parker). The birthdates of the other, apparently older children since they were listed before John, Jonathan (1735) and James (1736), do not seem to support this idea. John Parker's first child Luke was born in 1739. A letter from Robert Wallace Parker to William Alderman Parker found in the Vertical file in the North Carolina Gen. Library mentions Isaac Parker of Northampton Co., North Carolina, and his children: Joseph, Samuel, Jonathan, Sarah, Jonas, Charity, Chestnut, Mary, Nancy, and James. Susannah and John, whom William Alderman Parker names as children in the same family are not named. Joseph and Chestnut are not listed in W. A. Parker's listing. Until I am able to positively identify a direct link between Isaac and John Parker, I am going to assume that they are not directly related. John Parker had roots in Edgecombe Co. and Isaac Parker and his family seem to have been from Northampton Co. SCS]

from Susan Parker Caison Sharp

John Parker, who was born about 1725 in North Carolina, moved from Edgecombe County to Duplin County about 1757. He settled along the west side of Little Coharie Creek in the part of Duplin that became Sampson County in 1784. John Parker became a prominent landowner and planter is considered the first Methodist in Sampson County. Services were held in his house as early as 1785. In 1788, Bishop Francis Asbury of the Methodist Church preached at the Parker home on his trip through North Carolina. A "skeleton pulpit" was built for the occasion and was kept by family members for many years. John's son, Francis, became a Methodist minister and was reportedly ordained by Bishop Asbury. William, Thomas, Sessums and Nicholas Parker, all sons of John, were "worthy and pious men" who helped establish Methodism in Sampson County.

After John's death about 1805, the old home place where services had been held for twenty years, passed to his son Luke Parker, who was considered irreligious. Luke, however, deeded two acres of land for ten shillings on October 2, 1809, for the purpose of erecting a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1816, a log church was built on the property at the urging of Nicholas Parker and was known as Parker's Meeting House. In 1842, the church moved to its present location, a short distance from the original site and is known today as Andrews Chapel Methodist Church.

It is interesting to note that although John Parker was a devout Methodist, he owned a still to produce alcoholic spirits. In his will, he included a specific bequest of the "still" to his son, Luke Parker. The inventory of his estate, taken in 1806, included "1 Three gallon jug the same full of brandy" and "1 case of 14 half Gallon Bottles 7 of them full of brandy." Stills were valuable property owned by prosperous persons in early America and were commonly passed on by the owners to their wives or children in their wills.

[about Andrews Chapel] "On the 2nd of October 1809, a plot of land containing two acres was given by Luke Parker for the sum of 10 shillings, or $1.25, to trustees, viz. Nicholas Parker, William Parker, Thomas Parker, Owen Owens and William Miller, for the purpose of erecting a house of worship for the use of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1816, a church was built of logs and called Parkers Meeting House, mainly through the influence of Nicholas Parker." from The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina. Oscar M. Bizell, Ed. The Sampson Co. Historical Society, Newton Grove, North Carolina, 1983, p. 81.

Luke Parker, was born between 1770 and 1775. Luke's name does not appear in the Sampson County North Carolina census as head of a family, so he was probably still living with his parents John and Rachael (Sessums) Parker, as there was a male age 16 to 26 listed in John's household. Luke Parker was mentioned in his father's will. He was to receive Johns's plantation after Rachael died. He was also to receive following his mother's death, a 1/4 share in John's two Negroes, and a 1/3 share in all of John's stock. Parker's Meeting House was founded by John Parker and meetings were held in his home. After his death, Luke Parker deeded two acres of his plantation for the church for the amount of two shillings on October 2, 1809. The trustees were to erect and build a church for the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Luke Parker married Sophia_______. He appears as a head of family on the 1810, 1820 and 1830 census for Sampson County, North Carolina. Luke Parker served as a soldier in the War of 1812, as a member of Captain Thomas Boykin's Company, North Carolina Drafted Militia, stationed at Deepwater Point. He enlisted July 24, 1813 with the rank of private. He is listed on the muster roll dated Sept 26, 1813 as "Sick in Hospital." He was mustered out October 19, 1813 and he appears on a "Muster roll of a Detachment of Married Men Discharged, by Order of Adjutant General of North Carolina, from the Detached Militia stationed in Deepwater Point. Luke Parker appears in the minutes of the County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions. In Book 2, Court, May 10, 1801 he was ordered along with others to open stream of water called Little Cohary. The next week he was ordered again to work on Little Cohary. Court, May 12, 1806 he and others were ordered to serve in Fraziers District. Court, August 11, 1806, He worked on Little Cohary from Parkers Bridge to Magees Bridge. In Book 3, Court, August 14, 1809, Luke Parker sworn on the grand jury. Court, Nov. 13, 1809, a deed from Luke Parker to trustees of church for two acres of land was proven in Court for Registration. Court, May 21, 1810, Luke Parker and others to be Patriots in Captain Buttery's District. Court, Nov. 9, 1810, Luke Parker to be overseer of River in "room" of Owen Owens and the usual hands to work under him. Luke Parker sold 100 acres of land to John Parker, presumably his nephew, the son of William, on July 28, 1827. This parcel of land was located on the "West side of Little Cohary and on both sides of the beaver dam" and was sold for $100. This appears to be the identical tract of land which was granted to John Parker, Sr., October 29, 1782, from the State of North Carolina. Luke Parker sold to John Parker for $149 on February 5, 1828, four parcels of land on the "west side of Little Cohary" totaling 272 acres. All four parcels were located in the vicinity of the "beaver dam swam." On March 3, 1831 there was a final sale for $950 for nine tracts of land, totaling 831 acres to Silas Herring. After this sale Luke Parker and his family moved from Sampson County, North Carolina to Alachua (now Columbia) County, Florida. The move took place between March 1831, the date of the deed and April 1832, the date of the birth of Luke's last child, Henry Parker. Luke Parker served in the Second Seminole War after moving to Florida. He enlisted January 27, 1837 at Ft. Beckham in Captain Edward's Mounted Company, 1st Regiment, Warren's Florida Militia, as a private. He served until June 5, 1837. He reenlisted as a private June 16, 1837 in Captain Livingston's Company, 2nd Regiment, East Florida Mounted Volunteers, at Ft. Palmetto, and served until Dec. 18, 1837. He was mustered out at Ft. Gilliland, Florida. Luke Parker died June 8, 1838. Sophia Parker is believed to have died before 1840.
