His D.Cert. (26705 {Suffolk #755) also gives his widow as Mary, as does at 
   least one other record.  Her name was Sarah Elizabeth (HARRELL) PARKER, 
   but most records give Bettie.  Her gravestone shows Sarah H. PARKER. 
   (Find a Grave Mem. #15558812) 

The step-children have me baffled.  Neither of his wives had previously been 
   married.  (mh)
