Biography

Admiral Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet, of Shenstone, naval officer, son of George Parker and related to the Jervis family: his uncle by marriage, the first Viscount St Vincent, was also his father's cousin, and his own cousin married the 2nd Viscount St Vincent (q.v.). He was awarded a share of the compensation for the Canaan estate in Westmoreland Jamaica with the 2nd Viscount St Vincent and Francis Love Beckford senior, almost certainly as trustee.
