William Parker B. 1618, his brothers Ralph Parker and John Parker were the sons of William Parker. This according to new England Marriages Prior to 1700, page 559. They have them being born in Conn. However, this is impossible since no settlers were in Conn. in 1818. Possibly they meant they were of Conn. at the time of there marriages. William Parker married Mary Rawlins . in Scituate, Ma. April 1639. This would be the right time frame to make him and her Robert's parents. More proof is needed.
