More about Fort Parker:
Fort Parker was founded about two miles west of present-day Groesbeck,
Limestone County, Texas, USA by Elder John Parker (1758–1836), his
sons, Benjamin, Silas and James, plus other members of the Pilgrim
Predestinarian Baptist Church of Crawford County, Illinois. Led by John and
Daniel Parker, they came to Texas in 1833.[3] Daniel's party first settled
in Grimes County, then later moved to Anderson County near present-day
Elkhart. Elder John Parker's group settled near the headwaters of the
Navasota River, and built a fort for protection against Native Americans.
On May 19, 1836, a large party of Native Americans, including Comanches,
Kiowas, Caddos, and Wichitas, attacked the inhabitants of Fort Parker.
Around mid-morning, riders appeared under a white flag, and Benjamin Parker
went out to talk to them. He was killed, and before the fort's gates could
be closed, the raiders rushed inside. Five were killed, some were left for
dead, two women and three children were captured, and the rest escaped into
the wilderness.[6] One of the captives was a nine-year-old girl, Cynthia Ann
Parker, daughter of Silas and Lucinda (Duty) Parker. Cynthia Ann lived with
the Comanches for nearly 25 years. She married Comanche chief Peta Nocona
and was the mother of three children, including Quanah Parker. In 1860, she
was among a Native American party captured by Texas Rangers. She was
identified by her uncle, Isaac Parker, and returned to her family. Cynthia
Ann never readjusted to the Anglo society, and died at the age of 43 in
1870. Quanah Parker became a leader among the Quahadi Comanches. After most
of the Comanche's and other tribes on the Staked Plains were defeated,
Quanah Parker and his group surrendered to authorities and was forced to an
Indian reservation in Oklahoma Territory. He was made chief of all the
Comanche tribes on the reservation.
