Caution on Richard Parkers in Virginia

It is believed and mostly proven by researchers that there were 3 men named Richard Parker during the same period of time in Virginia. Our Magna Carta project has determined that the Nansemond and Henrico Co were the same person [Parker-1544]

  • Richard Parker of Nansemond Co., VA.
  • Richard Parker, Dr. of Charles City Co., and Henrico Co., VA
  • Richard Parker of Surry Co., VA

Over the years, many have accidently combined them (see FindaGrave) This profile is intended to represent the Richard Parker that married Judith, the widow of William Hunt. A full explanation of these three men is available at:
