Notes

"ARTHUR (3)-John (2), Arthur (l)-became a freeman May 8, 1743, married Almy---- , and dwelt in West Greenwich, R. I. The census of 1774 gives as his family two males over 16, and two females over 1 .A deed which appears to have been made by this Arthur Sept. 14,1775. designates Amey as his wife. David Culver administered upon his estate, and the inventory of his personal property rendered Oct. 14,1794, amounted to 35£ 16s.

He obtained of Wm. Reynolds, Feb. 9. 1742-3, a forty acre lot, which is still none by his name. It appears that for some reason his family or children, except his son Joseph, left Rhode Island. It is stated that his wife left the children, but at what time they emigrated has not been ascertained. Arthur died on his homestead. His son Joseph continued to live on the lot near where be also died. Two lonely graves are pointed out as being the graves of Arthur and his son Joseph. The title to the lot did not pass to Joseph, who dwelt there alone for a number of years previous to his death. The lot was sold by the town council for taxes, and about ten years after Joseph's death, Burton Briggs acquired title from the heirs of Arthur that could be found. The children of Arthur (3) and Almy, so far as we have account, were as follows":

48. i Jonathan (4) b. Feb. 4, 1729, m.Sarah
49. ii Joseph (4) 3d son. b.. April 19. 1736.
50. iii Silas (4) 4th son, b. May 17, 1737, m. Ruth Whitford.

20. JOHN (3)-John (2), Arthur (l)--married Anne Gardner, who was a daughter of Samuel Gardner, from whose will,* made June 27, 1762, the fact is obtained, [E. G. Rec.] and from which we learn that they had two daughters, at least : †
i Waite.

"The Parkers in America
Richard Parker I

Richard PARKER - b. about 1624, England; d. about 1680, Nansemond Co., VA. Arrived in America prior to Dec. 22, 1643, when John CARTER received 300 acres in Nansemond County for 6 headrights for the transportation of Morgan Williams, Richard Parker, Robert Pierce, Thomas Norice, Israel Harris and Hen. Bartholomew. On Oct. 5, 1654, Richard PARKER recieved a grant of 400 acres for transportation of eight people, one of a series of land grants (totaling 1,420 acres on the Southern Branch of the Nansemond River at Hoods Neck) to him that were recorded in Nansemond Co., VA. It's to be noted that the land in the 1654 grant is described as "Joyning to his own land," indicating that Richard PARKER obtained land prior to that year, and records show that he owned 760 acres prior to 1654, obtained from two prior owners. The latest land grant was for 100 acres on Feb. 24, 1675, adjoining his other land and that of Thomas PARKER. The will of Richard PARKER cannot be located, but is referred to in a land grant dated Apr. 23, 1681, transferring his lands to his three sons. The name of his wife has not been located. His wife may have been of the MAULDIN family, but this should only be used as a suggesstion for further research, since there appears to be some connection between Richard PARKER and Dumplin Island residents Francis MAULDIN and Thomas PARKER.
