General Notes: Husband - James Parker

---

PARKER in AMERICA:

Parker in America, page 536:

James(2) [James(1)] resided in Groton. He married December 11, 1678 Mary(2) Parker [Abraham(1)]. Both parents were slain by Indians July 27, 1694, and as his brother Josiah stated to the General Court, "several" of their children were "carried away captives." Of these, Phineas was a prisoner for four years, but who the other captives were, or how long they were held, does not appear. All are accounted for and were at liberty in subsequent years, except Abraham, and the fact that he was not mentioned in any legal proceedings leads to the belief that he died in childhood, before or during the captivity. Children:

Mary, b. Sep. 1, 1680; m. John Pierce of Woburn.
Samuel, b. Sep. 22, 1682.
Phineas, birth not found.
James, b. Mch. 24, 1686-7.
Abraham, b. Jan. 4, 1690.
Rebecca, birth not found; m. Jabez Kendall of Woburn.

(For proof concerning these children, see Middlesex Deeds 14-256 and 28-140.)

BIRTH DATE:

James's birth date is calculated on the basis of baptismal records in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. See notes under his father. It is not consistent with the birth date of his next younger sibling Josiah.
