Searching for information about Littleberry Parker (aka Lewis B. Parker, for reasons unknown) b. 1798, N.C., d. after July, 1890. Possibly son of John Parker. Possibly brother (twin?) of Jonathan D. Parker, b. 1798, N.C. Littleberry m. Mary ?, b. 1802 MS. They had a large family and moved frequently with other Parkers.

My questions:
1.       Who were Littleberry’s parents?
2.       What were the maiden names of his two wives?
3.       Who are his children?
4.       Who are his siblings? Was he a twin?
5.       His death date and burial site.
6.       Date of death for first wife Mary and burial site.
7.       Why was he known as Lewis B. for a time?

I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
