Hello Peter, Thanks for the list. I am interested as I have a great great grandfather Francis Parker born Abt. 1817 somewhere in New England. Never knew of his parents or any siblings. He shipwrecked in the Bahama Islands, married and produced seven children that I know of: John-b. 1837, unknown, Sarah, Margaret, Francis, Rebecca and William (my great grandfather). All the children were born on Eleuthera, Bahamas. The list: Is this a handwritten list? Is it hard to read? I am asking because I was really hoping the Frances Parker b. 1815 on the list could be Francis Parker. Probably not as I see the mother's name is Frances. Freshwater is a very interesting last name. Can you tell me more about it. A last name like that in the United States or North America for that matter would probably be an American Indian name.
