PARKER FAMILY OF VIRGINIA'S EASTERN SHORE

This document represents a trace of the direct lineage of the Parker family on the Virginia Eastern Shore. While this document contains many links to other Parker family members throughout the Delmarva Peninsula, beginning in 1634 and continuing through time until approximately 2004, it does not attempt to follow all Parker connections. Typically, I try to provide at least two generations of family connections to assist others in making their Parker family relations. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. The purpose of this historical trace is to further discover, explore and document my Parker lineage from the earlier work of my sister, Rosemary Revell O'Connell as published in "Our Family History - Mother's Family" in 1990 and continue this work back through time to the first Parker family immigrant to America. During this process I hope to learn of the many ancestors of Julia Dickinson Parker, my grandmother who was born in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1892 and lived her entire 96 years of life there nourishing her 3 children, 16 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren until her death in 1988. She lies buried next to her husband, Thomas Miley Rowe in St. Paul's Catholic Cemetery.

According to a review of Virginia Land Patents the Virginia Parker family history contains four main branches. Including:

1. Thomas Parker of Isle of Wight County (1647) son of Sir Edmund Parker

2. Richard Parker of Nansemond County (1654)

3. Robert Parker of Northampton County (1649) [Robert, George & John were brothers]¹
                        George Parker of Northampton County (1650)
                        John Parker of Accomack County (1655)

4. William Parker or Westmoreland County (1654)

The Eastern Shore branch of the Parker Family traces its origins to the family seat "Park Hall" located in Staffordshire, England and are descendants of the Earls of Morley and the Earls of Monteagle and of the same family as the Earls of Macclesfield and Barons of Boringdorn. It is rumored that the many of the Parker's being loyal to the King's party were forced to flee to the Colony of Virginia during the time of the Commonwealth of England led by Oliver Cromwell.

The Eastern Shore Parker branch begins with George Parker (3A) born in Southampton, England and christened 25 May 1634 and who later married Abigail Barlowe (3A1) born ca.1634 also in Southampton, England. This report centers on this particular branch of the Parker family tree.

Every caution has been taken to verify the accuracy of the data offered in this document. However, this remains a work in progress and the reader is cautioned that mistakes may have occurred. Further, this document concentrates in tracing only the male heirs of the Parker Family. Whenever possible the first and second generation of inter-family marriages is also provided to help establish co-lateral lines and reveal other family relationships that may help other researchers discover family tie-ins.

If after reading this expose you have additional information on Parker family relationships that should be included within this document, please forward those comment to me at jrrevell@cox.net as I will provide updates from time to time.
