1727 Midd/NJ listed as dec'd in son, James' apprentice indenture; Jun 24; mother listed as Jana Paine(remarried to Nathaniel Paine)Note: Samuel was a well known person who owned a noted farm located at Strawberry Hill. He married Jana Inglis and they had 4 sons. Jana survived him & married, Nathaniel Paine, who was a rich businessman. Nathaniel and Jana are buried in the Presbyterian cemetery of Woodbridge. Sources indicate Samuel was previously married but no children known. I think this is an error; Jana was his 1st and only wife.
Book: Whitehead, William A. "Early History of Perth Amboy". NY: D. Appleton & Co., 1854; Info given on Samuel Parker is incorrect. Shows he had 2 wives by age 17? The most noteworthy of this line was Samuel's father, Elisha Parker(Parker Castle). many records of his life
Note: Parker Bible(1566) of Jana Inglis has marr of Samuel Parker to Jana Inglis; also their children; signaturesNote: In a letter between son James Parker and Benjamin Franklin, James mentions a sister. Scholars believe he is referring to Elisha's wife, whom he is caring for. William B., ed. "The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 16, January 1 through December 31, 1769" New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1972, pp. 72-78.

1719 Midd/NJ She signed her Bible as Jana Inglis Parker; also as Jana Inglis. Bible once had a page per Book with this; Iana (Parker) boock 1719. This spelling of book shows Scot language difference; she was likely Scottish; Inglis is a Scottish surname for English.

Moller, Suzanne, "Archivist and Historian, First Presbyterian Church", 600 Rahway Ave., Woodbridge, NJ 07095.
Note: Inglis is a Scots surname: Perth-Amboy was one of the ports for notorious Scot immigration of 1685-1715. NY city was port of entry, 30 miles, by water, from Woodbridge.
Note Assumptions: (1) Jana is mother to William Paschal, b ca 1704, by previous marriage. (2) William could alternately have been an orphan of boat passenger adopted by them. (3) A sister to Jana could have married a Paschall and Jana adopted William.
Note: Thomas Inglis, Sr., Innkeeper, Perth Amboy, seems to be her brother. His will - New Jersey, Abstract of Wills, 1670-1817, Vol. XXX, p. 258, 259, Thomas Inglis. He was witness with her for her son, John Parker's apprenticeship in 1723 in NY. New York Historical Society, "Indentures of Apprentices, 1718-1727", Cornell University Library, 2007, p. 160.
Books: Klett, Joseph R., ed., "Genealogies of New Jersey Families". From The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, Volume I, p. 687-688. Has only known info on Jana Inglis
Note on Bible: She was owner of 1566 Bible with 2 signatures of Wm Paschal, 1730; donated to Delaware Historical Society in 1871. Jana's Bible original cost estimate: about 2 years common labor in 1566, 50-100 pds. This means Jana was likely educated and upper class as shown by her management of Parker and Nathaniel's business after their deaths...see NJ archives, Supreme Court dockets, Janna Pain(Payne).
Note: Joseph Dally's list of vitals for Woodbridge stopped in 1708 when book (Libre A) was filled. Book likely went to dust per Dally. Thus all vitals after 1708 were not recorded....Note: Libre A was copied by Nathaniel Fitz-Randolph; It was quoted by Dally, but Fitz-Randolph's book not found today. Dally, Joseph W., "Vital Records of Woodbridge, New Jersey". New Jersey: Hunterdon House, 1983.
Note: William's will names daughter, Dianna, M's, son, Engles King, was to get his parents land when they died. Engles was commonly used for surname Inglis. Engles King, later in life, used Inglish as given name. This is a remarkable memory by William of his early life in Woodbridge. This indicates a close relationship to Jana Inglis.

Note: A Samuel Parker, nephew to James Parker, printer, was bound to James to learn printing trade; he worked in printing shop. Stole funds and went to Cape Fear, Brunswick Co, NC, where he died c1770. I s not known which son of the brothers of James this nephew desends from. Not likely Elisha(2nd wife). Per 1982, Allen Dyer biography.
Note: This John appears to be james' bro who with wife/ch died at sea? By elimination.
