From Samuel A. Green's Epitaphs, 1878, p.17:

"The son of JAMES and ABIGAIL (PRESCOTT) PARKER, born February 20, 1722-3. His father's epitaph immediately precedes his own."

WHMA in "The Boston Transcript" included in "Parker in America" first cites that the heirs of James were his siblings, but in a correction some time later indicates that he married Rebecca Bulkley in Pepperell. In 1750-1 a widow "Rebecca Parker" marries Jonas Prescott Jr. of Westford.
