6393. Lieut. Hananiah Parker. Born ca 1638 in Lynn or Reading, MA. Hananiah died in Reading, MA 10 Mar 1723/4.81

From the Parker Genealogy, pages 31–32:231
Hananiah Parker settled on land which bordered his fathers farm. (This it seems was situated about a half-mile east of Dea. Thomas Parker’s, on the main road from Lynn to Lowell, now Lowell Street in Wakefield, and upon which place Hananiah’s descendants, through his son Ebenezer, occupoied and lived for five generations in the Parker name. ...) The assessors’ list of 1667 credits him with a house and farm. He was made a freeman Oct. 15, 1679. He belonged to Reading’s military company, of which he was chosed ensign in 1680, and lieutenant in 1684. It is evident that his Puritan townsmen had confidence in his ability and character at an early date, for in 1679 he with tow others were given charge of building a new Meeting-house. He was then chosen by the General Court one of the Committee to ‘rectifie and settle the highway between Woburn and Reading.’ Consider the energy and industry of our ancestor when we say that in addition to the great work of changing the primeval forest to a fertile farm he performed the duties of selectman, town clerk and representative, each for a long period. The military affairs required much of his time, if not active service at certain periods. Traingings were frequent and an absence cost a heavy fine. Every Sunday found him at church, to which he and wife connected themselves very soon after marriage. The Church records mention his name with respect. As a representative of Reading to the General Court at Boston he served seven years. He was a typical Puritan yeoman, the father of a rugged, honorable family of children. He gave thought to the education of the young. In 1707 Lt. Hananiah Parker and Capt. John Browne were appointed committee ‘to provide a Scool Master for the towne school.’ They reported that John Webb of Braintree ‘be chosen to teach reading, writing, casting accounts and the Latin and Greek tongues’ for the three months next ensuing.

Hananiah made a deposition in 1672 stating he was 34 years old (Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, 4:85). He was made a freeman in 1679, and served as selectman, town clerk, and representative of Reading. On 12 Nov 1706 Lieut. Hananiah Parker of Reading deeded to John Eaton of Reading part of the tlot that was Nicholas Browne’s (ibid., 27:535). On 13 Jun 1712 John Parker Sr of Reading, joiner (with consent of his wife Deliverance and honored father Lieut. Hanahiah Parker) deeded his homestead to Jonathan Poole of Reading (ibid., 25:161).232

Hananiah’s will, dated 20 May 1703, probated 30 Mar 1724, names wife Mary, sons Jon, Samuel, & Ebenezer, daughter Mary Pool, grandchildren, and brother Nathaniel, and gives to son John 3 acres of meadow which was his grandfather Brown’s gift to his mother.232
