Karen,
I do not believe that anyone has really been able to pinpoint the parents of Sarah White who married Elder John Parker.There are several sites on the internet that name her parents, but some are blatantly wrong: on several sites, her father is mentioned as Benjamin White and mother as Faith Oakman.Our Sarah/Sallie was born 10 Jul 1759 in probably VA, however the Benjamin White that married Faith Oakman died 13 May 1724-some 35 years before Sarah was born. Faith Oakman died in 1758 but was 62 years of age (this Ben and Faith are very well documented as they are descendants of Peregrine White of the Mayflower fame). It is possibly that Sarah's father was a descendant of this Benjamin, however it is impossible that he is her father.
Family tradition states that her father was a Benjamin White and was one of the first Magistrates in Culpepper County. It is very probable however that her father was a Benjamin Watts/Whats, as this Benjamin was in Culpepper Co., at the right time period and Benjamin White was not. Wish I could help more.
