Harris reports50 that in “Joseph Parker’s petition mentioned above he says Richard ‘left three sons and one daughter whom I married unto.’ It would seem that Joseph should have known there was another daughter. Ferris lived in Charlestown and moved to Stratford [Connecticut] in 1705 and removed from the scene probably made Joseph’s purpose less complicated and hence was not mentioned. It will be noticed that in naming their children Zachariah & Sarah after honoring their own names named the third child Richard.”
