Bingo. Parker is listed as a name associated with Saponi families.

Right surname, right location. No reason to doubt grandma. That's all I can tell you, other than to read the history article I have on the main page (Other Blackfoot), if you haven't already.

It would be important to the group if you could find out more details about her family's location and any other surnames connected with her and let her know. Not every Blackfoot family in WV has a name on the "Saponi list" but if they are connected with one that is, it tells the story.

Please let us know any more information you get about her and her family. Thanks for contacting us.
