He fought during the [[French and Indian War]], fighting in both the {{Wiki|Siege of Louisbourg (1758)|Siege of Louisbourg}} in 1758 and the {{Wiki|Battle of the Plains of Abraham}} in 1759. It is this military experience that likely led to his election as captain of the militia.<br /> <br /> On 19 April 1775, Parker was in poor health as he was suffering from tuberculosis. However, he led the militia when the [[British Army]] attacked Lexington. When they opened fire, most of his men broke ranks, so he told the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] to travel to nearby [[Concord]] and warn [[James Barrett]], another militia captain.<br /> <br /> Later that day, he rallied his men to attack the regulars returning to [[Boston]] in an ambush known as &quot;Parker's Revenge&quot;. Parker and his men participated in the subsequent Siege of Boston. However, he was unable to serve in the [[Battle of Bunker Hill]] in June, and died of tuberculosis the following September.  <br /> <br /> hi<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> *''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''<br /> {{AC3}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Parker, John}}<br /> [[Category:Individuals]]<br /> [[Category:Patriots]]<br /> [[Category:1729 births]]<br /> [[Category:1775 deaths]]</div>
