GENEALOGY OF THE PARKER FAMILIES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE (and NEW ENGLAND)

Regarding this genealogy... I am NOT a Parker descendant. Please do not ask me to perform your research for you. (That should be the "fun" part, in researching it yourself). I am not responsible for the accuracy of this genealogy. I have noted some of the sources at the bottom of the page.

I have collected, compiled, researched and finally documented multiple PARKER families, mostly those who lived in the MERRIMACK, LITCHFIELD, BEDFORD, AMHERST area, in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Most of these families lines originated in Massachusetts. An "+" notation before a name indicates that further lineage is traced in this document. Please consider this information copyrighted by the webmaster.

Please note that there were at least FIVE separate PARKER families who lived in southern New Hampshire. I have not determined that all of them were related to each other. For more information on the early Parker Families in America see http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jennin/ParkerInAmerica.html or use the HeritageQuest service (either through your local library, or through a membership in one of the larger historical societies (and look up the book "Parker Families in America."). This compilation did not use the before mentioned book, but did use some of the original sources mentioned in that publication.

Captain James came to America in 1634, was in Woburn in 1640, a freeman in 1644, a grantee in Billerica, and then moved to Chelmsford. He became one of the earliest settlers of Groton, where he was very prominent in the affairs of the town. He was one of the first board of selectmen chosen in 1662, and continued in that capacity most of the time until 1669. He was a representative to the general court in 1693, selectman of Groton (many years between 1662-1699), town clerk of Groton (abt 1678/79) and treasurer of Groton. His will was written 25 May 1700.
After King Philip's war and the resettlement of Chelmsford, a mill was built at Stony Book, concerning which this record is found: "The twenty shillings due the Indian Andrew from the town, for his weir at Stony Brook, assigned by said Indian to Richard Blood, the said Blood assigns over to James Parker." This was about 1680.
James house was one of the garrisons used during King Philip's War, and it was with Capt. Parker that the Indian chief, on the night of March 13, 1675, talked, as mentioned in Hubbard's "Narrative." In the assault made on the town, July 26, 1694, his son James and his son's wife, Mary, were killed by the Indians and several of their children were carried away captives.
This family's history has been traced to the remote progenitor who in the eleventh century entered England with Wiliam the Conqueror. Another reference states that the Parkers of this line are said to have descended from Lord Parker of Macclesfield, England, who is supposed to have descended from one of the natural children of King Charles II, who is said to have descended from William the Conqueror.
