| Notes: | Working hypothesis of various descendants of Luraney "Lewraney" Parker is that she descends from John Parker and his wife Rachel Sessums of North Carolina (see hypothesized ancestry on Rootsweb.com in youngfamily database by Cathy Powers <kcpowers@arn.net>). Carroll Clark kindly shared well-documented source of information on background of Luraney Parker Clark of Lexington Co., South Carolina (in email 15 May 2002): Parker and Blount in Florida, 1983, by Westergard, Virginia W., and Kyle S. Van Landingham. Library of Congress call Number CS71.P24 c1983. 375 p. Portion online: http://www.lamartin.com/genealogy/parker%20and%20blount%2011.htm. We seek further documentation to show when and how Luraney Parker may have met her future husband, Gregory Clark. |
