Additional Comments: This is the inventory of the estate of Jacob Parker b. 1727 & d. 1791, whose will was written on 17 March 1791 in Greene County, Georgia, and was proven on 11 July 1791. The estate sale of Jacob Parker Sr is often confused with that of his son Jacob Jr, Jacob Jr had some of the same property and died just under three years after his father, leading to hasty, wrong conclusions.
