Notes for JONATHAN PARKER:
Prior to the Civil War, Jonathan and most of his descendants were farmers.
Jonathan first settled on Jonathan's Creek in Haywood County, (then part of Buncombe
County). Family tradition has it that Jonathan's Creek was named for Jonathan parker. Jonathan moved to Cherokee County in
1829 and acquired a large boundary of land near Marble from the state of North Carolina. Also, this land later had several
marble quarries and three talc mines, and the finishing plant of the Columbia Marble County. Jonathan Parker raised his family
in Valley Township, Cherokee County, N.C.
