Hello!I am currently investigating my Parker line which descends from Massachusetts. My father had one line traced back to England, but after much research I recently disproved some of the research he had done. I have some leads on who might possibly be the ancestors of my line based on other trees at Ancestry.com, but for me this is not concrete proof. I need vital records, deeds, wills, etc. as valid sources before I can conclude anything.Is anyone related to the Thomas Parker-Rebecca Danforth line from Malden, MA? Any information/possible sources on this line would be wonderful.Lauren
You need to be a member of Parker Heritage to add comments!
This is the most definitive resource on the Chelmsford Parkers. It does not have the errors that "Savage's" Parker lineage has and makes the point of the Chelmsford Parkers coming from the English area of Chelmsford and Billerica with sources mentioned at the Chelmsford, England church records.
I have visited the church in Great Burstead, England this year, but the earliest stone in the churchyard in 1700's. The Sarah (Parker) Converse mentioned in this report is not mentioned in the church burial yard at South Weald, a site I also visited.

Lauren,
My line comes from MA as well. I just looked up my info and there are some Parkers in my line that came from Chelmsford. Most of them came from Groton, Billerica and Woburn, MA. In fact there is a marriage between two Parkers which makes me connected to another line.
One line goes back to Abraham Parker, b. 6FEB1619 in England and died 12AUG1685 in Chelmsford. Some info I have received is that Abraham was the first Parker in the U.S.. My other line that goes back to England is Capt. James Parker b. 18JUL1618/9 in England and died 1701 in Groton, MA.
Anyway I have a lot of info on these Parkers, in fact one of Capt James' sons married a Mary Danforth. Also Capt. James' father was Thomas,, he married twice once to a Ellen ? and second to Eunice Carter or Brooks.
Check some of your father's names and info and get back to me. We might have a connection.

Hi, please show the direct lineage of the Parkers referenced in the above. I don't see your connection to Thos. Parker b. 1609 the ancestor of Capt. John famous at the battle of Lexington, MA.
there were 5 Parker brothers who came from Great Burstead England circa/aft. 1635 (Capt. James, Joseph, Abraham, Jacob, and John). Thomas b. 1609 was thought to be a 6th brother by some historians or "at least a cousin".
The Jacob you list in a subsequent correspondence is the jacob brother to Capt. James, Joseph, Abraham, & John.
Looking forward to hearing from you. karen parker galvin

I believe that my first ancestor Jacob Parker was the brother of an Abraham and htey both came from Woburn, MA. Jacob left for Chelmsford after a while but he originally landed in Woburn with a few brothers. Rebecca Danforth was also from Billerica, she was most likely related in some may to your Mary Danforth. Rebecca was the daughter of Jonathan Danforth (1659-1711) and the granddaughter of Nicholas Danforth (d. 1683)
The direct line goes like this:
Jacob Parker (b. 1626 d. 1669) m. Sarah Wise (b. 1627 d. 1708)
Jacob Parker 2nd (b. 1652 d. 1694) m. Joanna Call (b. 1659 d. 1737)
Thomas Parker (b. 1681 d. 1760) m. Rebecca Danforth (b. 1683 d. 1758)
David Parker (b. 1710 d. 1760) m. Mary Upham (b. 1715 d. 1795)
William Parker (b. 1745 d. 1825) m. Mary Warner (b. 1753 d. 1811)
William Parker 2nd (b. 1775 d. 1855) m. Betsy Wyatt (b. 1785 d. 1869)
Joshua Wyatt Parker (b. 1812 d. 1893) m. Eliza McQuigg (b. 1817 d. 1901)
Frank A. Parker (b. 1850 d. 1918) m. Mary Ellen Radcliffe (b. 1850 d. 1932)
Frank R. Parker (b. 1873 d. 1935) m. Evelyn Lane (b. 1874 d. 1938)
Florence Parker (b. 1903 d. 1987) m. Nemesio Rodriguez (b. 1895 d. 1988)
Mary Parker Rodriguez (b. 1930 d. 2006) m. Antonio Q----- (b. 1927)
Angela Q------ (b. 1959) m. Michael Socha (b. 1959 d. 2000)
I see you've already hooked up with Karen, so I won't rehash old news. I was curious about your putting Jacob in Salem, I see the reference to Malden (which I also find puzzling), I don't see one for Salem. I had figured the brothers for Middlesex county, although it's not like the towns are light years apart.

I'm headed there this summer for a quick stop on my way - do you have recommendations with respect to Great Burstead?
