Joseph Parker was born in PA (per 1850 census), but was living in Campbell County, KY and farming when he married Elizabeth "Eliza" WARRINGTON on 12-27-1835. The KY records state, "m. by JV, b William Parker, brother-in-law who swore Eliza "has resided with him 4 or five years," her father is dead and her mother now resides in Wheeling, WVA". So, Eliza had a sister who also married a Parker. The 1850 Census of Campbell County, Northern Kentucky, Part II., 2nd District, Aug. 22, Schedule 109 lists: Joseph, 35; Eliza, 25; Sarah J., 12; Elizabeth, 10; James, 8; Robert, 6; and John K. Parker, 65, born in PA (whom we assume is Joseph's father).
Some of our information comes by a Parker/Warrington Family bible, we aren't sure who wrote the information down in it. Eliza's family came from PA. Joseph and family moved to Pike Co, Il after 1850 census in KY and in 1861 Joseph was killed by a falling tree while cutting timber, he is buried in New Canton, IL, Eliza is still living there in 1880's.
Eliza never remarried, approximate 1890 moved to Atwood, Kansas and then to homestead land nearby Goodland, KS. Her brother-in-law, George Halstead, signed her homestead paperwork in 1885 stating that she'd lived in KS so we think she took her family there to follow family. At this time her sister, Amanda was living in Grand Island, NE. They eventually move to Hastings, NE and by 1903, according to Robert Parker's obit, they move to Council Bluffs, IA (Elizabeth, son Robert and daughter, Margaret Dudley and her 3 children) where all (the adults) were buried.
