Biography:
The son of JAMES and MARY (PARKER) PARKER. His father and mother were killed by the Indians, in their assault on the town, July 27, 1694; he was captured at the same time, and held a prisoner during four years. He was released, probably in the summer of 1698; and a petition to the General Court, dated May 31, 1699, represents him as being "lame of one of his Leggs occasioned by ye cruelty of ye Salvages," and says that "it is very questionable whether ever he will be cured, & has little or nothing left him of his Fathers estate for his support."
In answer to this petition, it was voted that six pounds of money be allowed out of the public treasury.
Phinehas is the only of his siblings who returned to Groton. Upon the death of his first wife he remarried.
