Myth #01 - The mother of Richard Parker and his siblings'
There is strong evidence that the mother of Robert Parker, Richard Parker, Nathaniel Parker, Elizabeth (Parker) Nall, & Catherine (Parker) Foreman was not the Elizabeth Parker referenced in John Parker's Sep 1760 Hampshire Co., VA will but was Catherine Pearson, daughter of Robert Pearson of Nottingham, Burlington County, New Jersey whose 1751 will lists these previously referenced children of John Parker 1700-1760 as his grandchildren. See Origins of John Parker This document changes the birth order as shown in many trees to match Robert Pearson's 1751 will and the 1765 deed of partition for John Parker 1700-1760's estate.
