Jacob Parker, Jr. (Son-in-Law to Federick Messer) 11th Texas Infantry, CSA

Using the Find-A-Grave site for Federick Messer, I found that his daughter Clarice Messer married this man in 1869.

He was in the Confederate Army as a private in Company B of the 11th Texas Infantry.

He was born in 1842 in North Carolina and moved to Texas in 1855.

The 11th Texas spent their entire service west of the Mississippi River.  I found a roster of Company B of the 11th Texas.  Jacob Parker, Jr. was on it, along with a John Parker.  Wonder if they were related?

Find-A-Grave does not show him as having a brother named John.
