Probate record sale - many items bought by Robert, Nathaniel, and the Widow Parker
(1761 FHC MF # 0186355) Robert Parker was executor.
"Fort John Parker" from "Frontier Forts Along the Potomas and ItsTributaries" by William H. Answel, Jr. Exerpts: "This defense was located on Lot #44 of the Fairfax South Branch survey...two and one half miles southeast of Springfield, West Virginia..
On November 9, 1756, the "fort at Parker's on the South Branch" was included with the list of defenses extending across the Virginia frontier, and it was stated to be ten miles from Ashby's fort on Patterson's Creek and was garrisoned with thirty men.
On June 13, 1756, while at Fort Cumberland, Washington wrote to Captain Robert McKenzie ordering him to instruct Lieutenant Neugent of the King George militia to immediately proceed with his command to John Parker's on the South Branch and while there, not only protect the inhabitants about the fort but to also assist them in harvesting their crops...
Fort Parker was named for John Parker, the owner of the real estate upon which it was constructed, he having purchased Lot #44 consisting of 350 acres from Thomas Lord Fairfax on July 24, 1749..The foundation stones supporting the buildings can still be seen at the location. About 200 feet north of the fort is an ancient cemetery, the graves marked with native stone, but without inscriptions of any kind. The persons buried there are unknown. It may have been a Parker family cemetery and John Parker, the early settler might be interred therein. The since the gravestones are unmarked, it could well have been a burial ground for the Parker family slaves.
Indians were in the vicinity of this fort on several occasions during the war. In September, 1756, Ensign Charles Smith of the Sixth Company of the Virginia Regiment, while on a scout with twelve men on the south Branch and in the vicinity of Fort Parker, encountered a band of Indians and after a short skirmish, one savage was killed and Smith's men captured several scalping knives, together with four French muskets.
John Parker died in 1760 before the Indian troubles were over. He left surviving his wife, Elizabeth, who later married Thomas McGuire; four sons, Robert, Richard, Nathanial and Aaron; two daughters, Elizabeth, who married John Hall (sic) and Catherine, who married William Forman."
Mineral Co. library - family sketch - John Parker comes from England in 1749. The writer confuses John and Elizabeth with a later John Parker, wife Mary, who sold land and bought after 1761. States that Catherine was the daughter of John and Elizabeth
Martha Redford papers - Johnson Co. Historical Society. States that John Parker was the owner of 2821 acres in Hampshire County, VA and also several slaves.
