The Kentucky Gazette: (Lexington, Ky) Mar 5, 1800 reported:
"Robert Parker, county surveyor for Fayette county. Died at his seat, six miles from Lexington, Tuesday night, March 5, 1800."
However, Robert's tombstone records the death date as March 4th, and it is doubtful the newspaper reported an evening death on the same day it was printed.
