Hello.  My ancestors were Parkers who, having come down from Isle of Wight, settled into what is today Hertford, Northampton, and Bertie. For 6 years I've been studying them, their neighbors (according to land deeds), and the families joined by marriage to them.

I'm finding the same identical full names in the 1788 Wayne Co. census index and also in deeds I've come across.
Can you tell me if there was in fact a connection between these two counties during the late 1700s and into the early 1800s? Was it land grants? Did these people migrate back and forth? Was it a Quakerism connection? I would be thrilled to read any historical information you know of, that possibly connects these two counties.
