Biography

George Parker was born around 1657[1] in Accomack County, Virginia Colony[2] He is the son of George Parker and Florence Cade.[3]

George's father died before October 7, 1674. He inherited the land his father lived on when he attained age 21. The land was on the north side of Onancock, in Accomack County. He also inherited all his father's land in England and a bay mare called Jennie.[4]

Two years later Governor Berkley took refuge at Parker Place in Onancock during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676.

George was a Justice of the Peace Accomack County 1707.

George Parker died before July 7, 1724,[5] in Accomack County.[6]

Footnotes

  1. No source for the birth date of 1657. From his father's will we can infer that George was born after 6 January 1652 as he was not yet 21 when the will was made. He also appears to be the eldest son named in Will-Parker-1963. Suppose he is the eldest child.
  2. No source for this birth place. Could have been Northampton County?
  3. #Will-Parker-1963 George is, by definition, the George mentioned in Will-Parker-1963. His mother may not have been Florence Cade, but it seems likely.
  4. #Will-Parker-1963
  5. #Will-Parker-1964 The date the will was proved.
  6. #Will-Parker-1964 We can be relatively certain that this is the will of the same George mentioned in #Will-Parker-1963 since this George passes on the land on the north side of Onancock.
