In 1713 (as above) George Parker Sr. left his 1/2 of Ship Rack Island to his son George (Jr.) and in 1727 young George sold his 150 acre interest in Rack Island to John Justice, but two years later, the two of them united in a sale to William Burton, who thus became the owner of the whole (Whitelaw, p. 1139). The 375 acres called "Kickotanck" which he left to his daughter Elizabeth, is part of today's Assawoman Island, although the land books carried it as Cargathy Beach, Whitelaw's A120. This part was originally patented to Daniel Jenifer in 1683. In 1688 Jenifer sold it to George Parker, and in 1724 Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bradford sold to William Burton, Elizabeth having been the devisee and heir of George Parker. In 1740, the Bradfords joined with William Burton of Northampton, son and heir of the above William Burton, in a sale of the whole as 375 acres to Ralph Justice, calling it "Kikotank" Island.⁷

Her husband William Parker named a brother-in-law John Powell in his will, so she was probably the daughter of Nicholas Powell of N'hamp County..⁴ William proved a will on 30 November 1686 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that the verbal will of Peter Parker was proved by William Parker, age about 34 & Mary Martiall, age about 55.³ He made a will on 13 August 1696 at Accomack Co, VA.

It was on this date that his will was probated..^5,6

     Scarburgh was born in May 1691 at Accomack Co, VA. Scarbough Parker’s age was determined as follows: George Parker’s will probated 1713 but written in 1708 sheds light on the date of William Parker’s marriage to Elizabeth Scarborough and the birth of their daughter, Scarborough. Using logic provided by the will of George Parker probated in 1713 stating that Scarborough would be 18 years of age the following May would place Scarbourgh birth in May 1691. (1708 date of will - 17 years current age). Now George Parker is response to Elizabeth’s court suit was dated August 1703 and he states that Scarborough has been his charge for the last 3 years and 8 months. Obviously, William is and has been dead for that same period of time or longer. Also consider that William was unmarried in January 1689 when he made his will. Using the calculations above places Scarborough’s birth in May 1691. To make all of this hypothesis work William would have had to recover from his serious illness of January 1689, marry Elizabeth Scarborough in 1690 and had a child, Scarborough Parker all within a two year period of time. This would also put Scarborough as 9 years of age at the time of William’s death in late 1700/1. Adding in the difference of time between William’s death and the date that George wrote his will would place Scarborough’s age at 17 years which matches perfectly with George’s comment that Scarbourgh would be 18 next May. Also adding to this conclusion is the fact that George parker made an attempt to claim his brother William’s land in the early 1700’s (actual petition is undated) and was rejected by the Somerset County courts as William’s will left his "personal estate" to George and the courts considered the land as "real estate." Therefore the land belonged to Scarborough not George. In George’s will he left this land to Scarborough and "heirs of her body" which is why her husband, Jonas Jackson could not claim the land and it fell to her eldest son, Nathaniel as heir at law. (James R. Revell Sr., Chesapeake, VA)

.² George Parker, Senior, petitioned the Court on 4 Aug 1703 that at the request of William Parker, his now deceased brother, he had kept William’s child named Scarburgh Parker. For three years and eight months, George had provided for the child equal with his own for diet & lodging etc., and had provided clothing for some part of the time. He now presented an account and asked to be paid 2500 pounds of tobacco out of his brother’s estate, which the court judged to be reasonable.^3,2 Scarburgh was named in her uncle's will in 1708 at Accomack Co, VA.
