Archibald Parker, the brother who accompanied John to Kentucky, remained back in Maryland, most probably at his father's home in Harford County, for a number of years. During the War of 1812, he served as a private in Capt. Hooks company of the Regiment, 38th U. S. Infantry. Following his service in the Army, Archibald rejoined his brother John in Kentucky where he died in 1816.

He is buried at Cane Ridge, Bourbon County, Kentucky. A land grant was made posthumously to Archibald Parker for his service in the War of 1812. The land warrant, numbered 27156, issued by the United States, granted them "the North East quarter of Section Fourteen in Township Eighteen North of Range Twelve West, in the District of Lands subject to Sale at Danville, Illinois, containing One hundred and Sixty Acres". It was registered to "John Parker, Samuel Parker, Chloe Bowles, Elizabeth Bryant, and Nancy Cofman, the brothers and sisters and only heirs at law of Archibald Parker, deceased", and was signed by President Tyler, dated June 1, 1844.
