My oldest known is David Parker. According to his Revolutionary War Pension, he was born 1 Apr 1764 in Scituate, Providence, RI. In 1777, he went with his father, name not stated, to Adams, Berkshire, MA. He enlisted in the MA militia, and served from 1779-1781. In 1785 he went to Ira/Clarendon/Middletown Springs, Rutland, VT. He died 3 Oct 1851 in VT. His 1st wife was Lydia Thornton, daughter of Stukely and Anna Colvin. His known brothers were William and Peter. They fought in the RI line. His known children are Calvin C(olegrove), William, Stukely Thornton, Anna (Hannah), and possibly Squire. His 2nd wife was widow Betsey White.
I have looked at land records, church records, tax records, census records, location histories, military records. I've never had much luck with newspapers. I haven't found any court records or wills. I have done autosomal DNA. My kits at gedmatch are

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ann Marie Parker Thompson
