1) Is it perhaps worth retaining information pertaining to a middle name that appeared in the profile merged into this one? That full name was " Amariah Fassett Parker."
2) FindAGrave.com has a memorial at Find A Grave: Memorial #160239586 (not for a burial site) for an "Amariah Parker," claiming this is a son of John Parker-31119 & Rebeckah Fletcher-1422. This may not be accurate. Note inter alia mention of him enlisting in the Continental Army at age 44, then serving at Valley Forge in 1777, which would push his birthdate back to ~1733
3) Different info on Family Search also claims he's John & Rebeckah Parkers' son, but born in 1753 (too late for these parents??): "Pedigree Resource File," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:SB8G-CJL : accessed 9 February 2019), entry for Amariah /Parker/; file (2:2:2:MMW3-LPN), submitted 14 May 2011.
"Amariah Parker was born May 11, 1738 in Cornwall, England, and died Mar 15, 1788 in Morristown, Morris, New Jersey, USA.He married Tamor Munson on 1764 in Morristown, Morris, New Jersey, USA. ... Children of Amariah Parker and Tamor Munson are: Jacob Parker, b. Oct 10, 1777, Morristown, Morris, New Jersey, USA186, d.

Similar information appears on FamilySearch.org: "Pedigree Resource File," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3XWT-1G3 : accessed 9 February 2019), entry for Amariah /Parker/, cites sources; "Charles Lesli Senrick tree" file (2:2:2:MM6Q-23C), submitted 7 September 2017 by Charles Senrick [identity withheld for privacy].
Odd that A.F.Parker comes into this, I had recently been looking at AmaZiah Fasset Parker who went to Indiana - named after a defender at Bunker Hill.
Why would someone go from Chelmsford to New Jersey in that period?
He is mentioned on Page 43 of Parker in America as the son of Eliab and Martha Andrews, b. 1768, he would have been 14 when the revolution ended. And the section appears to be talking about Parkers in Connecticut.
