MARRIAGE:

We do not have a marriage record for Roxana Parker and Abijah Wright, but in the last paragraph of an obituary written in 1847 for his father, Lewis Parker states that Stiles Parker (his father) was the maternal uncle of Rev. Richard Wright of the Genesee Conference. From this we deduce that one of Stiles's sisters married someone with surname Wright. From 1800 to 1830 Abijah Wright is living in close proximity to Parkers.

More specifically on page 459 of Parker in America Charles O. Parker says, "Roxanna m. Abijah Wright. Their chn. were: Samuel, Abijah, Roxanna and Rev. Richard."
