Every once in a while Jacob Parker of Malden pops up. Every time I look into him, I can't figure out which one he is. There are 3 or 4 (5?), and they are getting mixed up with one another, not just on Wikitree, but in the various sources. My notes:
How many are there?
Births:
Jacob, s. Thomas and Rebecca, Jan. 8, 1707-8. Parker-38200
Jacob, s. Jacob and Elizabeth, Feb. 1, 1765.
Jacob, s. Jacob and Elizabeth, Mar. 29, 1779. <==== !!!!
Jacob Webb, s. Isaac and Mary, Jan. 6, 1807. Isaac (the father) is the son of Jacob and Lydia.
Deaths:
Jacob, 42 y., Oct. 31, 1694. (Not born in Malden) Parker-7994
Jacob, h. Rebecca, smallpox, Jan. 17, 1779. This is the fellow who married Rebecca Emerson caught Smallpox from her and died. Parker-38200 also Parker-48800
Jacob, 57 y., May 26, 1805. This is the fellow born in Chelsea. The age at death is off by 1 year. Husband of Lydia Hill? Parker-49751
Jacob, 45 y., Oct. 24, 1824. ergo born in 1779 #3 from Births above. Not listed in Marriages
Marriages:
Jacob, and Elizabeth Cheever of Lynn, Sept. 18, 1761, Aug. 29. <=== who is this Jacob?
Jacob, Jr., and Lydia Hill, May 16, 1769, Mar. 17. Parker-49751?
Jacob, and Rebecca Emerson, Feb. 13, 1777, Jan. 29. This is the one who died of Smallpox Parker-38200 also Parker-48800
There is no death record for Elizabeth (Cheever) Parker in Malden. I am reluctant to support that the Jacob who married Elizabeth Cheever is the same Jacob who married Rebecca Emerson. Also, Jacob and Elizabeth have a son Jacob in 1779, a second one, (which implies that the first one died - of which there is no record in MVR), so he is not married to Elizabeth and Rebecca at the same time.
Setting this to Parker-49751, since he is the most recent Jacob to attract my attention.
