WILLIAM T. PARKER, farmer, P. O. Carlisle; was born near Carlisle in
Nicholas County, Feb. 18, 1850, to Robert and Eliza (Donnell) Parker (see
Donnell history).  Robert Parker was a native of Nicholas County, died
Jan. 11, 1879, in his seventy-first year, he was a son of Charles Parker,
a native of Maryland; came to Kentucky at an early date; he a son of
Thomas.  The mother of Robert was Tabitha Johnson; his step-mother was
Hannah Collins.  The subject of this sketch received the limited
advantages of a country school, and remained on the farm with his father
assisting in the farm work, until about twenty-four years of age, when he
purchased the Fielding Letton farm of 123 acres, where he now resides,
and which he has under a high state of cultivation.  He was married July
20, 1871, to Miss Jennie Smith, daughter of B. W. Smith, whose sketch
appears in this work; by this marriage there have been two children born
until them, Sarah Lovina, June 15, 1873; and Robert Luther, April 23,
1877.  Mr. Parker is an enterprising young man, doing well whatever he
undertakes, and manifesting an interest in the improvement of stock and
farm products.
