Two historical documents suggest the correct birth order for her children. The 1st document is the 1751 will of Robert Pearson of what was then Nottingham, Burlington Co., N.J. wherein Robert Pearson left 100 pounds to his grandchildren John, Robert, Richard, Nathaniel, Elizabeth and Catherine Parker; children of his daughter Catherine Pearson. This document does not mention his daughter Catherine, which suggests she was deceased and he left her inheritance portion to his Parker grandchildren. The 2nd document is the 1765 deed of partition for the estate of John Parker wherein it indicated John Parker's grandson Thomas (son of John 'Jr.') was deceased, then listed Robert, Richard, Nathaniel, Aaron, Catherine, and Elizabeth Parker. A 1860 granddaughter of Nathaniel Parker states that Nathaniel Parker was born in 1724.
A 1745 Frederick Co., VA court document shows Richard Parker was of age 21 (born bef. 1724) when Robert Pearson of Nottingham, Burlington Co., N.J. assigned a debt owed to him by Duncan O'Quillan who had migrated to Frederick Co. VA. from Burlington Co., N.J. to Richard Parker for collection.
