of Southern Hertford County
Elisha Parker 1787 - 1868 | his parents
& Penelope Dilday 1795 - ca 1868 | her parents
of Southern Dist., Hertford County NC
near present day Ahoskie
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
based on research by J Roy Parker Jr and his cousins
". .our Elisha Parker, whose residence in Hertford County
always seems to have been on what is now the road from Ahoskie to Harrellsville,
early known as Pitch Landing or Bethlehem Road. Elisha married Penelope Dilday
born in 1795. She was still alive when he wrote his will in 1868." ~ Roy
Parker
"Elisha b. 1787 became 21 in 1808 and he shows up on
the Gates Tax Lists in 1810, Abraham Cross's captaincy, (p. 61) with only
a poll-tax, and that was it. He drops out of the Gates County records that
I have on hand, so probably went to Hertford ca. 1811." ~ Ray Fouts
"In 1861 Elisha Parker deeds his farm to his son Joseph Benjamin
Parker. Hertford Co Bk A-228 Dec 1868. Deed made 10 Sept 1861. probate 7 Dec
1868.
Elisha Parker to Joseph Benjamin[son] 121 acres for $120 including two grants of
100 acres obtained by Elisha in Nov 1834, 71 acres in Nov 1835. Elisha and
present wife Penny keeping for life. . .on White Oak Swamp, adjoining Lawrence
Askew, Ely Willoughby and others. "These were 'grants' because the Hertford
County courthouse burned in 1831, and landowners who already had property were
given special 'grants' of the property they already owned. This property lies in
the eastern side of the present-day Harrellsville Road and Newsome Grove Road.
White Oak Swamp runs east-west just north of Harrellsville Road. It rises on the
east side of the town of Ahoskie and flows into Ahoskie Swamp." ~ Roy
Parker

"My husband's family
are also Parkers from Hertford/Gates/Bertie Counties.
There were just so many Parker families in that area and many with the same
names. We have only gotten back to Elisha Parker b. about 1787 in Gates
County, NC. (according to census records) and died about 1868-1869 who
married Penelope Dilday. They are both buried in the Parker Cemetery on
Harrellsville Road outside of Ahoskie on land which is still in the Joseph
Benjamin Parker family. My husband's grandfather, John Brice Parker (brother
of Joseph Benjamin), came to Texas in about 1883-1884 with his first
family
(wife & 9 children) and settled in the Dallas area where his first wife,
Martha Ann Barnes died. Then he married his second wife and proceeded to have
9 more children (my husband's father is from the second batch).
I might add that he also outlived his younger second wife and died at the age
of 86." ~ RaNell Parker

"The Elisha in 1793 was the son of Peter
Parker who died ca. 1778?, and that Peter was son of the Richard who made
his Chowan Co. will in 1749, probated 1752. The land records pretty
well prove the above Richard was dead by 1751, but that will took its own
good time in showing up." ~ Ray Fouts
