"Nathaniel Parker was born in Hampshire, VA, about 1730. He served under
Washington in the attack of the French at Duquesne. He also served under
Captain Jack against the Indians. He was fond of adventure as were most
men of this day, and wandered through the wilderness of Pennsylvania and
Northwest Virginia fearless of Indian foes. He may be classed with the
long hunters as he spent much of his time hunting and exploring; being
out often by himself for long periods of time. He made several journeys
from his native State to the Cumberland country and back.
"While in Sumner County, he spent most of his time at Greenfield. Before
the Indian troubles ceased, he removed his young children (his wife bei
dead) to Sumner Country and built a house near Greenfield. That house is
still standing and is occupied by Mr. Robert Bryson. Some years after
the death of Colonel Anthony Bledsoe, Mr. Parker married the widow, he
being 63 at the time and she 60 years of age. He died in 1803 and was
buried near the site of the old Morgan Fort on land now belonging to a
Mr. Johnson.
"Nathaniel Parker had seven sons. The three eldest, John, Thomas and
Richard married sisters, Misses Rogers, members of the same family as
General George Rogers Clark. The eldest, John, never came to Tennessee.
The other sons were: Nathaniel, Jr., Isaac, Aaron an Robert. From these
sons of Nathaniel Parker have descended many prominent people of Sumner
County and elsewhere. George W. Parker was a lawyer of eminence at
Gallatin. He went to Missouri where he died. His wife was the sister of
Honorable Batte Peyton. Hon. James M. Head, former Mayor of Nashville,
Tenn. and Doctor Head of Sumner County." (Source: HISTORIC SUMNER
