McAleer, Jr., "Genealogy of Wyannie Malone, p37, 107. Source: History of Upper Matecumbe Key, by Jerry Wilkinson, (keyshistory.org): The previously discussed Russell and Pinder families were the first pioneers of what we now call Islamorada. William H. Parker traveled from Harbor Island, Bahamas to Key West where he married Amy Cash. They moved first to Plantation Key and then to the lower part of Upper Matecumbe, where they started their large family plus homesteaded in the 1890s. One of their sons, Edney Parker, married Edna Pinder, granddaughter of Richard Pinder. Edney and Edna had 12 children - five sons and seven daughters. The Parker cluster of homes on Upper Matecumbe Key was appropriately known as Parkerville. The Parkers became a part of the early settlement on Upper Matecumbe, along with the aforementioned Russells and Pinders. The Parkers' arrival prompted the Russells and Pinders to move the church building south to facilitate better use by the three families. Matecumbe, as it was called then, became a family community under the Russells, Pinders and Parkers, but the railroad changed the character of another Keys community. The large homesteads split into smaller units during the Flagler era from 1905 to 1935. The islands became two halves separated lengthwise by the railroad. The Russells, Pinders and Parkers sold portions of land to newcomers like the Cothrons and Careys. ----- Note: Source: http://www.keyshistory.org/firstsettlements.html. by Jerry Wilkinson. State records indicate that in 1907, William H. Parker (1910, farmer, 55) received a land patent for 171.41 acres at the southwest end of the island. This area was known as Parkerville or "The West End". Russellville, Pinderville and the later Parkerville, comprised what was known in earlier days as "Matecumbe". ----- 1920 United States Federal Census 1920 United States Federal Census Name: William H Parker Home in 1920: Metacumbe, Monroe, Florida Age: 66 years Estimated Birth Year: abt 1854 Birthplace: Bahamas Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's Name: Luella Father's Birth Place: Bahamas Mother's Birth Place: Bahamas Marital Status: Married Race: White Sex: Male Home owned: Own Year of Immigration: 1870 Able to read: Yes Able to Write: Yes Image: 1095 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age William H Parker 66 Luella Parker 26 Dollie C Parker 3/12 ------- Name: William Henry Parker Titles: Titles & Terms - Prefix(standardized): Death date: 17 Oct 1928 Death place: Coconut Grove, Miami, Dad, Florida Gender: Male Race or color (on document): White Race or color (expanded): White Age at death: 77y Estimated birth year: Birth date: 19 Nov 1852 Birthplace: Bahamas Marital status: Widowed Spouse's name: Amy Parker Spouse's titles: Spouse's Titles & Terms - Prefix(standardized): Father's name: Francis Parker Father's titles: Father's Titles & Terms - Prefix(standardized): Father's birthplace: Bahamas Mother's name: Mother's titles: Mother's Titles & Terms - Prefix(standardized): Mother's birthplace: Bahamas Occupation: Farmer Street address: 2911 West Trade Residence: Miami, Dade, Florida Cemetery name: Burial place: Matacumbe, Florida Burial date: 18 Oct 1928 Funeral home: Informant's name: Additional relatives: X Film number: 2135287 Reference number: 394 15121 Collection: Florida Deaths, 1877-1939 --------- Florida Deaths, 1877-1939 for William Henry Parker Name William Henry Parker Titles & Terms (Original) Titles & Terms (Standardized) Death Date 17 Oct 1928 Death Place Coconut Grove, Miami, Dad, Florida Gender Male Race (Original) White Race (Expanded) White Death Age 77y Estimated Birth Year Birth Date 19 Nov 1852 Birthplace Bahamas Marital Status Widowed Spouse's Name Amy Parker Spouse's Titles & Terms (Original) Spouse's Titles & Terms (Standardized) Father's Name Francis Parker Father's Titles & Terms (Original) Father's Titles & Terms (Standardized) Father's Birthplace Bahamas Mother's Name Mother's Titles & Terms (Original) Mother's Titles & Terms (Standardized) Mother's Birthplace Bahamas Occupation Farmer Street Address 2911 West Trade Place of Residence Miami, Dade, Florida Cemetery Burial Place Matacumbe, Florida Burial Date 18 Oct 1928 Funeral Home Informant Additional Relatives X Film Number 2135287 Reference Number 394 15121 ------- Note: Original land patent of 170.41 acres on Upper Matecumbe Key granted to William H Parker. 20 Aug 1907 , Upper Matecumbe Key, Monroe, Florida. ----- Note: George E.
