- William Parker, wife Elizabeth, left to his son William; there is no record of his death, but he is believed to have died without heir and the land passed to his sisters Comfort and Patience. In 1709 John and Comfort Roades sold her interest to Thomas Copes, and 10 years later when Patience had died without issue, her interest passed to Comfort and the Roades sold that half also to Thomas Copes. Beyond that nothing is very definite, but it is believed to have been merged with the Copes part of the Peter Walker land.
