Note: although the Bodie reference mentioned the possible descent from
this Richard of William Parker and Joseph Parker who both wrote wills in Gates
County in 1789 --- I believe Raymond Fouts has clearly shown their
ancestry to the Nansemond line in her new book "Following The
Land A Genealogical History of Some of the PARKERs of Nansemond County,
Virginia, And Chowan/Hertford/Gates Counties, North Carolina 1604-2004",
