According to Douglas Richardson’s Royal Ancestry, Richard Parker is a royal gateway ancestor. This post also includes the Daniels and Jenkinses who married into the Parkers, and all of their (available) descendants. This post goes from 1683 to 1840 and includes counties outside of Virginia.

These data are mostly uninterpreted. You can have the fun of sorting them out.

The newlywed Daniels in Goochland Co. may descend from the James Daniel who married Jane Hicks and died in 1761, in Albemarle Co. More research needs to be done to determine this. See the Daniels of Early Virginia and Beyond.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY

This county grew out of Goochland in 1749, so maybe the Parkers, Daniels and Jenkins did not have to move—or at least not very far—because the new county was formed under their feet.
