Biography

The following biography for Anna is posted at her FindAGrave memorial page, courtesy of Carol Page Tilson (now deceased), who did extensive research on the Colvin and Parker families:

Daughter of David Parker and Lydia Thornton. (David Parker was born 1 Apr 1764 in Scituate, Providence Co., RI, and died 3 or 4 Oct 1851 in Clarendon, Rutland, VT. His grave appears to be unmarked as no stone has ever been found for him. Lydia (Thornton) Parker died sometime between the 1820 Census in Ira, VT, and 12 Apr 1822 when David married "Widow White of Middletown, VT.)

Wife of Jabez Colvin, her second cousin, also a great grandchild of Jeremiah Colvin and Ruth Tucker.

Their children included Jonathan who married Roxanne Dalaba; Lydia Colvin who married Parker Holt; Clarissa Colvin who married James Closson Warren; Lucinda Colvin who married Francis Clark; Merrill Colvin who married Mary L. Unknown; and Martha Colvin who married Henry Thomas.

Note: Anna was probably born between 28 Oct 1794 (calculated from death record) and 1796 (the date of birth on her tombstone).
