Hannah Elizabeth Lee Parker 1843-1901 Oldest Daughter of William Lee and Elizabeth Martha Thomas Lee and Wife of Samuel James Parker

Early Life of Hannah Elizabeth Lee Parker

Hannah was born in Chesterfield, South Carolina in the Spring of 1843. When she was born, the supply chain for goods not produced on the farm was the Pee Dee River. The boats came into Cheraw from Charleston and Georgetown and brought in needed supplies. Cotton and other agricultural products were shipped out by the farmers. Both Hannah’s husband and father were cotton farmers.

Hannah first appears in the 1850 census in Chesterfield, County.  She is listed with her father William Lee (34) and her mother Elizabeth Thomas Lee (37).  Her older brothers are James Crawford (12), John Thomas (11) and Samuel (9).  Her younger siblings are Henry (6), Mary (4), Ann (3), Jane (2), and Eliza (0).  Also in the home is William Poston, a laborer.[1]

By 1860, Hannah Lee has married Samuel Parker.  According to online trees she married him on September 15, 1859 on the home of her brother.  Hannah’s brother, James Crawford Lee  married Hauley Parker, the younger sister of Samuel Parker.    Hannah has her first baby, a girl Henrietta. [1]

Samuel and Hannah were slave owners in 1860, having one 48 year old female enslaved woman in their household.

According to online researchers, Samuel Parker had two sons by Sarah Rivers before he married  Hannah Lee.  Sarah Rivers lived with Samuel’s Uncle William Parker.  In 1860, William was living next door to Samuel’s mother Hauley Lee Parker and in the same neighborhood.  Also in the home was 7 year old Henry and 5 year old Joe.[1]

Civil War Effects on the Parker Family

On December 26, 1861, Hannah’s husband Samuel James Parker enlisted in James Craig’s company of South Carolina Volunteers in Cheraw, South Carolina. Also serving in this company was Hannah’s brother, Samuel William Lee who also joined on December 26, 1861. Samuel James Parker was 35 years old when he joined and he enlisted for 12 months. The value of his horse was $125 and the equipment was $15.

Some researchers say James was the son of Jehu Parker and Nicey Steen of Marlboro County.  Others say he was the son of George Parker and Hauley Lee.  I believe he was Samuel James Parker’s brother because he enlisted in Chesterfield and his brother Boggan Parker enlisted also in the 21 Reg’t.   Researcher Charles Purvis believes that James K Parker was the son of George Parker and Hauley Lee and that he married Nancy Davis.[1]

There is no record of when Samuel James Parker came home from his military service.  However, he was probably home in the Fall of 1864 as Hannah had their second daughter Julia on June 27, 1865.  She would have been around seven months pregnant when Sherman came through Chesterfield in the first week of March 1865.[1]

Transcription:  Chesterfield District, March 3, 1865. The command has made a fine march today, Morgan covering twenty six miles and Baird and Carlln about fourteen each. Tonight Morgan Is near Chesterfield Court House. The roads, as far as the line of Lancaster and Chesterfield, were very bad; but after crossing l.ynch’s creek we struck sandy soil and found excellent roads.

Thompson’s Creek, near State I.ine SC March 4, 1865 Hard Marches. Today has been one of the hardest upon the men and animals we have yet experienced. We moved at the usual hour over the worst road I have ever seen, and at Thompson’s creek encamped at eleven P. M., after pulling out of the mud the whole division trains, which stuck fast and baffled all the attempts of the mules to extricate them. Our advance tonight Is In North Carolina, near Sneedsboro.

Near Rockingham, N. C , March 7, 1865. On the 6th the whole wing encamped at Sneedsboro, and Kilpatrick’s cavalry also. General Buell’s pontoon brigade the same evening commenced throwing the pontoons after the Thirteenth Michigan had crossed the river, and It was believed that the cavalry could com-

moment to cross.  Midnight of the 5th and daylight of the 6th  found the bridge not yet completed and what made the matter worse was that Carlin had been ordered to cross at daylight, after the cavalry, but, by some delay on the part of somebody, he was not informed of the non-completion of the bridge, and a daylight moved down expecting to cross at once.  Here the position  was at once manifest.  His whole division stacked arms upon the low, wet bottom, where it lay for hours.  Noon arrived, darkness followed and at Ten o’clock P.M. at last found the bridge “finished.”  Kilpatrick at once crossed, and in his rear, at midnight, Carlin followed, Hobart’s brigade leading.  The two brigades encamped two miles in from the river, and the tired officers and men looked in vain for the arrival of their wagons

The Bridge Broken.

Only a half dozen trains had crossed the bridge, when It broke, and was not repaired until nine this morning. During the night we lay upon the ground, supperless and hungry, hut when the train arrived over today we refreshed our stomachs and returned the march.  While the pontoons were being laid Williams’ corps’ marched to Cheraw, where it yesterday crossed, and, taking its position on the left centre, resumed the advance upon Fayetteville. Carlin is now on the right of Rockingham, encamped for the night in the turpentine forests of North Carolina. Morgan Is a few miles in the rear, and Baird still farther back.

Forager’s capture Rockingham

 Kilpatrick started early this morning lor Rockingham, where a rebel brigade of five hundred men were encamped; but be failed to get ahead of the mounted foragers of the Fourteenth corps, who skirmished into town, drove out the rebels, anil devoured the substances before the cavalry got up.

This online file at SC Archives shows a plat to William White for 137 acres shows Samuel Parker’s land on the way to Wright’s Folly in 1851.  Neighbors were John G White, Samuel White, William White, Daniel Odom, Thrashley White, and Lewis Melton.  The deed was made on 13th March 1851. 

The blue star shows where Samuel Parker’s land was and the orange star shows the road from the Courthouse to Sneedsboro (Wright’s Folly).  The green star shows Sherman’s route from Chesterfield Courthouse to Sneedsboro.[1]  It seems to indicate that Sherman would have traveled very close to Samuel Parker’s land.

On July 11, 1865, Samuel James Parker’s brother Boggan Parker who was the husband of Hannah’s sister Mary died at Elmira Prison Camp in New York City.  He was captured in January at Fort Fisher, North Carolina.  He died of chronic diarrhea[1].  Boggan Parker and Mary Lee had two young girls.  Mary died before the 1870 census.

The prison camp, in use from July 6, 1864, until July 11, 1865 (date of last arrival), was dubbed “Hellmira” by its inmates. During those 12 months, 2,970 of the 12,100 prisoners died from a combination of malnutrition, continued exposure to harsh winter weather, and disease from the poor sanitary conditions on Foster’s Pond, combined with a lack of medical care.[1]

Reconstruction Affects the Parker Family

In 1867, turpentine and cotton were two of the biggest economic engines in the reconstruction period for Chesterfield.  James Sanford Crenshaw was a large landowner and turpentine farmer who died in 1865 intestate.  In March of 1867 the sale of his property was advertised in New York, apparently because of disagreement among his heirs[1].  In June of 1867, Hannah and Samuel James Parker had their first son, James Samuel Parker.

In 1869, Samuel J Parker is in the South Carolina 1869 census with two males (Samuel J and James Samuel) and three females (Hannah, Henrietta, and Julia).[1]

Despite dangerous times, Hannah is kept busy with the rearing of children.  Her mother Martha Elizabeth Lee passes away sometime after 1860 and her father William remarries, most likely to his first wife’s sister, Hannah Thomas. 

In 1879, Samuel James Parker and wife gave their two oldest daughters 100 acres of land each for which they paid $100.  Henrietta’s land was on John Branch[1] and Julia’s was on Soney’s Branch.[2]  Both were off Sneedsboro Road. The couple also sold 19 ½ acres on Sneedsboro road to their sister-in-law Sarah Jane White Lee in 1879[3].  These three deeds had Hannah’s renunciation of dower recorded in 1900.[4]
