Thomas Parker (abt. 1626 - aft. 1649)

Biography

Thomas Parker was a Virginia colonist.

Notes

Death est, based on below statement.

"Owned land at Dumplin Creek by 1648."

He is apparently the son of William Parker who first appears on land records in 1636 in Nansemond County, Virginia. Other researchers are using a dob based on assumption that he is the same William Parker that appeared as a Bush servant on the 1624 Jamestown muster. This seems unlikely based on the land grants he was being given for bringing in more servants himself. It would appear he was a later arrival from a family of means.

https://browsholme.com/our-story/family-history/, Taken from this site: ‘A History of the Parkers of Rowan County and Stanley County Carolina’ by William Ashley Hinson I (1994) contains research into the life of the ’emigrant’. It refers to various grants of land in Virginia, his work as a surgeon (‘chirurogen’) and the grant of 1420 acres of land in the southern branch of the Nansemond to his three sons. Also note ‘Some Ancestors and Descendants of Richard Parker’ by Eleanor Davis McSwain (1980). Finally, recently Theodore E Blake II has provided detailed and thorough research into the American family
