Believed to be a son of Richard's second wife, Sarah Lentz, whose date and place of death and burial remain unknown.
Note, although the Rowan County Genealogical Society's cemetery book lists Richard with the middle name of "Christenbury," there is no middle name or initial on his gravestone, nor on any extant documents containing his name.
The information concerning a middle name seems to come from the notes of David Kirk Shaver, Sr. in his inventory of Stony Hill Methodist Church cemetery in Stanly County in which he lists Martha Jane Parker Kirk (wife of Thomas P. Kirk) as the daughter of Richard Christenbury Parker. However, "Christenbury" was the middle name of Thomas P. Kirk's father, Daniel Christenbury Kirk. Thomas & Martha named one of their sons "Richard Christenbury Kirk."
