• Notes

  "Richard Parker was an immigrant and was one of 19 brothers and sisters who resided in Cornwall, England. He perhaps came over about 1648 but in 1654 he purchased a farm on Parker's Creek, Hood's Neck, supposedly in Nansemond Co., Va. but when Byrd surveyed the line between North Carolina and Virginia about 1730, he found thatr insead of being in Virginia, Richard was living about a third of a mile over the line and in Chowan Co., North Carolina, in that part which is now Gates Co. Byrd made his headquarters in Richard's home and had some nice things to say about the family in his memoirs." Information on this family comes from the North Carolina Genealogical Library vertical file. William Alderman Parker (b. 13 Mar 1879- d. ?) compiled the information. (p. 8) Note: Richard Parker, the immigrant, died in 1680. The Richard Parker whose house was headquarters for Byrd, could have been his son. SCS
