Son and legatee of Thomas John Parker (d. c. 1823): his widow Mary's second husband Edward Lewis Blight Pearse (q.v.) was party to a Chancery suit into which the compensation for three awards in Vere Jamaica was paid.

1. Baptised St Marylebone 03/12/1793, son of Thomas John Parker and Rachael Stevens his wife. He was apparently dead by the time of the compensation process, when his widow Mary had remarried, but administration of his will [made in 1824] was not granted until 1842. He left his estate in trust (his trustees were his brother Henry Parker, late of Blakes Hotel in Duke Street but then in Jamaica, and Sarah Mackenzie of Twickenham) with half to his wife for life and the other half to his children.
