Don't think this last update re birth place and death place are correct. I have a handed down family document from the 1880's that stated James Parker was of Trengoff, Warleggan, Cornwall, and Blisland, Cornwall, eldest son of William Parker of the same places. Document states he was born in 1590 and buried at Warleggan in 1672.
