Biography

Anthony lived at Castle Lough, County Tipperary, Ireland.

He is buried in Castletown Cemetery beneath a memorial with urn on top surrounded by railings. A marble plaque with the following inscription has fallen and is cracked:

Anthony Parker Esq.
of Castlelough
Died on the 28th. day of January 1800
in the 63rd. year of his age
Anne his wife on the 26th. day
of November in the 83rd. year of her age

Research Notes

There does not appear to be any source for the marriage previously shown on WikiTree between John Parker and Amy Massy. The former appears to have died before his only known wife Alice Irby. It was actually their son Anthony Parker (Parker-15532) who married Amy Massy. Their son in turn, another Anthony Parker (Parker-18485), according to his tombstone inscription in Castletown Cemetery, "Died on the 28th. day of January 1800 in the 63rd. year of his age", suggesting that his parents were married and he was born in the mid-1730s (not 1740 and 1728 respectively, as previously and implausibly estimated on WikiTree).
