| Notes for Maynard PARKER |
From "Parker in America", p. 301:
"He first settled in Annapolis. In 1832 he removed to Lunenburg; later to have a church at LaHave and, in 1841, settled at Pugwash, where he remained until 1852, when he removed to Londonderry; he was settled there until he died c. 1857; his widow died shortly after. He was considered a very able pastor and preached most acceptable in his different charges."
Early in the 1820s Maynard purchased 100 acres of land at Clevelands from his father-in-law Shippy Spurr. The undated deed was recorded 6 March, 1824 (Annapolis County Deed Book #21 p 448). On January 21 of 1824 he had purchased 150 acres on Lot 40 in the second division. He now had 250 acres of land next to John Cooper Spurr. This was sold 26 Sept. 1838.
"He became a minister in the Baptist Church, having been ordained by a council of ministers at Lunenburg in August 1831. He was then appointed to the church at North-West Range for a year. There was a brief pastorate at La Have and then in 1841 he was appointed to the Pugwash church where he served until 1852.
Upon his death, the "Christian Messenger" reported, "His abilities were moderate and his character respectable. He was a man of a quiet retiring dispostiion and somewhat inclined to melancholy. Perhaps this made him feel more sensibly the value of Gospel Comfort, and fitted him to be a son of consolation to others"
[Spurr Family, by Vernon Spurr, p 561-562]
