Excerpt from The Parker and Kearny Families of New Jersey: A Paper Read Before the New Brunswick Historical Society, February 18, 1897 Mr. Whitehead shows that the first Elisha he men tions was old enough to be a grand-father in May, 1676, which, if he was the son of the Elisha of Barnstable would confer that honor upon him at the age of 16. (not even the Parkers are so precocious as that.) He also mentions two deeds - one from Elisha to his son Elisha, dated 1680, and another from Elisha to his son John, dated in 1707. The signature to the first deed was evidently that of a man then very old; the signature of the second deed was that of a very much younger man. The will of the second Elisha, the signa ture to which is the same as that of the second deed, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of State at Tren ton. In that will he provides for his children and for his wife Ursula. The second Elisha mentioned by Mr.

Whitehead married Catharine Alexander and died child less. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
