   Note: Joseph (2) [Joseph (1)] Was in Chelmsford with his f., Feb. 15, 1676, when, as they were riding together, were ambushed and fired upon by hostile Indians. They escaped by hard riding, but the son was severely wounded in the arm. (Coll. N. H. Hist. Soc, Vol. III., p. 97.) He settled in Groton. He profited more than his f. by the latter 's large land acquirements, and not only supplied his four s's. but sold largely to others. As much mystery surrounds his m. life as was the case with his f. When in the morning of genealogical quest in this state, Butler published his History of Groton, he stated that Joseph m. (1) Elizabeth ; and (2), Nov. 19, 1684, Hannah Blood. The latter definite m. is not to be found on record. It is a peculiar fact that this date is precisely that of the m. in Chelmsford of Joseph Parker (supposed to be his f. and Hannah Bank). Unless such a m. is on record the statement thereof may be accounted for by supposing that Mr. Butler saw the Chelmsford m. and assumed that Bank was a clerical error for Blood. If he knew of the petition to be mentioned below, and he probably did, the grounds of his theory can be surmised. As to the alleged first m., where is the evidence that Joseph Parker ever had a w. Elizabeth? In Butler 's "Groton" Joseph 's earliest ' chn. are given as follows : Sarah, b. Nov. 16, 1666; Elizabeth, b. Aug. 31, 1679, and Simon, b. Aug. 27, 1687. Of these Sarah was not Joseph 's dau., but his sis. and only thirteen years his junior. Elizabeth is given by Butler, both as dau. of Joseph and of his cousin Josiah Parker. The writer has not present access to the town records of Groton, but in the vital statistics of that town printed in Green's Historical Series, and copied from the county records, both Elizabeth and Simon are given as chn. of Josiah and Elizabeth Parker. This Josiah was the cousin mentioned above and a s. of Cap. James Parker. It seems, therefore, that we must drop Elizabeth and Simon from the list of Joseph's chn. If this is done what becomes of his alleged w., Elizabeth? I find no trace of such a w. and unless it can be asserted that she does appear in the Groton town records, or other records of that day, I shall prefer to believe that she existed only through the force of the error just de- scribed. Butler, through a slip, believed that he had chn. b. to " Joseph and Elizabeth. ' ' If this had been true, the fact that there was a w. Elizabeth would be proved, but according to the county record, they were chn. of Josiah and Elizabeth, entirely different persons. I believe that Elizabeth, w. of Joseph, never existed. Next, as to w. Hannah, Mr. Butler says that Joseph Parker and Hannah Blood were m. Nov. 19, 1684 (see above), but in a very full list of marriages in Gorton, chronologically arranged in another part of his history of the town, he does not include the m., nor is it in the list given in Green's "Historical Series." The exact date is not necessary to prove the m. Dr. Green considers the question of the alleged two wives at page 401 of the third volume of "Hist. Series," and quotes a petition, in 1705, of Joseph Parker to the General Court relative to Isabel, wid. of Richard Blood of Groton. Joseph states that Richard "left three s's. and one dau. whom I m. unto," and requests permission to sell some of Isabel's land that the proceeds might be applied to her needs, adding that he bad kept her for about fourteen years. Concerning this petition Dr. Green says: "The paper shows that Joseph Parker 's first w. was Elizabeth, the youngest dau. of Richard and Isabel Blood." I am unable to agree with this inference for these reasons: First, sundry writers who have said that Richard had a dau. Elizabeth,, have said further that she m. Thomas Tarbell. Second, the above petition states that Richard left "one dau. whom I (Joseph Parker) m." Third, Mr. Butler says that Joseph m. Hannah Blood. Fourth, if Joseph ever had a w. Elizabeth, I must still think that Hannah is referred to in his petition, for if he took the mo. of a previous w. into his house with a second w. and her chn. and kept the mo.-in-law fourteen years, we must credit him and his living w. with a degree of generosity and kindness which was not common then, and would have but few parallels now. The present article assumes that Joseph had but one w., and that she was Hannah, dau. of Richard and Isabel Blood. Chn.: Nathaniel, birth not found. Joseph, b. Mch. 1, 1689. Benjamin, b. Dec. 3, 1691. John, b. Aug. 26, 1695.
