This is in reply to Craig Asbury message.

Asberry Parker moved to Missouri. He moved to Illinois first, went back to Kentucky, went back to Illinois and finally settled in Missouri.

In the 1860 Census Jackson County, Missouri on page 443:
Parker, Asberry 52 M Farmer 150 Ky
" Mary 45 F Ky
" Mary J 20 F Ky
" Minerva 16 F Ky
" John I 14 M Ky
" Martha H 12 F Ky
" George A 8 M Ill
" Emmilietta 4 F Mo
" Benjamin F 2 M Mo
Durker, Andrew 24 M Farm hand Penn

Then on page 444, another son who had already married is listed:
Joseph Henry Parker 24 M Farmer 150 Ky
Mary 20F Ill
Richard Rhoads 51 M Farm hand Ky
Anne E 13 F Ill
Samuel 5 M Ill


Joseph Henry Parker had married Mary Rhoads. Richard Rhoads is Mary's father. Hulda (Richard's wife) had already died (as the result of child birth, her eleventh)

Asberry and Mary Richardson Parker also had a baby Sarah Jane born 27 Sep 1834, and died 18 July 1838 Kentucky.

Asberry is the only one of the children that Benjamin does not show up on his marriage as surity. However, Asberry shows up in the 1850 Census in Macoupin County Illinois, along with Joseph and Mary Lewis (Mary would be Asberry's sister) and John and Lydia Parker (John would be Asberry's brother and David and Susannah Parker (David would be Asberry's brother)

George A Parker, the 8 year old son of Asberry in the Census above is George Asberry Parker.

Mary Bird ended up in Illinois, but in Fulton County in 1850. (She would be the daughter of David Parker, Uncle to Asberry, the one that died of arsenic poison in June 1824.)

Thank you so much for the information on Sarah Asberry. marsha
