Biography

Leah was the daughter of John Parker and Tabitha Truitt. Her father left her a bequest in his 1730 Will.

Notes

Leah predeceased her mother, and is not mentioned in Tabitha Parker's will. There is a grandchild John Turner who receives a bequest in that will, clearly the son of one of Tabitha's daughters. It may be Leah's child, or the child from one of the other daughters -- Sarah Dennis, Eleanor Dennis, Tabitha Nicholas -- from a previous marriage.

Signed: 12 Aug 1745; Proved 4 Oct 1745
