_ + This statement, for the insertion of which in the grant the authority is not 
now known, appears open to question, The parents of this Rowland Parker 
were married 9th July 1632, and his two elder brothers, John and William, 
were baptized respectively 23rd June 1633 and 11th October 1635. Rowland 
was baptized January 8th 1640-1; and supposing him to have been not quite 
-aninfant at that date, this would not allow of his being of sufficient age to have 
held a commission in the royal army.
