From the Parker Genealogy:231
    “His life covered the period of the early growth of the colonies, the hardships, wars and rugged life of the times. A preserved record, now at Lexington, is in his own handwriting and reads: ‘John Parker and his wife Deliverance were married the 2: of October 1689.’ ... They settled soon after marriage on a part of the original Dea. Thomas Parker place in the centre of the town, which farm adjoined that of Lt. Hananiah Parker. Three of John Parker’s deeds made at this period are preserved at Lexington. In 1699 he purchased of John Poole land on the north end of the Great Pond, ‘Lake Quanapowit.’ In 1705 he added 21 acres to his estate by a purchase of Mr. Francis Smith ‘for a valuable sum of money.’ This land lay upon the bounds of Lynn and Reading.”231

John and Deliverance “settled soon after marriage on part of the original Deacon Thomas Parker place in the center of the town, his farm adjoining that of his father, Hananiah. Three of the deeds of John Parker and a record of his marriage in his own handwriting have been preserved. In 1699 he purchased of John Poole, land on the north end of the Great Pond, Lake Quanapowit. He bought and sold many other lots of land in the vicinity. He was a constable of Reading. In the spring of 1712 Parker removed with his family to Lexington, then Cambridge Farms, and settled on the homestead still [1908] occupied by his descendants. He was fence viewer in Lexington in 1714; tithingman in 1714 and 1721. He must have been a man of character and dignity, for in seating the meeting house in 1731 he was placed on the second seat with Ensign John Mason, Thomas Mead, and other leading citizens. .... Parker was a carpenter and joiner by trade, and he built a shop in which he made farm implements, furniture and useful things. He taught his trade to his sons, and they in turn to theirs for many generations.”108
