Parker had a brother named Samuel, who died at 20 and was buried at the First Presbyterian Churchyard in Woodbridge Township. Parker had a daughter Jane Ballareau Parker who married Gunning Bedford Jr., a Founding Father of the United States and a signer of the United States Constitution. A popular American legal manual issued by different printers and publishers largely based on English sources, primarily Burn. The first edition by Parker appeared in 1764. The 1792 Philadelphia edition was the last to include the Ten Pound Act and the sections on military and excise law, which were omitted from subsequent editions after the Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania. The preface says this edition, though useful throughout the country, is especially suited for justices in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Albany New York imprint.

First edition. Contains Washington's farewell address ("America's Legacy"), delivered September 17, 1796. "All the calculations, astronomical notes, and weather predictions on the calendar pages are identical with those in Hutchins improved for 1797. The notes also duplicate almost entirely those in Greenleaf's New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey almanack for this year. Both of these almanacs were calculated by Andrew Beers, though without his name on the title pages. The notes are identical also with those in his Beers's almanac and ephemeris for 1797, published at Hartford, and in Stoddard's diary or The Columbian almanack for 1797 (Hudson, N.Y.), also issued with Beers's name as calculator. "Evans attributes this issue of Webster's calendar, as he does nearly all almanacs published under the Bickerstaff pseudonym, to Benjamin West. The attribution is traditional, but the majority of these almanacs can be shown to have been the work of other calculators" (Yale online catalogue). …
