Notes:

There is a 1919 Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Vol. 53, R.R. Bowker Company, page 575 query for a John Parker as the son of Nathaniel Parker and his wife, Ann Clayton, but it does not say he is the Elder John Parker. This query says she's supposed to be a daughter of John Clayton and Elizabeth Whiting of Gloucester Co., VA. John Clayton was born in England, abt 1690, and died in Gloucester Co., Va. 1773. He was an eminent botanist and had a botanical garden on his estate, which he called "Windsor". He married Elizabeth Whiting, 1723, and had several sons and daughters.

Notes:

From Karen Cotter;
The Whiting family in its early lines is carefully set out in the Virginia Historical Magazine, Volume XXXII. The first of the Whitings from whom the family can be traced is Dr. Henry Whiting of Gloucester County, Virginia. He was a member of the Council of State and Treasurer of the Colony. As his name drops from the list of Councillors in 1693, it is probable that he died in that year. Dr. Whiting married twice, first, Aphia, widow of Richard Bushrod and second Elizabeth, surviving in 1729 and had issue:
Children of Henry Whiting and Apphia Unknown, widow of Richard Bushrod
1. Major Henry Whiting of Gloucester County
2. Colonel Francis Whiting of Ware Parish, Glouceser County, Virginia married Thomas Perrin
3. Thomas Whiting of Petsworth Parish, Gloucester married unknown
Children of Henry Whiting and Elizabeth Unknown
4. Elizabeth Whiting married John Clayton, The Botanist
5. Catherine Whiting married John Washington
