As Emigrants in Bondage 1614 - 1775 is only available on Worldwide membership of Ancestry I would be very grateful if someone could have a look at the record to see what other information there might be.

The trial at the Old Bailey can be seen by googling "old bailey richard parker". I have his first marriage to Barbary Farr, the birth of four sons, her death in 1743, and the births of his sons Peter (1747) and Daniel (1748) with a wife? named Mary. Peter is my 4xgt.grandfather.

Thank you
Jackie

Many thanks for the information. The plot seems to get thicker as about eight years later "Richard Parker" re-appears in Shadwell. Did he come back to England? His son Richard would have only been seventeen so I don't think he would have been renting property.

Once again many thanks.
