Who are William Parkers parents?

Question

William Parker 1780-1849. This fellow is driving me nuts.  I can find his marriage to Anna Plummer in Brunswick, ME in 1807, but nothing else. His grand-daughter (Irene Parker) married Franklin Small - a surname common to North Yarmouth Maine. A grand-child was named Loring - again a North Yarmouth surname.  Plummer is also a North Yarmouth surname. They all wind up in Grundy county Ill.  He should be a descendant of James Parker Parker-5106 of North Yarmouth, but I can't find the connection. I've been fleshing out the North Yarmouth Parkers in the hopes that he turns up. No luck so far.

Answer 1

Trying something different.  I've pulled all of the Parkers from Find-a-Grave who are buried in Maine and who died before 1820, going to dig through each of those families, there are only 22 of them, and I have already dug through 4, interesting that 5 different branches of my family are there. There are other Parker lines as well, might turn up something interesting from all this.

I did a physical check (I drove to them and looked) of 8 cemeteries in Cumberland county last weekend - the Find-a-Grave coverage is pretty good, of the 10 Parker families I noted, all were already on Find-a-Grave. Of the ~700 photos I took, only about 30 people were not previously on Find-a-Grave.

Obviously not something you could do in a more densely populated time & place.
