Note

David Parker, the second son of Edward Parker according to the will lived only a few years after the death of his father. On the first day of March of the year of 1825, the children of the deceased David Parker: Henry S. Parker, Uriah C. Parker, and Susannah, the wife of Ishmael Bailey let John C. Carter all of Rowan County, North Carolina have 160 acres of land on Bear Creek next to John C. Carter, Lawrence Clement and Daniel Hendricks for the consideration of $700.00. We see from the above deed that David Parker died a short time before March 1, 1825 and left three children namely: Henry S. Parker, Uriah C. Parker, and Susannah, the wife of' Ishmael Bailey.

Henry S. Parker the son of David Parker was a man of excellent character and remarkable ability.
