PARKER: Origins of a Surname
This great and noble surname is English. Borne by the Earls of Morley and Macclesfield; the Barons of Boringdon and Monteagle, and having more than sixty Coats of Arms, it is ultimately of French occupational origins. It described an official in charge of the extensive hunting parks of a king or wealthy landowner. The derivation is from the words "parchier" or "parquier" meaning "park- keeper". The surname was first recorded in England in the latter half of the 11th Century following…

John Richard Parker
My maternal great-grandmother was a Parker, allegedly descended from John Richard Parker (Cynthia Ann Parker's brother.) My mother has very little info about her family history - and so far, it stands to reason. John Richard must be the most undocumented Parker of all. As I begin the task of "extracting" information from my mother, I welcome whatever information that anyone can share. I look forward to discovering my true Parker connection, whatever it turns out to be.
