FIRST GENERATION

1. Mr. Parker. notes from Alan Ross Parker

Mr Parker's baptismal name is not known and it is not not known if he is younger or older brother of James Parker.

PB Mr. - - - Parker, son of P. His baptismal name is not known, nor whether was older or younger than James, PA. For convenience he is here given as of younger than PA, hence PB. Much of what is said of PA would also be true him. He and his wife went from Scotland to the North of Ireland, where their son Edward, PBB, was born, according to a grandson, (PBBF) Dawson Parker. He and his wife may have died early for, according to PBBF, Edward was brought up by an uncle, who gave him a good education. He and his wife may have had other sons beside Edward. They are said to have had a son Daniel who went to Australia. Perhaps two other sons also went there, for (PBBBB) William John Parker wrote in 1937: "I have often heard my grandfather (PBB) Edward Parker speak of his brothers Nathaniel and Matthew who went to Australia before he (PBB) ever left Ireland." Nathaniel and Daniel sound a bit alike and it may be that two, not three, went to Australia. Another relative states that in addition to those mentioned he had still other children who we to America and were not heard from thereafter. Though his baptismal name is not known, it may have been the same as one of his sons. It is almost certain that it was the same as one of his grandsons, sons of PBB. He was probably born about 1765 to 1780.

Mr. Parker had the following children:

+2 i. Edward Parker.
3 ii. Daniel Parker. notes from Alan Ross Parker;

It is belived Daniel was raised by his Uncle James MacDonald.
PBA Daniel Parker, born perhaps about 1800. He went to Australia, it is said.
