   As to the birth and death years for Nathaniel Parker of Hampshire County, VA and later Sumner County, TN. Jay Guy Cisco's 1909 book 'Historic Sumner County, TN.'[1] states Nathaniel Parker was born about 1730 and died in 1803. These dates were based upon interviews and 1904 letters found in Parker in America. However a circa 1860 family bible [2] of a g-granddaughter of Nathaniel Parker of Sumner County, TN. states the Sumner County, TN. Nathaniel Parker was born in 1724. And the Sumner County, TN. Nathaniel Parker's will was written on the 25 Feb 1811 [3], he sold land to his son Thomas Parker (my ancestor) in 4 June 1811, and his Estate Inventory/Estate Sale was filed in the Sumner County, TN court in Sumner County, TN court on April 1812. The family bible is more definitive as to when the Hampshire County, VA. Nathaniel Parker was born and between the date of his will and the Estate Inventory, the 1811 date is more definitive as to when he died, ergo Nathaniel Parker(1724-1811)
   
   The Parker DNA page has the following dates which have been proven inaccurate: Nathaniel PARKER, born 1730 in Hampshire County, Virginia, died in 1803 in Sumner County Tennessee.
