William first married Mary Rawlins, second Mary Turner.

“William Parker was a freeman 1640. He had sixty acres of land north of Edward Foster’s North river lot. His house stood in Parker lane, west of the small brook.”6

From Mrs. John E. Barclay’s article “William Parker of Scituate, Mass.” The American Genealogist, Vol. 41, 1965, page 102-106
      Very little seems to have been written about William Parker of Scituate, Mass., and his children, and this is understandable when one attempts to put together the information from the vital records and his will. There are some births in the Town Records and the Church provides a few baptismal records; the death records are incomplete as well as the marriages. Although he left a well-drawn will, it was impossible from all these date to produce a satisfactory record of the family. After studying the Plymouth Colony records, the names mentioned in the wills and numerous deeds, it was discovered that there were several pitfalls and that confusion reigned supreme in the articles already written.
      The discovery that Thomas Rawlins of Boston, brother of William Parker's first wife, had died without issue, leaving a will naming as heirs his nephews andnieces, helped immeasurably in the final solution and clarified some very puzzling aspects. it proved without a doubt that only one childe (Patience) by the first wife was living in 1681, and that Stephen Totman, the grandson mentioned in William Parker's will, had to be the son of another daughter by the first wife (Mary, deceased), and that the other two children (William and Martha) by this wife had died before 1681 without issue.
      This also brought to light the fact that William Parker had two sons named William, one by each wife; the birth of the first one was recorded but not his death; and the second William was born so much later, probably his last child by his younger second wife, that it seemed logical (as the earlier writers supposed) to place him as son of the William first recorded and as grandson of William1. Also, to complicate matters, there were two daughters named Mary, one by each wife, the first being the oldest of his children. Her birth and baptism were recorded but not her marriage. She had one child and died soon after under tragic circumstances, as will be related. The second Mary was by the second wife and one of the last children. Neither birth nor baptismal record was found for her, but proof came to light from other sources...
      It is not known when William Parker arrived in Scituate, but before 1 Feb. 1638 when he took the Oath of Allegiance. He was a proprietor; a freeman by 1 Dec. 1640; and in 1674 had a grant of land as an old resident. His will, Plymouth Colony Wills and inventories, 4;2:76, dated 1 July 1684, proved 3 Oct. 1684, bequeaths to son Joseph, land; daughter patience Randall, 5s.; grandchild Stephen Totman, 12d; 'to loving wife Mary, ye whole benefit and profit of my whole estate both lands, housing, movables and cattle during her widowhood but if she marry again she shall have but one third for life, then to be returned and divided amongst six of my children namely: Miles, Nathaniel, William, Lidia, mary and Judith, only my son Miles a double portion; my wife to receive debts due and to pay just debts and i name her executrix, she to have power to dispose of so much of any part of my estate necessary to maintain herself and bring up the children.'

He was severely wounded in the expedition against the Narragansetts in 1673. On his return to Scituate the twon ‘chose Serj. John Damon to go with Joseph Turner and procure a cure for him; also to support him at the town’s expense so lon as he liveth.’ He recovered, and rejoined the troops under Governor Winslow, and was at the stroming of the Narragansett fort 19 Dec 1675.
