General Notes: Husband - James Parker

Parker in America, page 539:

JAMES(3) [Samuel(2), James(1)] res. in Groton. He has been confounded by one writer with his cousin James(3) [James(2), James(1)]. Evidence has been given to show that the cousin lived elsewhere. The James of this section d. Jan. 21, 1748-9, "in his 63d year." This is an exact fit but would not apply to the other James. Again there is a chain of deeds on record too numerous to quote, which are too clear to be doubted. James (and his w. Abigail) and his bro. Samuel (and w. Deborah) jointly sold land, which seems to be the same, in part, that their grf., Cap. James, deeded to their f., Samuel, and there is evidence in other deeds. James m. Abigail, dau. of Cap. Jonas Prescott, who survived him, and was doubtless the Abigail who d. Aug. 14, 1751, a. 63 years, 3 months, 6 days. James in his will
