Looking for Parker and Pittman descendants!!!!!!

Question

My g g grandmother, Daisy Mary Caroline Parker, born in South Carolina in 1884. Second wife of Marion Dekalb Kelley Sr.. Daughter of Sarah Bell Pittman. Native American, not sure which, either Yemassee or Cherokee. Looking for fathers name and far back as possible, as well as Pittman.

Answer 1

This appears to be the correct family making her father a John L(awrence) Parker born abt Feb. 1863 and marrying Sarah Belle Pittman abt 1883.  There is no indication on the census records of race - other than white.  You might want to use the free search tool at familysearch.org to try to find more on this family by plugging in names and dates from the census data.
