Probated in Middlesex County, NJ, the Will was found by June Parker on her trip to New Jersey in 2005. It contains a couple of "surprises"and confirms that the Parkers in Perth Amboy, NJ were "indeed our Parkers."

You can read June's very interesting notes that include a discussion of the 7 children named "Elisha" from 1630 to ci. 1725; read about the extensive land ownership of Elisha Sr; read about the "castle" he built and then read the Will itself.
