    3. I just found a piece of paper with the following. It is a continuation page and I don't have the source, nor the previous page. I am sending this because there has been some recent PARKER and MCGUIRE emails. It reads, "and his wife, Elizabeth. John PARKER's will was proved in Hampshire County, 11/11/1670. There were six children of this union. Catherine relict of John PARKER, married Thomas MCGUIRE. Her will was proved 9/12/1786, and she left her property to her well beloved step son, William MCGUIRE. In J.N. Toner's Diary of Washington, he states April 26, 1750; plat drawn, 'Then survey for John PARKER of South Branch a certain tract of waste land situate in Frederick and on Little Cacapon and about 1/2 mile, above Buffalo Lick and bounded as followeth, etc.' There was an old fort at PARKERs. This defense was situated on the South Branch of the Potomac, ten miles from Fort Ashby on the same stream and had a garrison of thirty men. A scap of informtion in Hamilton's 'Letters to Washington' runs, ' A weekly return of company of Rangers stationed at PARKERs plantation under command of Captain COOKES 19th Dec 1775' shows on that date 27 'total 'effectives'."
