- Biographical Description
- Middlesex County records contain several birth certificates and manumission certificates for an enslaver named Ann Parker, who was listed as a widow and dowager in the 1810s, residing in the City of New Brunswick within North Brunswick Township. These county records likely refer to Ann Parker née Lawrence (daughter of John Lawrence), the wife of John Parker (1763–1801). By marriage to John Parker, she was related to the prominent Parker family of Perth Amboy: she was the sister-in-law of U.S. Congressman and Rutgers University benefactor James Parker Jr. (1776-1868), and the daughter-in-law of James Parker Sr. (1725–1797) and Gertrude Parker née Skinner (1739-1811).
