Biography

George Parker, son of James Parker and Katherine Buller, was baptized 1 May 1640 in Warleggon, Cornwall.[1] George, the Parker's 13th child, went to Virginia[2] before 1673, after he was apprenticed to a woolen draper in England.[1] He seems to have disappeared in 1673, as nothing more is found on him after that date. It is unknown if he ever married or had children, or if he stayed in Virginia.

Research Notes

Gateway Ancestor

George is listed in Richardson's "List of Colonial Immigrants" (#177) in Magna Carta Ancestry, but the bold "Ancestors of" sections in footnotes (example) always just say "Richard Parker" and not "George and Richard". This may because George has no known descendants. As stated above, it is also not known if he remained in Virginia.

I am removing the Magna Carta Project from being a manager of this profile. This is because it is not known whether George had children or if he stayed in America.

Parker-17229 and Parker-2208 appear to represent the same person because: Parker-2208 has been cleaned up and returned to be the George of Virginia, Gateway Ancestor, who's a duplicate of Parker-17229.

Parker-17229 and Parker-2208 are not ready to be merged because: The parent names are the same. However the birth places do not match. A couple living their entire lives in England cannot have children born in Rhode Island. The place of death does not match. Need to confirm place of death .

Due to the bad merge and suggestion in the profile, I'm going to disconnect the wife and children, all mentioned in the will of Sarah Smith-21637, as it's creating a fantasy line that's pretty nasty to untangle.

Parker-6176 and Parker-2208 appear to represent the same person because: same birth, same parents, same locations and death.
