We have Mary Sawtell marrying Benjamin Parker too. Perhaps our data may be of some help, even if only to point to a source you may not have seen. What we have came from the original research of the vital records by Joanna Curtis while following her family's Shattuck ancestry. She passed it along to me in PAF 2.31 format several years ago to edit and put on the Internet. Since there are many links between the Parker and Shattuck families, I did my best to merge and link the Parker lines properly from the early immigrant lines down. I also input the remaining data from Lemuel Shattuck's "Memorials of The Descendants of William Shattuck; Dutton and Wentworth, Boston, 1855." Including most of "Parker Memorials", as Appendix V on pages 375-377 which was also a great help. The book is widely available. How accurate the information is, I don't know. Our data, which includes the sources used can be found at: <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rckline-shattuck&id=I2355> If anyone would like a PDF file which includes more sources and some notes, just email me directly. Not to the list. Robert Kline http://www3.telus.net/robertkline/
