    Willis Parker, the subject of this sketch, is one of the oldest living native Texans in the State. The father of Willis Parker, immigrated from Kentucky in 1822, and located in Texas near old Nacogdoches, as a member of the Robinson Colony. There Willis Parker was born Nov. 8, 1825 (1824 or 1826?). Later on the family moved near Huntsville, where Mr. Parker was mostly raised. There and elsewhere in the State, the family have since lived, and evidences of their sojourn still remain in such names as Parker Fort and Parker County (both were named after Parkers not directly linked to Willis, ie. cousins/uncles). The residence of Gen. Sam Houston in which he died, stood on the land patented by the father of Mr. Parker. The battle San Jacinto, Mr. Parker distinctly remembers. He was then a boy nearly 11 years old. After the battle he and others of the family, being alarmed by a false report that Houston was defeated, walked to Nacogdoches to escape the Mexicans, as they thought. The general stampede occasioned by this report has since been known in history as the "Runaway Scrape." The father of Mr. Parker was in this battle; took sick before he left the service and never fully recovered, dying five years after (His father, Wiley, died in 1847).

    Texas was then a wilderness full of Indians, revengeful and bloodthirsty. Mr. Parker has vivid recollections of a number of raids when he, with the other children, were rushed into hiding by their mother to escape the red men. Cynthia Ann Parker, whose romantic history every schoolboy knows, was a first cousin (actually second cousins) of Mr. Parker. Her father being Jim Parker (actually Silas M. Parker), an uncle of Mr. Willis Parker. He was within two miles of the scene when she was stolen, and was himself in hiding at the time. This occurred at what was then called Parker's Fort, when Willis Parker was about 13 years old. (Above it was stated that Willis was 11 when the Battle of San Jacinto occurred and the Fort Parker massacre happened within 3 months of San Jacinto. I believe he was around 12 during both.)

    As a young man Mr. Parker fought Indians under Capt. Thomas and Wadkins, and ranged practically all over the State. At the outbreak of the Mexican War all his horses were pressed into the service, and his cattle taken also. In return he was given government scrip, which the Federal authorities forgot to repay. He afterwards entered the United States army and was detailed by Tom L. Smith to haul provisions for the Rangers from old Washington to Fort Gates. He remained in the service till the close of the war, and was at the battle of Monterey. His captain was Jim Gillespie, Jack Hays Regiment, in General Taylor's command.

    Mr. Parker, having a large family to support, never entered the Confederate service, but furnished beeves for the penitentiary and frighted cotton to Brownsville, for which he was granted certain conditions of exemption from active services. He owned a number of slaves, cattle, horses and lands situated on the line of Walker county, all of which was lost as a result of the war, leaving him comparatively a poor man.

    Being well stricken in years at the breakup, Mr. Parker was unable to retrieve his losses, but has maintained himself and family in comfort, and has not been assisted by either State or Federal government except a Mexican War pension, which he has been drawing the last several years.

    Mr. Parker now lives in Lee county. He has been twice married, both wives now dead, and has been the father of eight sons and daughters, three of whom are still living. These themselves are now well up in years and have families of grown children.

    "Uncle Willis" lives in retirement and seclusion, innocently unconscious of his importance as an historical figure. A man, he is childlike in his simplicity, loved by all his associates, and thankful that, through he is poor, he has been allowed to journey so long in the land of his birth.

    Notes:

    She is from this line of Crockers of Isle of Wright. Some researchers say she is daughter of Anthony and some say Arthur. The various trees on line of have very few birth dates and those can vary widely.
    Nevertheless, this line of Crockers does have a Middleton connection; her daughter married a Porter,and those lines merged into my ancestors cousin, Samuel Porter Middleton. So, there is continuity if not exactly.
