Two historical documents suggest the correct birth order for John Parker 1700-1760's children, and one provides the name of his wife. 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. 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 family bible belonging to a granddaughter of his brother Nathaniel Parker shows Nathaniel Parker was born in 1724. Based upon the order of the children in the two documents Robert was born abt. 1721.
Robert Parker married Hannah Peters abt. 1761 in Hampshire Co., VA. They had four sons and two daughters. His sons were Peter, Robert, Soloman and Nat., his daughters Katie and Susan. In the Revolutionary War Nat was a Tory, and disappeared. It was never ascertained what became of him, as he was never again heard of.
