According to the Virginia History Magazine, Will was the Archdeacon of Cornwall and Justice of Peace of same county. Second brother of Thomas; Was of Browsholme, Esq'r, who went from Browsholme into Cornwall about 1580. His home is called Traugoe in the parish of Wartegin, in Cornwall, about 16 miles of Launston. According to A Parochial and Family History of the Parish of Blisland, Cornwall by John MacLean: William Parker was the third son of Robert Parker of Brousholm, County York. He took his Holy Orders, and was instituted to the Rectory of Blisland in 1601. In 1616, he was made Archdeacon of Cornwall.

Property: Traugoe Warleggan, Liskeard, Cornwall, Warleggan : "Small sparsely populated parish on the edge of Bodmin Moor, dissected by heavily wooded valleys. Until a road was built in 1953 linking it to the A38 it had the reputation of being one of the most remote areas of Cornwall. Mainly a cattle farming region, the hamlet of Warleggan consists of about eleven houses, a church and a chapel. The last vicar to live here, the Reverend Frederick Densham, was boycotted by parishioners and eventually preached to an empty church. He lived the life of a hermit until one day he was found dead in his barricaded house. A book by Daphne du Maurier was based on his story."
