    Note: JOSEPH PARKER, supposed to have been a bro. of Abraham, Jacob and James, is first found in Chelmsford. His first six chn. are recorded there. His w. Margaret was admitted to the church in that town on a date believed to be June 11, 1665. Another entry in Rev. John Fisk's note is as follows: "Joseph Parker's w. and her chn. dismissed to the church in Groton" May 28, 1665. The latter town was his home for some years, but he rem. — perhaps about 1673 — to Dunstable. The Shattuck Genealogy says he was constable there from 1675 to 1682. As early as 1684 he again located in Chelmsford and perhaps res. there continuously until his d. ' He was of Chelmsford in 1684 when he deeded (26-459) land to his dau. Anna, still there 1688 when he sold land to John Alexander, and there July 24, 1690, when he sold to Richard Stratton. His d. followed soon after the last date, if the Probate papers are right in saying he d. in 1690. There is other evidence to corroborate the last statement, but no visible step was taken to settle his estate until the inventory was taken Dec. 25, 1697. The next month, Jan. 25, Samuel Goodkin of Cambridge, was appointed administrator with Daniel Champney and Israel Cheever of the same place, as sureties. Joseph had left many hundred acres of land, situated in Chelmsford, Groton and Dunstable, and final settlement was long delayed. In 1714 Goodkin asked to be discharged from his office and Joseph Parker of Groton, "the only son," was appointed in his place. As late as 1729 one of his grs. did not consider the estate as fully settled, as is shown by his petition. Strikingly contradictory statements have been made as to who was the mo. of such of Joseph's chn., as were b. before 1667. "Savage" naturally confused by contradictory evidence gives the list of chn. twice with slight variations. Once he gives all to w. Margaret. In the other he has Joseph marry Rebecca Reed, June 24, 1655, which would make her the mo. after that date, although he qualified this by saying that the mo. of one of the chn. is given as Margaret. Before I knew of this complication I copied from the Chelmsford records with Margaret as the mo. of all, and the "Shattuck Gene- alogy" says the same. Yet the name of Rebecca Reed would not down and more modern writers, clearly proceeding without investigation, have given her as the mo. In analyzing the case, I have not had access to the Chelmsford town records, but from the county records I learn these facts: First, when the birth of the second John was entered the parents are given as Joseph and Margaret, and as Jacob Parker was then town clerk, it is to be supposed that he knew the name of his putative bro. 's w. Second, recourse being had to the original county record (not the modern copy) it was found that in the m. of Rebecca Reed the name of her husband was plainly written Joseph Parker, but the town clerk was not then Jacob Parker, but Simon Tompson. Third, the first entry after the m. is the birth, Aug. 10, 1657, (thirteen months after the m.) of Mary, dau. of Joseph Parkis. Then, later, we have the birth, Aug. 14, 1659, of Rebecca, dau. of Joseph and Rebecca Parks; then, Jan. 12, 1660-1, of Joseph, s. of Joseph and Rebecca Parkis, and, Mch. 11, 1665, of Abigail, dau. of Joseph and Rebecca Parkis. Deeds show that there was in Chelmsford a Joseph Parkhurst whose name was often misspelled Parkis and Parkes by early recorders. It seems that the above family was his. In view of these facts, probably long known to those familiar with Parkhurst history, it is submitted that Rebecca Reed m., not Joseph Parker, but Joseph Parkhurst. The clerk may have written ' ' Parker ' ' in his return to the County recorder through lack of acquaintance with Mr. Parkhurst, or what is more likely have written Parkes, and the recorder have misread Parker. When in Chelmsford I found no Joseph Parker marriage in that period, and I am strongly of the opinion that if Rebecca Reed 's marriage is there, her husband 's name is given as Parkhurst (or Parkes). Despite the repetition of this mistake by some writers, Rebecca may be dis- missed from the Parker family and Margaret be accepted as the mo. of the chn. b. to Joseph in the early part of his life. She, however, was not the mo. of certain other chn. b. in a later period. He m. (2) Hannah , and after his d., she m. at Concord, Robert Blood, Si\, of that town. In 1701 (Middlesex deed 13-64) Robert Blood deeded lands in Groton to "my chn, the chn., the daus. of Hannah, my w., viz.: Elizabeth Parker and Margaret Parker." (At this time Joseph(2) Parker was living.) Again, Sept. 30, 1684 (deed 13-196), Joseph Parker, Sr., and w. Hannah, sold lands. This proves that he then had a w. of that name. After the above two daus. were m. r they quit-claimed to Benjamin Parker of Groton (their half -nephew) their rights in the estate of their f., Joseph Parker, late of Chelmsford (deed 41-472). At Chelmsford is found the m., Nov. 19, 1684, of Joseph Parker and Hannah Bank. Unless there is an error of date this was not Joseph(l), for his above sale with w. Hannah was Sept. 30, six weeks before the m. ; yet I cannot doubt that it was Joseph (1) who m. as above. Probably the m. was earlier than the record says. Next, Elizabeth, dau. of Joseph and Hannah Parker, was b. in Chelmsford Dee. 4, 1684, but of Margaret 's birth I find no sign. It is clear that Joseph m. two wives, first Margaret , and second Hannah . (Compare with the m. record of Joseph, Jr.) The name Bank, given previously, needs explanation. In the early days of Chelmsford appeared a certain couple whose surname under the hands of contem- poraneous recorders was blessed with a fantastic and varied orthography. Rev. John Fiske, probably the most reliable authority by far, spelled the name Balke. Lesser lights wrote it Bank, Bawk and Bawke. John d. July 5, 1683, and in the Probate papers his name is three times spelled Back, and never anything else; yet the maker of the Probate index now in use, entered him on its pages as John Buck. Other modern writers have done their share to the orthographical epidemic. One of John's daus. m. William Powers, it is said, and the genealogy of that family, calls her Mary Bank (or Bauk). Another dau. m. John Graves and the Graves genealogy names her Sarah Banks. There was also a dau. Hannah, b. May 7, 1666. Is it not likely that it was not she, but her mo., Hannah Balke (or Bank), who m. Joseph Parker in 1684? On the reverse side of one of the Probate papers, relating to John Back, is entered the receipt of a small sum from Joseph Parker, under date of June 18, 1684. This was five months before the m. as the latter is found. Hannah, wid. of Joseph Parker, after her m. to Robert Blood and his death, remained wid. Blood until her own decease, Dec. 13, 1716. Thomas Estabrook, her s.-in-law, was appointed administrator of her estate Dec. 31, 1716. Chn. of Joseph and Margaret Parker: Joseph, b. Mch. 30, 1653. Anna, b. Feb. 2, 1655; d. early. Mary, b. Oct. 28, 1657; not accounted for. John, b. July 31, 1659; d. Oct. 8, 1660. John, b. Nov. 24, 1661. In 1714 his bro. Joseph was called "the only s." Anna, b. Nov. 16, 1663; m. Zaehariah Sawtelle (see Middlesex deeds, Vol. XXVI., p. 459, and Vol. XXVII., p. 325). arah, b. Nov. 16, 1666, at Groton, said to have d. Sept. 15, 1704. Chn. of Joseph and Hannah Parker: Elizabeth, probably b. Dec. 4, 1684, in Chelmsford; m., Concord, Dec. 18, 1707, Thomas Estabrook. Margaret, birth not found; m. (at Charlestown ?), 1765, John Barrett, both called of Chelmsford.
