Note

The Story of My Ancestors, by Rev. Edwin Sawyer Walker, says Ruth Parke rwas the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Parker, first minister of Newbury, MA. In "The Pioneers of Massachusetts" by Pope, p. 344, it is stated Rev. Thomas Parker "never married", and shows that probably her father was Joseph Parker, (possibly the brother of Rev. Thomas Parker) whose youngest daughter Ruth was born 2 June, 1661. Joseph was a proprietor in Salisbury 1639, a carpenter, who later moved to Andover, where his brother, Nathan, settled. All these three were originally from Newbury, England.

 !THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS, Pope, page 344, shows - "Parker, Joseph, tanner, ae. 24, from Newbury, Eng., came in the Confidence April 11, 1638. Settled at Newbury. Propr. at Salisbury 1639, carpenter. Rem. to Andover. Memb. chh. 1645. He was a witness in Salem Court in 1642. Soldier in King Philip's War, 1675-6. Wife Mary; ch. John, Joseph b. May 1642, Thomas, Sarah, Stephen b. 1 March 1651, Hester b. 12 May 1654, John b. 30 June 1656, Samuel b.14 Oct. 1659, Ruth b. 2 Jun 1661. He d. Nov. 5, 1678. Will prob. 29 Sep 1678. Wife Mary; children Joseph, Thomas, Stephen, Samuel, Sarah, Mary, Ruth; bro. Nathan P.; est. in England, some at Rumsey. Widow Mary d. Oct. 2, 1795; admin. April 6, 1696."

Two different people are conflated in this profile. The Ruth Parker who married James Guile in 1689 was named as his wife when his death was recorded in 1705, so she cannot possibly be the same Ruth who married Edmund Rice in 1692.

Since Edmund Rice is attached to two other profiles for his wife Ruth Parker, it should be possible to convert this profile so it only represents the Ruth Parker who married James Guile.

Parker-8277 and Parker-632 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same husband. Parker-8277 has no other connections and no dates.
