CHARLES, Darn....are you sure you aren't up to a move??? (just kidding). I think I talked to you a long time ago. Your name sounds familiar. Anyway, I wondered about your very first two lines of the lineage. [ > 9g-gf: Thomas Parker II married to Ann King, son of > 10g-gf: Thomas Parker I married to Christian Boddie]. You show Thomas Parker II as marrying Ann King. In this report I have, they show Thomas married someone named Elinor. And that his Will is proved March 10, 1697 in Isle of Wight? Do you by chance have anything definite on this?
