Just to add to the Robert Parker problem... Ross Johnston's WV Estate Settlements also gives a will abstract for a Robert Parker (2-20-1809) with a wife named Grace (and sons John and Wm and daughter Mary), in Hampshire Co. There are many other Parkers listed there--let me know if you are interested in any of them. Not an easy row to hoe, this name!
