Pat, I didn't know my Parker ancestry off the top of my head, so I did a little looking. I don't see any early 17th century Parker ancestors that I am aware of. Most of my ancestors came to Massachusetts. I am descended from Mary Sawtell who married Lt. Benjamin Parker and also have some 19th century Parker ancestors from England. I have many Parker cousins through marriage. I've got 684 Parkers in my database, but I haven't explored my Parker connections in a long time.
