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.

[I am not sure that this is the right John Parker. The children listed as children of John Parker and Rachel Butler are the children listed in a will dated Oct. 7, 1856 and probated in Aug 1859. The wife is not named, but Rachel was apparently dead by this time. I checked this info in the 1850 census. Rachel (wife of John) was apparently dead by 1850. The approximate birth dates given in this record are from the 1850 census.]
