General Notes: Husband - John Parker

---

The following is on page 88 of an article by Douglas Richardson in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol 153 (1999), pgs 81-96). The article is entitled "THE ENGLISH ORIGIN AND ANCESTRY OF THE PARKER BROTHERS OF MASSACHUSETTS and of their Probable Aunt, Sarah Parker, Wife of Edward Converse".

JOHN PARKER was born say 1560, and was buried at Great Burstead, Essex, 5 Aug 1613, as "John Parker, householder." He married, first, a wife whose name has not been learned. He married, second, as "John Parker, widower," at Great Burstead, 9 Oct 1606, Mary ______, whose surname, not clear in the parish register, appears to be Ashfels but could be the more likely Wheeler.

John's father in his will written in 1581 bequeathed to him two houses in Great Burstead. Presumably his widow was the Mary Parker who married there, 14 Nov 1614, Edward Bridges. Nothing more of their subsequent history has been learned.
