John Parker, of London

Don't confuse with John Parker, of Great Burstead. This is not the same man. The parents of this John Parker are known.

The early genealogy of the Parker family as given in the heraldic visitations of Devon appears unreliable. A deed exists which records that in 1550 Edmund Parker, "gent" the son and heir apparent of John Parker of North Molton, Esquire, was granted by John la Zouche, 8th Baron Zouche (of Haryngworth), 9th Baron St Maur (c. 1486–1550), by deed of gift, the office of bailiff of the manor of North Molton and lands called "Legh" for the term of his life.[8] Three years later in 1553 the Parkers built Court House. Having originated in North Molton and having built Court House, the Parker family steadily grew in importance.

The descent of the family is given as follows in the Heralds' Visitation of Devon:[11]

• Thomas Parker (d.1545), buried in his family vault under the chancel, married Elizabeth Fry, daughter and co-heiress of John Fry of "Frye's Hele" barton in the parish of Meeth, near Hatherleigh, which was still owned by the Earl of Morley in 1822 according to Lysons, Magna Britannia.[12]
• John I Parker (son), married the heiress of Thomas Ellicott of Bratton Clovelly, Devon, 8 miles west of Okehampton. The Earl of Morley still held Ellicott Barton in 1822 as reported by Lysons.[13] It seems to have been the daughter of this John Parker, Anne Parker, who became in about 1570 the second wife of William Peryam (1534–1604), of Little Fulford near Crediton, the future Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Buried in the family vault under the chancel on 18 May 1611,[14]
