• Notes

  Both John A. Freestone and Donna Smith Packer give Moses Packer's mother as Ann Phipps, but Packer researcher Warren Packer says: "In a paper left by Jonathan Taylor Packer, the name of the mother of Moses Packer is given as Margaret. Descendants of Jesse Packer, a brother of Moses, say that the mother of Jesse was Mary Ann Phipps. Records show that Aaron Packer, father of Moses, married Ann Phipps; but we have not been able to find out with certainty the name of Moses' mother." ***** There's a photograph of a man in a large top hat that is in wide circulation on the internet as an image of Moses Packer. Dozens of copies of it can be found attached to Moses Packer on ancestry.com, geni.com, etc. It also appears in at least one Packer family history volume published by a relative of TNH. Do a Google image search on "Moses Packer" and you'll find it immediately. Those who believe that this man is Moses Packer should contemplate the fact that the first photographic portraits of human beings were made in 1839. Moses Packer died in 1830. ***** Common ancestor of TNH and Jeff Flake, former senator from Arizona and Ambassador-to-Turkey-designate, making then fifth cousins: Moses Packer (1764-1830) = Eve Williams (d. ~1837) William Hamilton Packer (1815-1875) = Sarah Briggs Allen (1835-1920) William Ezra Packer (1868-1932) = Emma Elizabeth Foutz (1869-1947) Joseph Alma Packer (1890-1954) = Blanche Standing (1892-1954) Wilma Packer (1915-1974) = Leon Almond Hock (1913-1973) Nerita Hock (b. 1937) = Dean Maeser Flake (b. 1931) Jeffry Lane Flake (b. 1962)
