Parker-28559 and Parker-2351 appear to represent the same person because:

There is a whole apparent duplicate line of parkers from Thomas, father of peter with the same but not all the subsequent descendants. Dates are not the same but close enough considering lack of sources on both lines. They have all been guestimated from unsourced info. The only real source (best we have) is Frances Parkers compendium in Rosemeade CA 1971. Not real good but at least its significantly away from the internet age and copy/pasting. this whole line really needs to be merged explained.

Notice the children here and compare to those on Parker-28559, than do the same with his father, Thomas and the subsequent descendants of Peter. Th birth of Peter here as Hertford, Perquimans was no doubt assumed from his supposed father's will and Peter's marriage there on the other profile Parker-28559. At any rate, there remain considerable uncertainly for both profiles as well as his father and subsequent descendants
