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]
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:
Richard Parker married "Judith" before 1 May 1668, the same year her husband William Huntt passed away as Richard filed an administration request in Isle of Wight County, Virginia on May 1, 1668 on behalf of "Judith, Widow Huntt , relict of "William Huntt who died intestate. [1]
RICHARD PARKER died intestate by 4 Sept. 1677 when JUDITH PARKER; his relict, was granted administration on his estate. In the 1677 Tithable Tax she was listed as, "At Mrs, Parker's: JESPER GRANSOME, 1 tithe." In the 1678 tax she was listed as "Mrs. Parker: JESPER GRANSOM & WILLIAM HUNT, 2 tithes." – Administration is granted to Judith Parker on the estate of her deceased husband Richard Parker on 4 July 1677. Security Wm Carpenter and Wm. Nance.
Est Bk 2 pg 141 – orders 1671/90 p 144.
JUDITH PARKER died intestate by I July 1679 in Surry Co. when her son WILLIAM HUNT II, was granted administration on her estate.

However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Richard:
