Alan, I did like you said and ordered both files..The Willis one is OK, but the Parker one seems to be a mix of 2 different Parkers..

One sheet says he served with Co. D 1st regt. Texas Inf and was captured in Jackson Miss and took the Oat and returned to Mo. Then he was captured again ind sent to Camp Morton, Ind. I don't think these are my Parkers but who knows...I must find the answer before I log it in.

CAn you help...My James Parker was born 1835 per his tombstone and died 1915 in Ardmore, Ok...He married S>A. Willis's ex wife in 1867 in Hunt Co, Greenville..
