PARKER Pioneers in Fayette County, OHIO
Several PARKER families helped build OHIO.
Our branch of the PARKERs relocated from Hampshire County (WEST) VIRGINIA to Fayette County, OHIO
around 1807. However, there were other PARKERs, who we have not connected to our tree yet, living in the
Northern Territory before it became a state in 1803. (See below PARKERs in the 1800 Census of "OHIO").
However, these PARKERs were in Washington County, 150 miles and five (5) counties east of Fayette
County (which was part of Ross County and Highland County until 1810) where our PARKERs settled.
1796: Our George PARKER's granddaughter Elizabeth PARKER WOLFE was the first PARKER in what is now
Fayette County, OHIO. In fact, her husband David WOLFE is acknowledged as the first white man to settle in
Fayette County.
"From the fact that Wayne township, the southeastern in this county, was next to Ross county, and that
several of the Ross county pioneers moved across the border at a very early date, Wayne can boast
truthfully of being the first township in Fayette county where the first white men settled and remained
permanently. A man named Wolf, from Virginia, located on the North fork of Paint creek, near the Ross
county line, in 1796, hence was first of all to invade the wilds of Fayette county. This tract of land was, in
the seventies and eighties, owned by John H. Bryant, who remembers of seeing the figures "1800" on
the mud chimney of the original cabin on the place, and he is confident that it was built at least three and
possibly four years after the settlement was made by Wolf. On this land was discovered a perpetual, clear
and very cold spring of water, which no doubt induced that early settler to locate as he did. Wolf was
described, by those who remember him, as a tall, powerful man, who made hunting, trapping and killing
Indians his occupation." [BOOK: History of Fayette County, Ohio: Her People, Industries and Institutions,
Frank M. Allen, 1914, [S337], OhioGenealogyExpress.com, GoogleBooks]
[quote]
David Wolf was in the Chillicothe, [Ross County] Ohio area about 1796, built a cabin, then returned to
Virginia to move his family.
Fayette County is situated in the South-Western section of the State of Ohio. Paint Creek runs through
the central section of the county, flowing from north to south. Rattlesnake creek also parallels the Paint,
flowing from north to south, on the west side of the county, joining with the Paint in Highland County,
exiting into Ross County and joining with the Scioto River at Chillicothe. The North Fork of Paint Creek
also flows north to south on the eastern section of the county near the Pickaway line, and exits into Ross
County, where it joins Paint Creek near Chillicothe.
David Wolf was the original settler, the first in the Township of Lower Bristol. The cabin was constructed of
heavy and substantial timbers, and part of the beams he used for gate post, and the remainder he used in
the construction of his barn. Upon this land is a perpetual spring of clear, cool water, which undoubtedly
induced Wolf to locate in its immediate vicinity.
Wolf was described as a tall, powerful man, who made hunting and Indian killing his vocation during his
lifetime. David Wolf had evidently taken up a "squatter's claim" on land that was to be surveyed for the
Virginia Military District, on the North Fork of Paint Creek of the Lower Bristol Township, later to be known
as Concord township, Survey No. 633. This family consisted David and Elizabeth (Parker) Wolf, and nine
children.

[BOOK: A History of the Early Settlement of Highland County, Ohio by Daniel SCOTT, page 77,
1807: George PARKER, born about 1700 in colonial VIRGINIA moved his family to Hampshire County
(WEST) VIRGINIA and, in 1748-49, bought one of the first sixteen (16) lots of the Fairfax royal land grant. George's
grandson Absalom (through Benjamin), born 1764, moved his family to Fayette County, OHIO about 1807. Two (2)
of his twelve (12) children were born in Fayette County. (Details below.)
1826: John PARKER* -- born about 1685 in colonial VIRGINIA, son of Robert PARKER* -- also bought one of the
first sixteen (16) lots of the Fairfax royal land grant in in 1748-49. John PARKER*, born 1799, great
grandson of John PARKER above through Robert PARKER* and Robert PARKER*, moved to Fayette County, OHIO
in 1826 and had six (6) children who lived to be documented. [NOTE: it would be nice and tidy to assume these
PARKERs were related, but to date, we have seen no documentation to confirm their relationship. Interestingly, John
was enumerated in the 1830 Fayette Co, OHIO Census living "near" Absalom Sr. and his sons.]
1860: Joseph PARKER was born in Loudoun Co, VIRGINIA in 1778, to Joseph PARKER, b. 1738 Bucks Co,
PENNSYLVANIA, and Eliza EBLAN, b. 1748 Loudoun Co, VIRGINIA. "About the year 1813 his father [Joseph
PARKER b. 1778] crossed the mountains, on horseback, to Morgan County, Ohio, where he purchased land.
He returned home, sold his property in Virginia and the following spring brought his family, consisting then of his
wife and six children, and began anew the life of a pioneer in the green woods of Morgan County [OHIO]."
[BOOK: "History of Hancock County, Ohio…" Robert Brown, 1886, Archive.org] His two immediately older siblings
also relocation from VIRGINIA to OHIO: Cynthia PARKER b. 1775, Elizabeth PARKER b. 1776. His son Rev. Joseph
PARKER. born in 1814 in OHIO (or Loudoun Co, VIRGINIA), relocated to Warren Co, OHIO about 1845 and to
Good Hope, Fayette Co, OHIO about 1870. His son Joseph PARKER, born 1845 in Warren Co, OHIO, relocated
to Fayette County about 1860, where he was a member of the OHIO Volunteer Infantry in 1862. This Joseph lived
in Fayette County for about a decade when he relocated to TENNESSEE for about a decade, returning to Good Hope,
Fayette County shortly before his death in 1879. His son Charles B. PARKER was born in Washington C. H.,
Fayette County in 1876 and made his mark in this county.

In 1826, another branch of John PARKER moved from Hampshire County, (WEST) VIRGINIA to Fayette County, OHIO.
“John went to Ohio”
BOOK: History of Hampshire County, West Virginia: From its earliest settlement to the present, by MAXWELL and
SWISHER, c1897, [S331]
“John was a native of Virginia and when a young man came from his home in Hampshire, that state, to this locality.
He had left his family in Virginia, to remain there until he found a suitable location. This he found in the tract where
Robert, father of the immediate subject, was born. He was there for a short time, when he purchased the land and
brought his family on from the East.”
Sketch of William S. PARKER; BOOK: History of Fayette County, Ohio, Allen [S337] Excerpt
"He came to Ohio in June, 1826, and settled in Marion Township, where he remained five years, then removed to this
township, and settled on what is now well known as the Parker farm."
BOOK:"History of Fayette County [OHIO]…" R. S. Dills, [S329], Excerpt
"John Parker, who was one of the foremost pioneers of Fayette County in his day, was a Virginian by birth. He was
married in his native State to Mary A. Whiteman, who was born in the same place as himself. Soon after marriage, he
brought his bride to Ohio, in 1826, to brave the hardships and trials of frontier life, in order to build up a comfortable
home for themselves. He bought two hundred acres of land in Marion Township, but after living upon it five years,
removed with his family to Paint Township, and bought seven hundred and fifty acres of land, which he afterward
developed into one of the finest farms in the neighborhood,
