Joseph COPELAND was a birthright Quaker, he was a retired professor at the time we corresponded. He had told me that he had carried on the work that his grandmother and mother had been doing for the past 100 years. He was planning to publish his research at that time. He became ill and was never able to complete his task. Perhaps some day one of his children will follow through with his work.

John Parker (July 13, 1729 - September 17, 1775) was an American farmer, mechanic, and soldier who commanded the Massachusetts militia at Lexington during the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Parker was born in Lexington and his experience as a soldier in the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) at the Siege of Louisbourg and conquest of Quebec most likely led to his election as militia captain by the men of the town.

He was in poor health from consumption (tuberculosis) on the morning of April 19. Tradition reports his order at Lexington Green to be "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." He witnessed his cousin Jonas Parker killed by a British bayonet. Later that day he rallied his men to attack the regulars returning to Boston in an ambush known as "Parker's Revenge."

This was his only military action in the American Revolutionary War. He was unable to serve in the Battle of Bunker Hill in June, and died of tuberculosis a few months later. Parker's grandson donated his musket to the state of Massachusetts. It hangs today in the Massachusetts State House Senate Chamber.

Captain John Parker is still the symbol of one of the largest and strongest mutual companies, Sentry Insurance.
