Hope this may help Harriet Raffo posted by Harriet Raffo on : posted by Harriet Raffo on : My name is James Parkhill.Not all the Parkhills of Texas are descended from George Washington Parkhill nor another set of Parkhills that live close.The Parkhills of Northeast Texas descend from another line that originally came from Scotland.Four brothers,Alvin,Bun and David and ___?Our line descends from David, whose son David left Massachusetts to Tennessee,where he married in 1799 and finally settled in Marshall County, Alabama.They had a family of eight, 7 boys, and 1 girl.Eventually most of these Parkhills left for Texas.Mine came in 1846 to Northeast Texas, Another brother and his family came also.The Ones that settled around Gainesville are of the younger brother David G. Parkhill to my ancestor James W. Parkhill.
