  Research Notes:

Elisha Parker, the youngest and only surviving child of Benjamin, and grandson of Jacob Parker, was born in 1814 in West Yarmouth, near Parker's river, which derives its name from the Parker family. Mr. Parker's mother was Elizabeth Crowell. He was a shoemaker by trade, and kept a shoe store at South Yarmouth until 1884, when he retired from business. During the last twenty years of his business life he was connected with a woolen mill at Falmouth, and supplied the stores on the Cape with the noted Falmouth jeans and kerseys. He was married in 1837 to Elizabeth Baker, who died. Two of their three sons are living: Edward K. and Silas B.; Benjamin H. died at the age of seventeen years. In 1860 he married his second wife, Mary A. Smith. Mr. Parker is a member of the South Yarmouth Methodist Episcopal church. --- http://capecodhistory.us/Deyo/Yarmouth.html
