DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mark by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Update: She was daughter of John H. Crabb according to the 1865 Census (M.W. Parker listed as his son-in-law). NOTE: Source 2 incorrectly says they were living in household of Hiram Read, but that census clearly shows them in household of John H. Crabb.
Added a profile for his first wife, Mary M. (Unknown) Parker. Found her death record in 1904 (the year before he married his second wife). So far haven't been able to find a marriage record (about 1858), so her maiden name remains unknown.
