Two things :

1. Is there any original / primary source that identifies Millington as son of Parker? All we have here are derivative sources that do not themselves cite any sources for the relationship.

2. I question the validity of the cemetery named in his find a grave memorial. How could someone who died in 1829 be buried in a cemetery for confederate soldiers who died at least 31-35 years later?

Many thanks.

Hi Paul, I am a descendant of Parker thru two of his sons Hezekiah and Millington Adkins. I go through Millington thru his son to his daughter Mary Elizabeth to her daughter Dicey Bias to her daughter Eva Leona Rousey to her daughter Della O Adkins to her son Harold Meth to me. I also descend from Nancy Adkins from William Parkers sister.
