William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle had six children; 3 daughters; Frances, Catherine and Elizabeth & 3 sons; Henry, William and Charles. His eldest son Henry Parker became the 14th Baron Morley & 5th Baron Monteagle upon the death of his father & after his death in 1655, his only son Thomas Parker inherited the titles. However, when Thomas died in 1686, the titles went into abeyance as there were no direct male heirs.
IF there had been another son George who left male descendants, then they would have inherited the titles.

I have messaged the creator and manager of George Parker's profile but did not receive a response. Can George Parker George Parker, Sr. be disconnected from this family?

Thank you,
Jenny

P.S. I am working on this line as a descendant married into my Becher family.

Hi Jennifer, I notice some duplication in this line among the few descendants:

(A tad off-topic perhaps, but may shed some light on where this George came from.)

Certainly might! Hopefully the creator of the profile might be able to follow that; unfortunately I have gathered that it is often difficult for settlers in the USA in that era to find out where their family came from [luckily for me, records were much better by the time people emigrated to Australia]. I am surprised to see the George Edward 1630-1680 with a middle name, as they were exceptionally rare in that era; just stating to come in some of the noble families [Royalty did of course!]. It seems more likely that he was just George Parker...
