The Anderson Parker discussed was a descendant of John Parker and Amy Anderson both of Accomack County, Virginia. Anderson Parker born ca. 1672 in Accomack County, Virginia died on 16 March 1760 wrote his will 9 May 1759 proved 25 Mar 1760 married: 1st ca. 1702 to Margaret Robins born ca. 1679 died ca. 1730, daughter of Arthur Robins. Relocated to Sussex County, Pennsylvania (now Delaware). 2nd before Dec 1731 to Sarah Burton, relict of Robert Prettyman and daughter of Robert Burton. Anderson inherited 385 acres of land near Bloxum Bridge (tract A-135) from his father. In 1707 Anderson sold this land to Robert Brymer. Anderson relocated to Sussex County, Pennsylvania (now Delaware). At a Court 6 May 1703, Rachel Price aged 13 years, daughter of Thomas Price deceased and Elizabeth now married to Anderson Parker's brother Matthew was in open court by her own desire and consent put out to Anderson Parker and his wife, Margaret to live, dwell and serve until she becomes 18 and they are to teach her to knit, spin and sew and other housewifery work. Anderson Parker and his wife Margaret brought an action against Mr. Francis Makemie and his wife Naomy (executors of the estate of Mr. Edmund Custis, deceased). They declared that Custis, in his Will, bequeathed to Margaret Robins (now the wife of Anderson) three cows and calves. Since Makemie admitted that the legacy was in an article of the Will, the court ordered that Makemie and his wife immediately deliver the cows and calves along with the cost of the suit. On 8 June 1703 the order was carried out and the cows & calves were delivered.

I will see if I can get up with him and put him in contact with you. By the way, was your father a Methodist Minister. -----Original Message----- From: Jljbfox@aol.com Sent: Friday, September 5, 2008 3:17 PM To: LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDR] Parker Family Cemetery Looking through my records I found this info on the cemetery.From the Pa Gen Mag XXVIII #4,page 226: On Nov.1914 the following inscription was copied form the tombstone of Anderson Parker(died 1836) in the old Parker burying grounds on the so-called Red-Mill track outside Lewes.
