Philip Parker-a-Morley-Long

Sir Philip Parker-a-Morley-Long, 3rd Baronet (1682 – 20 January 1741) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1715 to 1734.

Early life

Parker was born at Arwarton, Suffolk, the son of Sir Philip Parker, 2nd Baronet, and Mary Fortrey. He took the name of Long on inheriting the estate of Whaddon in Wiltshire from his great-uncle Sir Walter Long. The original Coat of Long was, through some error, allowed to him by the College of Arms.

Career

Parker was returned as Member of Parliament (MP) for Harwich at the 1715 general election and held the seat until 1734.[1]

Family

On 11 July 1715 Parker married in London, Martha East and they had four daughters:

  • Martha (1716–1775) married John Thynne Howe, 2nd Baron Chedworth
  • Elizabeth (1717–1757)
  • Katherine (b. 1719)
  • Dyonisia (b. 1722)

Death

On 20 January 1741, John Perceval, 1st Earl of Egmont wrote in his diary:

"This morning died my brother-in-law Sir Philip Parker, at 3 o'clock, choked by one of those fits he has had for 12 weeks past at sundry times."

So even if they get a brief glimpse of the person, they can track them until they get an identifiable image or even where they live. Subpoenaing records is just building the case to prove it was youSounds surveillance-state-y.
gollark: Ah yes, one example, so that means EVERYONE gets caught.
gollark: h? h.
gollark: Looks helicoptery.
gollark: I'm afraid of actually *touching* geckos and stuff because they can apparently bite quite hard, but they're cool.
