Mart as he was known was married first to Mary Coal (Cole) and second to Barbara Sylvania DeFoor. He was a moonshine runner in Marion County Alabama in the early 1910"s and after a stint in Jail was eventually murdered by some of his old running buddies. Willie Fredrick was suspected of the murder. Any information on Mart or his Parentage is appreciated. Parents are believed to be Teletha or Telitha Ernest, who died of typhoid in Alabama in 1909 along with her elder son Tandy Jack and John Parker.
His children were Cynthia Melissa Ann Parker b. 1906 married William Frederic and had 8 children before she died in a hospital in Birmingham, Alabam of Tuberclosis at age 34. Mary Lillie Telitha Abia Parker, b. 11 Jan. 1908 married Oscar Robert Frost, b. 29 Mar 1904 on 29 April 1922. They had 2 sons. Gordon Sampson Parker, their only son, was born on either 18 or 28 Aug 1909 never had children but was married to a woman I only remember as Beatrice and she had 2 children Gordon helped to raise. Bessie Parker their youngest child was my Gmother, b. 9 June 1912. She married Buster Brown Butler, b. 13 April 1909 and they had 9 children. I have lots of other information on the Children of Mart Parker and a great deal on the DeFoor Sims Family but I hit a wall with the Parkers, all or any help would be appreciated.
